The Many Forms of Grief
Grief is not only about the death of a person. It can follow the end of a relationship, loss of health, loss of identity, infertility, the end of a career, or any significant change that involves losing something or someone that mattered. Whatever your loss, it is real and it deserves proper acknowledgment. Our therapists work with the full spectrum of grief without hierarchy or comparison.
When Grief Becomes Complicated
For some people, grief does not follow a trajectory that time alone can resolve. Complicated grief is characterised by an intensity or duration that significantly impairs daily functioning. It can follow traumatic or sudden loss, the death of someone with whom the relationship was complex, or multiple losses in a short period. Specialist therapy provides structured support where grief has become stuck.
