ARE YOU GRIEVING AND FACING A LOSS?

Losing a loved one through death or even divorce is one of the most distressing and, unfortunately, common experiences people face. Most people experiencing normal grief and bereavement have a period of sorrow, numbness, and even guilt and anger. Gradually these feelings ease, and it's possible to accept loss and move forward.

For some people, feelings of loss are debilitating and don't improve even after time passes. This is known as complicated grief, sometimes called persistent complex bereavement disorder. In complicated grief, painful emotions are so long lasting and severe that you have trouble recovering from the loss and resuming your own life.

Different people follow different paths through the grieving experience. The order and timing of these phases may vary from person to person.

Trauma is essentially about loss and my work as a psychologist, who helps people to deal with their traumas, has given me experience in assisting people with their grief and mourning. We as humans also face other kinds of losses throughout our lives such as divorce, break-ups, retrenchment and the death of our loved ones. There are an infinite number of losses which we may face on a daily basis.

I can assist you on this journey that you are facing.

I offer individual grief counselling for people who are grieving and facing a loss as well as families who are grieving.
