Grief
Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
In the realm of grief and loss, it is essential to understand that these experiences are multi-layered and complex. One must recognise that grief and loss often maintain their significant impact over time, meaning the ‘size’ of the loss remains ‘big’ thus, the process of healing through grief entails growing around that loss. Clients are provided with the tools and support to navigate their intricate emotions and the challenges that accompany bereavement and loss. Through the application of evidence-based practice (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, clients are guided in working through their grief and adjusting to their loss, ultimately fostering emotional healing and resilience. Be it coping with the loss of a loved one, managing life transitions, or addressing other forms of grief, the goal remains consistent: to steer clients towards a path of acceptance and a positive reconnection with life.

Grief
Julia Symons
Psychologist, Registered psychologist - BSc, Grad. Dip. App. Psych
Grief and loss can touch every aspect of our lives, whether through the death of someone we love, the end of a relationship, changes in health, the loss of a hoped-for future, or other significant life transitions. Grief is deeply personal, and there is no right way or timetable for moving through it. I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can process your experience at your own pace, make sense of your loss, and find ways to carry it while continuing to engage meaningfully with life.

Grief
Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons), B.Sc. (Psych)
Some losses are easy for others to see, like a death. Others go unnoticed: a relationship that ended, drifting apart from family, or, after migrating or a big life change, losing touch with cultural traditions, community or your ancestral language. I work with bereavement, relational loss, and grief that is ambiguous or that others don't recognise. It can show up as waves of sadness, tiredness, tension in your body, or wanting to withdraw. Using somatic and parts-based approaches, we make room for the losses you haven't been able to express, so you can feel your grief and carry it without having to push it down.

Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Grief can feel heavy, confusing, and deeply isolating whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, your sense of identity, or a chapter of your life. There is no “right way” to grieve, and you don’t have to navigate this process alone.
I offer a compassionate, safe space to explore your emotions, make sense of the pain, and gently find your way forward. Together, we honour your loss while supporting your healing, resilience, and reconnection with life at your own pace.
