individual grief counseling, online
You can tell me about your loss. About the person. About the memories that still matter to you. This isn't about getting anything right. It's about being present with what is. I'm here to listen.
Maybe a lot feels heavy or dark right now. That's exactly where we start. Together we look at what's there and find a way for you to live with what has happened, without losing yourself in the process. And over time, you may begin to feel more again. Not just the pain, but also what feels good.

This is for you if you're carrying something that has changed your life and you don't want to go through it alone.

"step by step, I found my footing again."
Losing someone you love can be completely overwhelming. I'm so grateful I didn't have to navigate that alone. With empathy, real understanding, and professional depth, Theres helped me process my grief and find stability step by step. She creates a space where all feelings are truly welcome. You can feel how much this work means to her. She always has an open ear and genuinely understands what grieving people need. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for support.

"I can be sad and still find happiness again."
How could I feel happy again while grieving so deeply for my dad? Nobody could answer that for me until I met Theres. Together, with so much warmth and care, we found a path where I can hold both sadness and happiness at the same time. From the very first moment there was a trust I hadn't expected, and it made it easy to open up. I'm endlessly grateful to Theres for helping me find my way back to myself.
Dana, 1:1 grief counseling
"I truly felt seen and understood."
In our sessions I felt genuinely seen and understood. It was a space where I could open up and everything was allowed to be there, without needing to explain or justify myself. What meant the most was how present you are: actively listening, intuitively following what's there in the moment. I was able to say things out loud that I'd been carrying alone for a long time. Our conversations gave me grounding and helped me better make sense of my own feelings. I felt accepted exactly as I am.

facts about grief and loss that everyone should know
THE FIRST WEEKS AFTER A LOSS HAVE A CHARACTER ALL THEIR OWN
Sleep shifts. Eating becomes hard. Thoughts feel foggy and conversations barely stick. Some people feel like they're losing their footing, or even their mind. That's a completely normal response to what has happened. You're allowed to have days where you stay in bed with no energy. And at the same time, step by step, you get to shape how you want to move forward. You're allowed to feel. And you're allowed to shape.
AFTER THE FUNERAL, IT OFTEN GETS HARDER
When the first weeks are over, things go quiet. The cards stop coming, the messages slow down, and for everyone else, life moves on. Appointments return, conversations go back to everyday things. And you're left with what's there. Maybe that's when it really hits: the emptiness, the missing, the moments when you see how much everything has changed. For many people, the real process begins here, when things go quieter on the outside while so much is only just showing itself on the inside.
GRIEF SOMETIMES BEGINS EARLIER, OR STAYS INVISIBLE
It's a common misconception that grief only begins with death. It often starts earlier, the moment you sense something is changing and you can't stop it. With a diagnosis, during an illness, in the waiting, in a slow goodbye. And sometimes grief is barely visible to others: with a miscarriage, an abortion, a separation, or an unfulfilled wish to have children. Losses without a clear place that still change everything. That is grief too.
BETWEEN GUILT AND MOMENTS THAT FEEL GOOD
There are moments when you laugh again, and then a moment later you catch yourself and feel bad about it. You wonder if that's wrong. Maybe you're even ashamed of feeling joy, as if you were betraying someone. A lot of people know this feeling: the question of whether you're even allowed to feel okay while the loss is still so present. And yet those moments matter. You need them too. Moments where things feel a little lighter. That doesn't take anything away from the loss and doesn't make it any less significant.
WHO AM I NOW
You were someone's child, grandchild, partner, parent, grandparent, or friend. And suddenly that role is gone, or feels completely different. And something in you changes with it. The questions appear and grow more present over time: who am I now without this person? What's left of me when part of my life is missing? That can be a lot to hold. It's not only about losing the relationship. It's also about you, your sense of self, your place in life, and slowly finding yourself again in this new reality.
how online grief counseling works
You don't need to come with a plan. We talk by phone or video, whenever you're ready, at your pace.
I'm available on weekends and holidays too. Your first appointment is available within 48 hours. If you feel after about 15 minutes that it's not the right fit, we end the session and there's no charge.
You can also book a session as a gift for someone who is going through a hard time.
60 minutes, a first step
You get space to be heard and to breathe for a moment. For an acute situation, a first meeting, or when you have something specific to bring. Sometimes there's just too much: thoughts, feelings, questions with nowhere to go. A first conversation can help you say out loud what otherwise has no place.
→ A good starting point for not carrying everything alone anymore.
EUR 150 (incl. 19% VAT)
6 × 60 minutes, Support That Stays With You
You won't just be heard — you'll be supported over time. Some processes need space to unfold. Knowing that someone is consistently there for you over several weeks can bring stability and carry you through the hardest moments. If you'd like to continue after your package, we can always talk about that together.
→ For you, if you're ready for real, ongoing support by your side

Grief counseling is not a substitute for psychotherapy. If you notice that what you're carrying goes beyond grief, for example depression, thoughts of suicide, or a serious mental health crisis, you would be better supported by a therapist or doctor. I'm happy to help you find the right resource.
