Grief Counselling in Singapore
Grief Counselling
If you have recently lost someone through death or the person’s passing was some time ago, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how painful and hard it is. I’ve been there.
You might be feeling untethered. Maybe you’re going through the motions, feeling numb inside while trying to function as if you are all okay. But deep down, you feel your life has been turned upside down, you are feeling heavy, foggy and you can’t seem to make sense of your pain or move on.
Grief is not a one time fix, and it is not something you “get over”. Grief is not linear and it is a healing process. You will not fully be free from grief, and it is something you learn to live with, integrate, and eventually grow around.
If you’ve lost someone — a loved one, a relationship, a version of life you held close, you are not alone.
I offer grief counselling that holds space for all that your heart carries.
I understand grief not just through training, but through my own lived experience. I’ve sat in the silence after loss, felt the ache that words cannot reach, and walked the long, slow road of healing. This gives me not just empathy, but deep respect for how complex and personal your grief is.
In our work together, you’ll find a space to:
- Feel without needing to explain or justify
- Honour the depth of your loss without being rushed to “move on”
- Understand how grief impacts your nervous system and emotions
- Rebuild meaning and connection in a life that feels changed
- Access gentle, somatic tools to ground yourself when waves of emotion come
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in compassion. We move at your pace. There’s no timeline here — only a process that allows your grief to soften, evolve, and eventually make room for life again.
