Grief and Loss
Understanding Grief and Loss
Grief is a natural emotional response to losing someone or something meaningful — whether that’s a loved one, a relationship, health, or a major life role. While grief is a normal process, it can sometimes feel overwhelming and interfere with daily life, especially when loss is sudden, traumatic, or ongoing.
How Therapy Can Help
At Psychology Clinical Rooms, therapy offers a compassionate space to process grief, honour loss, and reconnect with meaning. Approaches such as Complicated Grief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance-Based approaches can support healing at your own pace. Therapy focuses on adjustment, resilience, and finding balance between remembering and rebuilding.
Grieving takes time, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Support can help you move toward peace and understanding.
