Grief & Loss Counselling Training 

Why This Training?

Grief touches every client eventually, yet most therapy programs skim over it. Our psychologist‑designed course demystifies grief—from biology to social context—then equips you with companioning skills you can use the very next day.

• Evidence‑based content backed by Bowlby, Kübler‑Ross, Worden, Stroebe & Schut and more.
• Live, interactive sessions every Friday morning (recordings provided).
• Role‑plays, case studies & rituals that translate theory into practice.
• Self‑care frameworks so you can keep showing up for clients and yourself.
