Grief and Loss Counselling
Grief and loss are not experiences to simply 'get over' or 'move on' from. Grief transforms you forever, and this reality must be acknowledged. For a deeper understanding, Megan Devine's book, "It's OK that you're NOT OK," explores the true nature of grief and loss.
Non-death loss
Another form of grief also encompasses various life changes including:
- loss of family pet
- divorce
- separation/family changes
- health - illness or disability
- moving home/loss of home
- migration
- changes or loss of job/career
- shifts in self-identity
- missed opportunities
- many more...

No fancy artwork. No need for an artistic background. Engaging in art therapy allows for self-expression through making marks on paper or creating 3D works. This process can be particularly beneficial in grief & loss, helping individuals navigate their emotions without the need to talk.
Not wanting to feel pain
