Grief

Change and loss are natural parts of life that affect everyone at some point. Grief is a common response to loss, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a meaningful relationship, or other non-death related experiences such as changes in health, identity, or life circumstances. Grief can touch many aspects of our lives—our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, beliefs, health, and relationships. How we cope with loss can vary greatly, and the experience of grief may look different for each individual.

While many people find comfort and adjustment through the support of family and friends, some may find themselves needing additional support when navigating their grief. This is a normal part of the process, and psychological therapy can provide a helpful space for reflection and understanding.

At Open Horizons Psychology, we recognise that every individual’s experience of loss is unique and deeply personal. Whether the loss is related to death or another significant life change, we create a supportive environment where people can explore their feelings and make sense of their emotions. With our understanding of the grieving process, we offer tailored support to help individuals navigate their journey in a way that respects their unique needs and experiences.
