Bereavement Counselling in Sydney, NSW

Life has its challenges at times, and there can be a great need to talk about some issues. We may feel uncomfortable talking to family and friends about things like grief we still experience following the death of a significant person many years ago, or abuse we’ve suffered in our childhoods. We may have grown up in a volatile and stressful family environment with unsupportive or even punitive parents, and the prospect of expecting or having a baby ourselves is making us feel anxious or depressed. We may have been struggling with weight issues or sleep problems for too many years, or are haunted by disturbing dreams.

Have you been feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or have a general sense of unease in your life? Have there been events that have been affecting you? Or perhaps, you have recently started noticing a change in your moods? Counselling can help.

Losing someone you love can bring up a range of emotions. You are learning to live with a new “normal.” Although grief can be very painful and at times intolerable, you don’t have to suffer in silence or in isolation. Seeking help to work through your grief is not a sign of weakness. We take pride in being by your side, providing you with a compassionate space to feel heard and supported during this difficult time in your life.

I have worked with individuals and couples for over thirty years, helping them negotiate the struggles of life in this time of quick change, uncertainty and significant social pressure. Relationships are the first victims when people become anxious or challenged in their lives. Yet I believe relationships are the core to good mental health and personal development. These issues are relevant to people of all ages, and not specific to gender, race or religion. The presenting symptom could be grief , anxiety, depression, arguments, irritability or any form of dysfunctional behaviour - the underlying issue has to be addressed.

Are you anxious or depressed, feeling isolated, lonely or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to manage some complicated emotional challenges? Maybe it’s difficult for you to get through a day without collapsing in an emotional heap. You may be dealing with the ending of an important relationship or you are struggling to come to terms with the death of someone you loved, feeling unable to cope with the grief you are experiencing. You may find it difficult to deal with a major life transition or with changes in your health or your body. Or maybe you just don’t know who you are anymore and you want more out of life.

Do you feel like you are lost in a wilderness of loss and grief and fed up with people telling you to get over it? Have you lost your direction and not sure where you are heading, not living your values and not going anywhere, going in circles, or going backwards? Do you feel that home or work is not how you would like it to be? Do you feel overwhelmed with commitments, a never ending to-do-list and feel in a brain fog? Through counselling, coaching and consulting I can help you to honour your loss , rebuild your life, find your place to meet, acknowledge and accept where you are and where you might want to be.
