Grief
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and it doesn't come with a timeline. It can resurface in waves, long after others expect you to have "moved on." If you're grieving a loss and struggling to find your footing, let's work together to help you carry it in a way that feels more manageable.
The first step in working through grief is understanding that there is no right or wrong way to grieve, whatever you're feeling is valid. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll create room for your grief without rushing it, and gently explore how to hold your loss while still moving forward in your life. My approach centres presence, self-compassion, and working at your own pace.
You don't have to grieve alone. Let's take the first step toward healing, in whatever way that looks like for you.

Grief
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in nursing and mental health, I have supported many people with various forms of loss and grief experiences in their life, and how this impacts them on a daily basis. Grief and loss over time when not resolved, can cause an unrelenting sense of despair and emotional pain leaving you feeling lost and stuck in that pain. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment despite your loss, to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Grief
Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Waves of grief can catch you off guard. Just when you think you've made sense of a loss in your head, your emotions swell and tears flow. I navigated a lot of grief in my life and so I feel very anchored and compassionate when sitting with clients wanting to move through their loss. It can be a lot more supportive to not go this journey alone but lean on a caring professional to guide you through this. Book a free 15 minute phone consult via my website to discuss more.
