Professional Grief Support
You don’t have to grieve alone
Professional Grief Counselling
Dr Cory Middleton (Psychologist) provides specialist grief counselling for individuals who need support as a result of significant loss. Cory shares his warm and empathetic style to listen to your experience, to understand the significance of the loss like others around you may not be able to.
Many find comfort in finding someone who ‘gets it’ without bias, without judgment. Grief counselling is a healthy space to voice everything you may be feeling about the loss.
Your initial appointment will take up to 90-minutes. In this first session we will explore all the important parts of your experience. From here, we can map out the areas of work you would like support with.
Practical Guidance for Terminal Conditions
Discovering you or someone close to you has a terminal condition is life changing. There are so many parts of this that can be overwhelming - after all it’s not just the diagnosis (which is painful enough), it’s the ongoing life changes for everyone who will be effected by this loss. It’s getting ready to say goodbye. It’s about unfinished ambition, unfilled dreams.
If you find yourself new to this space of terminal illness, you will begin to discover that unfortunately it is more common than you might imagine. Yet, for as many people there are who have experienced a terminal illness, there isn’t a simple playbook for how to manage this time.
Here at Grief Talk, counselling sessions are strictly confidential, providing you the space to get it all out with a professional who is non-judgmental and deeply understanding.
Navigate Other’s Reactions to Death
Grief effects all of the community that the deceased lived within. Yet, those experiences of grief can vary a great deal from person-to-person. Every individual in that family, that circle of friends, in that community knew the deceased differently. They held a different attachment with them. Even family members living under the one roof all maintained slightly unique experiences with the deceased. When significant loss effects a family, the expectations of others around you can be an immensely challenging aspect to deal with. These pressures can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety about interaction with them, anger in their perceived response to grief, confusion. Proactively working through Grief counselling provides a place to talk about these changed dynamics and how you can practically manage those interactions.
