Get Grief And Loss Counselling In Our Supportive Brighton Melbourne Clinic
Are you experiencing strong feelings of loss and grief, or are you now becoming aware of unprocessed grief from the past? Whichever it is, your feelings can be supported and dealt with appropriately. It may be necessary to get some help.
Contact me – Adam Szmerling. I am a trained psychotherapist with experience dealing with grief and loss counselling via several methods. I can tailor an approach to support your needs.
I can help you via face-to-face loss and grief counselling at my Brighton clinic, or if you can’t get to Brighton or prefer to work from the comfort of your own home, I also provide online counselling via Skype. Read on for more details.
Everyone experiences grief at times. Loss of a partner, a parent, a pet, or any number of losses can trigger us to feel intensely, or go numb, and sometimes question our life priorities and values. And, if we are predisposed to avoiding feelings or to feeling but not dealing, we can struggle with grief and loss even more.
For this reason, an empathic counsellor can help you to feel safe and secure to work through painful and even shameful feelings. Unfortunately our society is not generally skilled in understanding the effects of grief and loss. The lack of adequate grieving can result in complicated grief later in life. Grief that is delayed and heightened delivers deep consequences of anxiety, depression, musculoskeletal conditions and even digestive disturbances.
Don’t let grief take over your life
Let’s work together to help you deal with grief and loss
I can help you in my Brighton clinic or you can get assistance via Skype with online counselling.
Mindfulness therapy and grief and loss counselling can greatly assist you to process safely what you feel, without judgement. Grief is not an "illness." Your experience of grief and loss is unique, and might even feel overwhelming, but does not mean you are going crazy.
The first counselling session aims to find out if we “click”, and how I can help you best. I will help you to feel safe in the room, then help you to transform your feelings of safety with me into the rest of your life, so you can be with your loss and grief feelings without being overwhelmed by them. This is achieved through mindfulness therapy and attachment therapy, within a tailored style rather than scripted approach. My unique blend of Eastern and Western therapies means you'll have a good chance of recovery even if you've tried other kinds of grief and loss counselling before.
How Long will Grief and Loss Counselling Take?
Although grieving, and therapy, are more of a process rather than a fixed destination, you could start feeling better quickly. After a few sessions we will know how counselling is helping, and then we will have a clearer idea of how long to expect for lasting change to occur. I suggest being self-accepting and not to push yourself.
How is Bayside Psychotherapy’s Approach to Grief and Loss Different?
When you participate in therapy in our Bayside counselling clinic, I work a little differently to what you may be accustomed to. I blend Eastern and Western counselling methods which makes my approach unique. My training in counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, nlp and Buddhist psychotherapy means I have a wide range of skills and compassion available to help you through your intense feelings, and help you make sense of your life.
It takes courage to start grief and loss counselling, and it can be rewarding and relieving for you too.
You can call me on 9530 6353 to make a confidential appointment for grief and loss counselling.
