"There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen"

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
