Therapy For Adults With Grief And Loss.

We help adults navigate grief, process loss and find ways to move forward while honouring what matters most.

Understanding Grief.

Grief often comes in waves and can look different for each person. Common experiences may include:

Intense sadness, emptiness or longing
Anger, guilt or regret about the past
Numbness or difficulty feeling connected
Changes in appetite, energy or sleep
Withdrawing from friends, work or activities
Struggling to adjust to life after the loss

Grief isn’t something to “get over.” It’s a process of learning to live alongside loss while finding meaning and new ways forward. Therapy provides space to process feelings safely and develop strategies for coping.

Your Questions, Answered.

Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something deeply important. It can affect emotions, thoughts, and even physical health. Many adults wonder what’s “normal,” how long grief lasts, and when extra support may help. At Unbound Minds, we provide a compassionate space to process loss in ways that respect your experience.

How does Unbound Minds support adults through grief and loss?

We offer a safe environment to talk openly about your loss without judgement or pressure. Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches to help you understand and express emotions, cope with the practical impact of loss, and gradually adjust to life changes.

Do you try to take grief away?

No. Grief is a natural process, and our goal is not to remove it but to support you in moving through it in your own way. Therapy helps you find ways to manage overwhelming feelings, honour your loss, and rebuild a sense of stability.

How long does grief normally last?

There is no set timeframe. Grief looks different for everyone and can shift in intensity over time. What matters is whether the grief feels manageable or whether it is making daily life too difficult, in which case extra support may help.

What can I expect in therapy for grief and loss?

Sessions are collaborative and gentle. You set the pace, and we focus on what feels most important to you. This might include exploring memories, coping with difficult anniversaries, or finding ways to reconnect with meaning and routine.

Can therapy help even if the loss happened years ago?

Yes. Sometimes grief resurfaces later, or it may never have been fully processed. Therapy can provide space to revisit and make sense of unresolved feelings, no matter how much time has passed.
