What to Expect in a Session
Each session offers a calm and compassionate space where your grief is welcome, whatever form it takes. You may wish to speak about the person or future you have lost, the impact it has had on you, or simply how life feels now.
There is no right way to grieve. We move at your pace, allowing space for what needs to be spoken, remembered, questioned, or quietly held. Together, we make room for your experience and consider how you might carry your loss in a way that feels more bearable.
What May Emerge
-
A gentler relationship with yourself in painful moments
-
A deeper understanding of how this loss has shaped you
-
Space for meaning to take form in its own time
-
A way of carrying your loss that feels more steady and integrated

Understanding Grief
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there’s no right way to feel it. Whether you’re mourning a recent loss or coping with a long-standing absence, grief can bring waves of sadness, guilt, confusion, anger—or numbness. It can affect your relationships, identity, and your sense of purpose.
How Existential Therapy Helps
In existential therapy, we honour the complexity of grief. It is not something to be “fixed” or rushed through. Instead, we explore how this loss has affected your world and your understanding of life and self. Together, we make space for your feelings, however they show up, and gently explore how to live alongside them.
Grief can also prompt deeper questions—about meaning, mortality, and how to live in a changed world. These questions are welcome in our work together.
