Are you struggling with the loss of someone or something important in your life? Perhaps you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship or another significant change that has left you feeling sad, lost or overwhelmed.
I'm Jana, a counsellor based in Whangarei. I offer a caring, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk about your loss, explore your feelings and find your own way forward.
Coping with grief and loss
Losing someone or something you love can be incredibly painful. Grief may bring a mixture of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, fear or a feeling of emptiness.
You may also experience difficulties with sleeping, concentrating or finding the energy for everyday activities.
I can offer support when you're dealing with:
- The death of a loved one
- Grief and bereavement
- The end of a relationship or separation
- Feelings of loneliness and emptiness
- Difficult emotions following a significant loss
- Changes in your life that are difficult to accept
Everyone experiences loss differently. There is no need to have a clear understanding of your feelings before coming to counselling.
A space to talk about what you're going through
When you're grieving, it can sometimes feel as though you're carrying your emotions alone.
I believe that talking through difficult experiences with someone who listens without judgement can help you gain new understanding and perspective.
In my counselling sessions, the focus is on you. I don't follow a fixed agenda or tell you how you should feel.
Instead, I listen to what matters to you and support you in making sense of your thoughts and emotions.
You may want to talk about the person or situation you've lost, the feelings you're experiencing or how your loss is affecting your relationships and everyday life.
We can explore these things together, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Finding your way forward
Grief is not something you need to rush through or simply put behind you.
My aim is to help you explore your feelings, gradually come to terms with your loss and find ways to move forward while respecting what you've experienced.
I offer a warm and respectful environment where you can express yourself openly, without pressure or expectations.
Whether your loss is recent or something you've been carrying for a long time, you're welcome to reach out for support.
