Grief Counselling with Chantal

Grief Counselling with Chantal Grief & Trauma Counsellor
Supporting women through grief, trauma and life's transitions. Online worldwide | Perth, Western Australia

When I was at the worst of my grief, I found it so hard to find the words. Luckily, I had an art practice and was able to dive in. When you book a session, you don't have to talk if it's too hard. We can start with doodles, marks on paper, or even traces of colour. Art has that ability to connect us to our emotions and I wouldn't be surprised if you found yourself creating something powerful, even

if you have never seen yourself as an artist. The point is not for it to be pretty. It's to express what you cannot say with words. When the time is right, we can then move to more traditional speaking therapy. But also, we can go back and forth, depending on how you feel. One thing I do, which most other counsellors don't, is that I also create an energetic space where you are supported by angels so the whole process feels extra safe. And unlike spiritual counsellors, I have a solid training and undergo regular supervision. And if that wasn't enough, I can bring my aromatherapy knowledge into sessions as I know how powerful scents can be for both healing and bringing memories. You can choose what you like in what I offer. I never push anything on anyone. Gentleness, compassion, and absence of judgment are part of my core values. There are other modalities that I practice that are not listed here so feel free to ask. I am here to walk alongside you.

Grief changes our lives irrevocably.

Whether that is through death or loss.

I had no idea that when my mother died last year and sitting with her during the 7-day process that I would be going down the path that I am.

Who am I? Where do I go from here?

It is about finding purpose and meaning again in life.

This is mine.

Supporting you before, during, and after death or loss.

I attended my first ever Death Cafe yesterday.

What an incredible experience.

Thank you, Caroline, from Walking Beside You, for organising this. I was lovely to meet Nola, a funeral celebrant full of so much information, love, and kindness, and Alaina from Outback Memorials.

All incredible people. There was plenty of laughter and a few tears from me.

My beautiful souls.

I’m currently building my email list for my grief counselling practice, and I would like to have your thoughts.

If you chose to be on a grief counsellor’s email list, what would you actually like to receive?

Not what you think you should receive. What would genuinely be useful, interesting or supportive enough that you’d want to open the email?

And just as importantly, what would you NOT want to receive?

What would make you think, “Yes, I’d actually open that”?

A beautiful day to be out and about in the fresh air after rain and cold mornings.

Nature knows how to hold space for you. To life your spirits. To welcome you with open arms.

It is important to play.

To step out of the intensity of your emotions.

Do something you love. Be present. Enjoy for those moments.

My play for today. A lovely reprieve.

After years of not feeling safe, who am I now that I do?

In my latest Substack article, I share how wonderful it is to be meeting myself at the age of 63 and discovering things about myself that perhaps were always there. And are now coming to the fore.

Without justification!

When a book lands in your hands 40 years apart.

Coincidence or timing?

Jonathon Livingstone Seagull. (Richard Bach)

As a young one, I wouldn't have understood the meaning behind this simple, yet beautiful and compelling story.

I am now.

What can I do with what I know?

I can stand by others while they also discover themselves and what is possible in their lives after grief and trauma.

During my healing, I looked backwards to understand now. To start living in my life as it is now.

Now, I am ready to fully live and be in life.

I am flying into life. Not away from life.

Sometimes all you want to is hug a teddy bear.

I was gifted this one from Bare Funerals & Cremations at the Dying to know day.

When Mum died i would lie on my bed and hug her teddy she had hugged for years in times of distress.

Age doesn't come into it.

We all want and need comfort from time to time.

Bare, the Teddy bear, sits on my counselling chair waiting to be hugged. Even by me. 🐻
