General
The death of a loved one has a deep effect on one's life and that of the family. The journey can be a difficult, lonely and confusing one. Contact Maureen Conway to help you through the stages of grief and to help you understand how you can learn to live alongside the pain and to reintegrate your life so you can find meaning and hope once again. You don't have to do it alone.
Trauma can happen at any time and it doesn't have to be a major life crisis (e.g. robbery, abuse, etc.) that sparks the need for counselling. It may just be the pressure of life and you are in need of some guidance to get you through the storm. Carrying the burden can result in depression, sleeplessness, hopelessness, anxiety or fear, headaches and anger. Make an appointment with Maureen, don't carry the burden alone.
Anxiety is useful to spur us on to try harder in areas of our lives, but when it becomes out of our control, or life just feels out of kilter and you can't see why, the joy of life is depleted. You may just need to chat it out with someone who will listen, without prejudice, and get to the root of the problem. Contact Maureen for an appointment and get back to living.
