I help people going through the process of grief, endings and changes, whether that's losing a loved one or the ending of a relationship. Often this process takes people to a dark place that they feel like they're never going to come out of. But there is hope. Grief only gets stuck if the emotions are avoided and not fully felt and this process of grieving is something everyone goes through at some point. Once the feelings are embraced, they can be released as the waves of grief gradually subside. There is no time limit for this and everyone deals with grief differently. It can't be rushed.
Often people tell themselves stories about who they are or about their life, with the subconscious intention of protecting theirself from trauma. These fear based stories can hold people back so if anything like this comes up during a session we will look at the story or fear rationally, putting you back in the driver's seat of your life.
I encourage my clients to connect with their authentic selves which can be a process that takes time but brings many rewards so if you're ready to commit to this journey I welcome you to reach out with any questions. I also find I work well with neurodivergent people and the challenges and gifts that come with this. Send a message if you'd like to know more
