Change and loss are not always about death. Significant life transitions such as chronic illness or injury, divorce or separation, job loss, or moving away from your home or culture are often accompanied by profound grief.

Specialised Grief Counselling

“The diagnosis of a terminal or life-altering illness or injury sends ripples through every aspect of your life.”

At The Beach Haven, we offer compassionate support for individuals and families navigating the profound emotional and psychological challenges that accompany a major health crisis.

Receiving a serious diagnosis or experiencing a life-changing injury can trigger a complex grieving process for what has been lost and what is to come. It often brings a mix of fear, anger, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief. This journey can feel incredibly isolating for both the person who is ill and their loved ones.

Our experienced counsellors are here to support you as you:

  • Process the emotional impact of your diagnosis or injury.
  • Navigate feelings of grief, fear, and loss of control.
  • Develop strategies for managing stress and communicating with loved ones.
  • Explore ways to find meaning, hope, and quality of life amidst the challenges.

We provide steady, empathetic support as you adjust to your new reality. We are here to help you and your family cope with the journey ahead with strength and dignity.

Grief and Loss Counselling

The end of a significant relationship through divorce, separation, or a break-up is a form of loss that can be profoundly painful and disorienting. At The Beach Haven, we recognize the deep grief that accompanies these life changes and offer compassionate support to help you navigate this difficult transition.

The dissolution of a partnership often involves grieving the future you envisioned and mourning the loss of a shared life and identity. This process can bring up a storm of emotions, including sadness, anger, confusion, and loneliness, leaving you feeling lost and unsure of how to move forward.

Our experienced counsellors are here to support you as you:

  • Process the complex emotions tied to the end of your relationship.
  • Navigate the challenges of co-parenting or redefining family structures.
  • Begin to rediscover your own identity outside of the partnership.
  • Build resilience and find hope for a new and fulfilling future.

At The Beach Haven, we provide a safe and supportive space to heal from the pain of your separation. We are here to help you find your footing and step confidently into your next chapter.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.” – Rumi

Grief and Loss Counselling

“The loss of a job, whether through redundancy, a career change, or unexpected termination, is a significant life event that often brings a hidden form of grief.

At The Beach Haven, we understand that losing a job is more than just losing an income; it’s a loss of routine, identity, and security. We offer professional support to help you navigate this uncertain time.

A job is often deeply connected to our sense of purpose and self-worth. When it’s gone, it’s common to feel a mix of shock, anger, anxiety, and a loss of confidence. This transition can feel isolating and destabilising, as you face the practical stress of unemployment while also grieving the professional life you once had.

Our experienced counsellors are here to support you as you:

  • Process the shock and grief associated with your job loss.
  • Address feelings of failure, anxiety, and diminished self-worth.
  • Rebuild confidence and explore a new sense of purpose and identity.
  • Develop strategies to manage stress and navigate your career transition with hope.

At The Beach Haven, we provide a constructive and supportive environment to help you process this loss. We are here to help you regain your footing and move forward with renewed confidence and direction.

Grief and Loss Counselling

Relocating, especially internationally, can be an exciting adventure, but it also brings a significant and often overlooked sense of loss.

At The Beach Haven, we understand that moving away from your home means leaving behind a familiar culture, community, and sense of belonging. We offer dedicated support for the complex grief associated with relocation.

The process of uprooting your life can lead to feelings of isolation, disorientation, and a profound longing for what was left behind. Adjusting to a new culture, language, and social landscape while mourning the loss of your support network and cultural identity is a challenging emotional journey.

Our experienced counsellors are here to support you as you:

  • Acknowledge and process the grief of losing your home, community, and cultural familiarity.
  • Navigate the feelings of loneliness and isolation that can come with being an outsider.
  • Address the challenges of culture shock and identity confusion.
  • Develop strategies to adapt to your new environment while finding a sense of belonging.

At The Beach Haven, we provide a safe place to explore these complex feelings. We are here to help you honour your past while embracing your new life with confidence and a renewed sense of self.
