Grief & Loss Therapy
in Sydney
Grief changes you. Whether you’re mourning the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a version of life that no longer exists, the pain can feel heavy, confusing, and at times, invisible to the world around you.
You might be holding it together on the outside — going to work, showing up for others — but inside, you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to keep going. Some days bring tears, others bring numbness. And sometimes, you may just feel stuck.
Grief doesn’t have a timeline. It doesn’t follow stages in order. It moves in waves, and so does healing.
In our sessions, we’ll focus on what matters to you — making space for your story, honouring what you’ve lost, and exploring how to carry it without being consumed by it. Through gentle, focused support, I’ll help you find steadier ground — not by rushing the process, but by walking it with you.

Book NowThe Quiet Landscape
of Grief and Loss
Grief doesn’t crash in — it lingers. It reshapes your days in subtle ways: the silence in conversations, the heaviness in your chest, the ache in moments that used to bring joy. Sometimes, it’s a sudden wave of emotion. Other times, it’s an emptiness that quietly follows you through the day.
This isn’t weakness. This is your heart learning how to live with absence. Grief is your mind’s attempt to understand something irreversible, something deeply human. It asks you to slow down, to feel, to make sense of love that no longer has a place to go.
When ignored, grief can weigh you down — pulling at your energy, your mood, your motivation. But when you allow it space, it can lead to healing. It can help you reflect, remember, and begin to rebuild.
Through therapy, you’ll be supported to explore your loss gently — to process the pain, to honour what’s gone, and to begin creating meaning again. Step by step, you’ll find a path that feels more whole, more grounded, and more you.
Together, we’ll help you move forward — without forgetting what matters.

What fuels prolonged
Grief and Loss
Grief doesn’t exist in isolation. It’s shaped by your life experiences, your relationships,and how you’ve been taught to process pain. While some losses are clear and visible, others are quiet and deeply personal. And when grief lingers or resurfaces in unexpected ways, there are often deeper influences at play. Here are some common contributors:
Sudden or Unexpected Loss Unexpected deaths, such as those from accidents or sudden illnesses, can lead to shock and difficulty accepting the reality of the loss.- Unresolved Issues Conflicted relationships or unspoken sentiments with the deceased may result in feelings of guilt or regret, complicating the grieving process.
- Multiple Losses Experiencing several losses in a short period can overwhelm one’s ability to cope, making it harder to process each individual grief.
- Lack of Support Grieving in isolation or without a supportive network can exacerbate feelings of loneliness and hinder the healing process.
- Cultural or Societal Expectations Pressure to “move on” or grieve in a certain way can invalidate personal grieving experiences, leading to suppressed emotions.
- Anniversary Reactions Significant dates, such as birthdays or anniversaries, can trigger intense emotions and memories, sometimes unexpectedly.
- Physical Manifestations Grief can manifest physically, leading to symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, or changes in appetite, which can further impact emotional well-being.
- Caregiver Burnout Providing long-term care can lead to emotional exhaustion, making the grieving process more challenging.
- Mental Health History A personal history of depression or anxiety can intensify grief responses and hinder healing.
- Lack of Social Support Feeling isolated or unsupported can exacerbate feelings of loss and prolong the grieving process.

With Alexander Rodriguez
Grief isn’t something you move past—it becomes something you learn to live alongside. While life continues, your loss remains real, shaping your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in ways others may not fully see or understand.
You might feel like you’re quietly holding it together—appearing strong to the world, yet deeply struggling on the inside. Your grief might show up as sadness, anger, exhaustion, or simply as an emptiness you can’t quite name.
Therapy offers you compassionate, dedicated support—not to erase the pain, but to help you carry it gently, meaningfully, and with renewed strength. Together, we’ll find healthy ways to honour your loss, process your emotions, and build practical steps toward stability, acceptance, and hope.
