How Bereavement Counselling Can Help You Create A Better Tomorrow

When your loved one has died you may feel like you are struggling to cope, consumed with intense emotions, helplessness, feelings of sadness, shock, numbness, loss and wondering. You may even feel panic and anxiety, or life may seem to have lost its meaning. You may also feel like you are betraying your loved one by feeling better and starting to live your life again.

When you make an appointment to speak to a qualified professional counsellor/psychotherapist like me, you are given the opportunity to talk and share those overwhelming feelings. In a confidential space where you can open up and speak freely and without judgement.

Your individual counselling will be an optional and powerful first step towards coming to terms with your loss and working through your grief.

Why You Need A Bereavement Counsellor

When someone you know and love has died, the emotions that you feel can make it difficult to cope with the day to day routine of your life. This can affect your emotional and physical wellness as well as just having the strength to get through the day or feeling like you are moving forward in life.

Of course, you eventually want to feel as you did before and get back to life as you knew it. But although things without your loved one will never be the same, it doesn’t mean that things will not get better. Now that your loved one is no longer around, it can be hard to know how to move forward with life. But there is a path for you to move forward and find some happiness and balance in your life. Letting go of your loss and grief doesn’t mean that you have forgotten

Professional counsellors like myself have the knowledge and skills to help you take those steps toward a better tomorrow. It may seem hard to imagine ever getting back to a normal life routine, but I will support you to work towards that personal goal of feeling like yourself again.
