Loss or grief is the kind of universal experience that can be helped by empathic understanding from another. Psychotherapy and of course, other close, intimate connections, can provide that place of understanding.

We grieve all losses, not just the loss of life. It is surprising how a few consultations can help reorganise one's emotions after a loss. In the case of a death, grief does not always need therapy. But grief can so easily become 'complicated' by one of many issues (trauma, suicide, the nature of the death, our relationship with that person, or how they died) and then therapy can help free up the natural processing of a loss.
I have worked with many people from different cultures around grief & loss. Grief & loss is not limited to death, it is also a major component in dealing with chronic illness/pain. It also includes end of life care, which I have supported terminal patients & their loved ones through.

While grief and loss is universal, our culture isn't always understanding of what to do, say or support someone experiencing loss. I offer a space where people can be less alone with their grief. There is often no such thing as closure but with time and support the pain can reduce in intensity.
