Grief is an underlying part of the human experience woven into the fabric of life.
Grief is a universal experience as everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, will encounter loss in their lifetime. This creates a shared human experience, connecting us through the understanding of what it means to mourn and rebuild.
Grief is a complex and personal experience though that we go through after a loss. It can manifest in many different ways and there is no right or wrong way to grieve as it is a normal and healthy response to loss.
Some common types of grief we can experience over a lifetime
There are also many other ways we can experience loss
By recognising grief as an inherent part of life, we can move away from stigmatising it and instead approach it with compassion and understanding for ourselves and others. It's not just about overcoming loss but also about integrating it into our lives and finding strength and meaning through the experience.

Some client stories
‘Paula provides a safe, professional haven to her clients in moments of crisis and personal loss. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate and empathetic psychotherapist.’ Lesley (Perth)
'When I walked through Paula’s rooms, I was going through a separation and the loss of two family members. I didn’t know what to expect! But with Paula’s caring nature, she gave me the tools to recognise and cope as I went through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief. She provided me with a safe haven and made me see things that I would not normally have been willing to see, accept or understand. I now feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself. Thank you Paula.' Mia
