Grief
Kristen Bayliss
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
Most people will experience loss at some point in their lives. Therapy can help with any sort of loss, whether society validates the grief or not. Therapy is an opportunity to explore your feelings and memories without judgment. No loss is too big or too small to warrant support. You do not have to endure your grief alone.

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.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
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.

Grief
Delphine Marina Psychotherapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, Diploma Soul Centred Psychotherapy; MA(R.es) Cultural Studies; GradDip IT & Politics; BA(Hons)Human
Grief is not just a response to death—it can arise after the loss of a relationship, health, identity, future dreams, or any part of life that held meaning. It may come in waves, or feel like a heavy fog that lingers longer than expected. In a world that often rushes healing, your grief deserves time, space, and compassion.
In therapy, we honour your loss without needing to fix or minimise it. We explore what the loss meant to you, how it’s shaped your inner world, and what it’s asking of you now. Together, we make space for sorrow, memory, love, and the slow return to meaning and wholeness.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
