Welcome to Bee Yourself Counselling

The main reason people seek counselling for grief and loss is due to the death of a beloved person or pet. I have a passion to normalise grief and loss. I believe society still has such a long way to go when it comes to helping grieving people. You might be graced with a couple of weeks to "get over" your grief. In reality, we grieve for a lifetime but the nature of our grief changes.

I find demystifying the emotion of grief helps clients immensely. It can seem like such a BIG and OVERWHELMING emotion but in reality it is an emotion like any other that requires attention and understanding. I have recently experienced a greater than usual amount of grief and loss on a personal level so I "get it" personally and professionally.

Grief is caused by loss.  Apart from the death of a person or pet you may experience grief due to some of the losses below:

• Divorce/separation
• Relationship issues
• Illness or injury 
• Trauma
• Loneliness
• Lack of meaning/purpose
• Change in life circumstances
• Retirement
