Grief has many triggers - some expected, some that seem to come out of nowhere.
Be gentle with yourself.

Grief counselling isn't about
"moving on" or letting go of what mattered.
It's about learning how to carry loss without losing yourself.
Grief shows up in waves - sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, confusion - sometimes all at once, sometimes years later.
There's no timeline. No right way. No finish line.
In grief counselling, you're given space to:
• talk about the person or loss without being rushed
• feel what you feel without being told to "be strong"
• understand how grief lives in the body and nervous system
• find meaning, memory, and moments of breath again
Healing doesn't mean forgetting.
It means learning how to live with love and loss side by side.

Fresh starts. Strict routines. "New Year, new me."
If you don't want to make any big plans, that's fine too.
Grief doesn't follow a calendar or timetable.

A new year often turns our attention outward - to plans, goals, expectations.
What if this one places the spotlight gently back on you: your wellbeing, your limits, your growth?

Take a moment to check in with yourself. What nourishes you? What drains you? What small steps can you take each day to honor your own needs and dreams?
This year, let self-compassion guide your ambitions.
Celebrate progress, not perfection. Listen to your body, your mind, your heart. Growth isn't just about doing more - it's about being more fully present with yourself.
Here's to a year of gentle reflection, mindful choices, and flourishing from the inside out. ✨
