We specialise in providing support to people impacted by grief and loss

Are you struggling with significant loss? You don’t have to do this alone.

We recognise the experience of a loss can upturn lives and leave people feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed.

Grief is a natural response to loss.  When we grieve it is not just sorrow that is felt, but a range of difficult emotions. Even when loss is anticipated it is often met with shock and numbness. Then other emotions commonly emerge, such as: fear, anxiety, hopelessness, despair, isolation, regret, guilt and anger as the reality of loss sinks into awareness.

One of the greatest challenges of a significant loss is that it often gives rise to many other losses. The loss of a significant person, possession or role we have fulfilled can lead to the loss of security, certainty, identity, hopes and dreams we have for our future. The very foundations of life can feel shattered and shaken.

Grief is different for everyone and can have no rules of engagement. It impacts on multiple levels in our thoughts, feelings, and physical body.

While the support of family and friends can be helpful, when navigating times of great upheaval specialised professional support can be very worthwhile.
