How I sincerely wish you were not in need of this service. But... you and your broken heart are here. Grief never comes knocking asking for permission. It just shows up.
The experience of sudden and traumatic loss with suicide turns you inside out. It can feel like you don't know who you are or how life can ever contain joy again.
I've been a therapist for 5 years but a grieving human for much longer. Most of my work to date has been in the area of adult mental health recovery, and I have sat with many people who have been bereaved by suicide. These days I am in private practice and use an eclectic mix of approaches in counselling which I hope will assist you in carrying your grief.
I have a strong belief that we can continue to grow our lives around our Grief, ...that we can move forward and experience aliveness whilst still holding our Grief ... and all the while continuing to deeply honour this loss.
My life was impacted by the suicide of a close friend around 5 years ago... so it is that I carry my own knowing of this experience; and of the haunting nature of the questions that remain.
A little about me; I have three kids (sons of 28, 19 and a daughter of 16). I live in the Waitakere Ranges with my partner and daughter, and two adored cats - where I am also found hiking and cycling. I love to read non-fiction and really enjoy sharing stuff that I learn about with clients and friends.
I work in beautiful Titirangi in West Auckland, in amongst the healing energies of green and trees.
I can meet with you in-person or online and I look forward to supporting you. If you would like to read more about me and my work, please visit my website:
