Grief Counselling Services
Navigate Loss and Heal with Compassionate Grief Counselling
Grief is a natural and personal response to loss, but it can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate.
At Sigma Therapies, we offer professional grief counselling to help individuals and families cope with loss, process emotions, and find a path towards healing.
Whether you’ve lost a loved one, experienced a significant life change, or are struggling with anticipatory grief, our experienced therapists provide compassionate support through every stage of the grieving process
What is Grief Counselling?
Grief counselling is a form of therapy that helps individuals cope with the emotional, physical, and mental effects of loss. Grief can take many forms, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or even the grieving of life changes.
Our grief counselling services focus on creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your emotions, express your feelings of loss, and find healthy ways to adjust to your new reality.
Grief counselling can help you work through the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—or support you in finding your unique way of processing and coping with loss.
How Our Family Counselling Can Help You
Grief counselling is a supportive and healing process that can help you:
» Process Emotions: Work through the complex emotions associated with loss, including sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion.

»
Adjust to Life After Loss: Find ways to adjust to life without the person or situation you’ve lost, including rebuilding routines and a sense of purpose.
» Cope with Grief Triggers: Learn how to cope with grief triggers, such as anniversaries, holidays, or reminders, that may intensify feelings of loss.

»
Manage Physical Symptoms: Understand and manage the physical symptoms of grief, such as fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and changes in appetite.
» Develop Coping Strategies: Build healthy coping mechanisms to manage your grief over time, including self-care techniques, mindfulness, and emotional regulation.

» Work Through Complicated or Prolonged Grief: Address complicated grief, which may include feeling stuck in the grieving process or struggling with more intense or long-lasting symptoms.

The Benefits of Grief Counselling
Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Grief counselling offers several benefits, including:
- A Safe Space to Express Emotions: Grief can bring up a wide range of emotions, some of which may be difficult to express with friends or family. In counselling, you have a safe, private space to talk about your feelings without fear of judgement.
- Understanding the Grieving Process: Grief counselling helps you better understand the normal stages of grief and reassures you that your emotional responses are valid. This can reduce feelings of confusion or shame about your grief.
- Support for Complicated Grief: In some cases, grief may feel unmanageable or last longer than expected. Counselling can help you work through complicated grief, which can lead to healing and emotional resolution.
- Restoring Emotional Balance: Counselling provides tools and strategies to help you regain emotional balance and resilience, allowing you to process your loss while also moving forward with life.

What to Expect from Grief Counselling Sessions
At Sigma Therapies, our grief counselling sessions are focused on creating a supportive, non-judgemental environment where you can explore your feelings at your own pace. Here’s what to expect during grief counselling:
- Initial Consultation: In the first session, your therapist will talk with you about your loss, your emotional responses, and your goals for therapy. This helps us understand your needs and develop a personalised approach to support your grief process.
- Exploring Emotions: Throughout the counselling process, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, and even relief. Our therapists will help you make sense of these feelings and guide you through the grieving process.
- Processing the Loss: You’ll work with your therapist to process the loss and explore the impact it has had on your life. Whether the loss is recent or something you’ve been struggling with for a long time, grief counselling helps you find emotional healing.
- Developing Coping Strategies: Grief counselling includes practical tools to help you cope with grief triggers, manage emotional distress, and create a support system to help you through difficult moments.
- Ongoing Support: Grief is not a linear process, and you may need support at different stages of your journey. Our therapists provide ongoing support as you work through your grief, ensuring that you have the resources you need to navigate the emotional ups and downs.
