Supporting you to acknoweldge life's Loss

Loss—such a small word, yet anyone who has experienced it knows how profoundly it can shape a person. While loss is often associated with
bereavement, it extends far beyond the death of a loved one. Loss can take many forms, each carrying its own weight and challenges.
Loss is the experience of losing something or someone significant, often bringing grief, sadness, or emotional distress. It is not limited to death
but can include:

​

• The loss of a loved one (bereavement)

• The loss of a relationship (breakup, divorce, estrangement)

• The loss of health (chronic illness, disability)

• The loss of a job or financial security

• The loss of identity or purpose (retirement, major life changes)

• The loss of a dream or expectation (infertility, unfulfilled goals)

In counselling, people often bring in their distress without labeling it as a ‘loss’ experience. Simply recognising it as such can be incredibly validating and an important step in healing and starting to move forward.
