We work with children, adolescents and adults across Milperra, Oran Park and Narellan. You do not need a referral to book, and Medicare rebates may be available with a Mental Health Care Plan.
Understanding Grief and Loss
Grief is the natural response to loss, and it can affect us in many different ways. Emotionally, you may experience sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety or numbness. Physically, grief can show up as fatigue, sleep difficulties, changes in appetite or a general sense of heaviness. Cognitively, you may find it hard to concentrate, make decisions or think clearly.
Everyone grieves differently. Some people find comfort in talking openly about their experience, while others prefer to process things privately. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and there is no set timeline. What matters is that you have the support you need to move through it.
Grief can also arise from losses that are not always recognised by others, including job loss, infertility, the end of a friendship, or the loss of a sense of identity or purpose. Our psychologists understand that all loss is valid, regardless of its form.
How Psychologists Support Grief and Loss
At RWPsychology, treatment for grief and loss is always tailored to your individual experience and needs. Your psychologist will take time to understand your situation before recommending an approach. There is no pressure to move faster than you are ready to.
Evidence-based approaches that may be used include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which can help identify and gently shift unhelpful thought patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Complicated grief treatment focuses on helping you re-engage with life and relationships while still honouring your loss. Meaning reconstruction approaches can also be helpful, supporting you to find a sense of purpose and continuity after loss.
Where grief is affecting family relationships, your psychologist may also work on communication and connection within the family unit, which can be particularly helpful when families are grieving together but processing things differently.
