Grief therapy helps people process the pain of losing someone or something important. Grief therapy can also support someone through life transitions and big life events. It provides compassionate support to move through the stages of grief in healthy ways.

Grief therapists create a safe space to express emotions, honour memories, and find meaning after a loss. Techniques like narrative therapy, IFS, and mindfulness are often used to help honor the big emotions that come after a loss or unexpected change.
