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.

Types of Loss I Work With

Maybe you recognize yourself in one of these:

  • the loss of a child

  • the death of a partner

  • a miscarriage or stillbirth

  • a separation or divorce

  • saying goodbye to a parent

  • an unfulfilled wish to have children

  • caring for a family member who needs support

  • the death of a colleague

"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

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 a daughter, a partner, a mother, a friend. And suddenly that role is gone, or feels completely different. And something in you changes with it. The question appears and grows 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 our work together looks

We can talk by phone or video, whichever feels right for you. I'm available on weekends and holidays too, because grief and the need for support don't follow a calendar. Your first appointment is available within 48 hours. If after about 15 minutes it doesn't feel like the right fit, we end the call and there's no charge.

 

Maybe you'd also like to give someone you care about the gift of companionship during a hard time. You're welcome to reach out through the contact form anytime.
