Counselling and Psychotherapy
grief counselling
By supporting our clients through the various stages of grief, counselling proves instrumental in easing the pain and struggle attached to bereavement. As well as providing emotional support throughout the therapeutic process, our therapists assist clients in acquiring deeper insights into the denial, bargaining, anger and depression stages involved, in order to transcend the grieving process and attain acceptance.
Losing a loved one is undoubtedly one of the most painful life events a person can experience. Whether facing the shock of sudden death or dealing a terminal illness, unfortunately there are situations in life that are beyond our control. The pain attributed to bereavement can feel overwhelming and there is usually a period of great difficulty in adjusting to life without the departed person and coming to terms with the loss. The emotional upheaval that accompanies loss is very common, yet so many are unaware that such emotions are in fact normal responses in the context of grieving.
Educating our clients about the complex effects of grief, facilitates conscious awareness of the process involved and the personal suffering incurred. In order to move through bereavement in a more harmonious way, our therapists go through the pragmatic processes attributed to loss, which improves the overall functionality of the grieving client.
