Grief and Loss Counselling
Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology | Menai and Sutherland Shire
At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in Menai, Sutherland Shire, our psychologists and counsellors provide evidence-based grief and loss counselling to support children, adolescents, adults and older adults, following the death of a loved one, significant loss, or major life change.
We offer in-person sessions at our Menai psychology clinic in the Sutherland Shire, supporting clients from Bangor, Illawong, Engadine and surrounding suburbs, as well as online counselling for clients throughout Sydney and across Australia.
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and no two journeys are the same. You may feel sadness, anger, guilt, disbelief or confusion, sometimes all at once. These emotions rarely follow a set order, and it’s natural to revisit feelings as you adapt to changes in your life and relationships. Grief can also affect concentration, sleep, appetite and motivation, making even small daily tasks feel overwhelming. Understanding these reactions can help make sense of your experience and bring compassion to the healing process.
Our clinicians offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can express your feelings safely and explore emotions at a pace that feels comfortable. Counselling can help you recognise patterns in your grief, develop coping tools, and gradually reconnect with a sense of stability, meaning and purpose.
Our psychologists and counsellors draw on a range of evidence-based approaches for grief counselling in the Sutherland Shire, including:
-
Mindfulness-Based approaches
We also offer creative and experiential therapies, such as art therapy and play therapy, which provide gentle and expressive ways to process grief, particularly for children and young people. These approaches help explore emotions that may be difficult to put into words.
In some cases, our clinicians work alongside families and carers to strengthen understanding and connection through the grieving process. For additional resources, we recommend exploring GriefLine.
