Grief is a natural response to loss, but it can feel overwhelming, isolating or confusing. There’s no right way or timeline to grieve, and you don’t have to work through it alone.

Grief can follow many kinds of loss

• The death of someone close, whether expected or sudden
• A traumatic death, such as an accident, workplace incident or act of violence
• Pregnancy loss or infertility
• Separation, divorce or the end of a relationship
• Losing your health, job, home or sense of identity
• Migration, leaving family, culture or country behind

You might notice

• Waves of sadness, anger, guilt or numbness
• Trouble sleeping, eating or concentrating
• Replaying what happened, or wondering “what if”
• Feeling disconnected from others, or that people don’t understand
• Grief that feels stuck, or hasn’t eased with time

How therapy can help

Zohreh offers a calm, compassionate space to talk about your loss and what it means to you. Together you’ll find ways to manage the hardest moments, honour the person or the life you’ve lost, and adjust to a changed world. Drawing on Narrative Therapy, Zohreh can help you keep connections with what and who matters, rather than “moving on” from them. Sessions are shaped around your beliefs, culture and the way you want to remember.

Funding

• Medicare: rebates with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. See the Fee page.
• NSW Victims Support Scheme: if someone close to you died as a result of a violent crime in NSW, you may be eligible for free counselling.
