GRIEF EDUCATION AND SUPPORT

You don’t have to grieve alone,

When the pain  becomes unbearable.

Grief Support

When the pain of grief becomes unbearable, it can feel like an endless storm, overwhelming your heart and leaving you lost in waves of sorrow. At Changing Tides, we understand this heavy burden and offer a compassionate lifeline through our either one-on-one conversations or support groups, where we come together to share, heal, and find solace. Guided by grief coaches, our sessions provide practical tools and a nurturing community to help you navigate the darkest moments, reminding you that you’re not alone and that hope can rise, even from the deepest pain.

Resources and guided practices. Tools, rituals, and reflection guides to support your grief process at your own pace.


All sessions are confidential and guided by our values of non-judgement, cultural humility, and open-hearted care.


You’re not expected to explain it all. Just start where you are.

Our Approach

 1. You reach out

Whether it’s through a call, email, or referral — the first step is simple connection. No pressure. Just presence.

2. We listen deeply

We’ll take time to hear your story, understand what you’re carrying, and explore what kind of support feels right. This is a conversation, not a diagnosis.

3. We walk together

Through one-on-one sessions, grief circles, or tailored education, we support you with practices and presence that meet you where you are.

4. We stay with the tide

Grief isn’t linear. We offer ongoing resources, seasonal gatherings and follow-up support.

Stories That Live On

“When I lost my dad, the pain felt unbearable—every day felt so heavy. I joined Changing Tides’ support group, unsure if it’d help, but the kind people made me feel safe. Sharing with others with similar stories, guided by the most caring coaches Jenny and Chris, really helped me breathe again. I’m still grieving, but I’m not alone anymore, and that’s given me hope.”

Emma 38, Ourimbah

Answers to Guide You

Who do you support?
Individuals,  Families and Community
Do I need to know what kind of support I want before reaching out? 
Not at all. Many people come to us unsure, overwhelmed, or simply tired. We’ll begin by listening — not fixing, not planning, just listening. From there, we can explore together what might feel most supportive.
Is this a therapy service?
 No — grief companioning is not therapy. It’s a different kind of relationship: one rooted in presence, witnessing, and walking alongside. We don’t analyse or pathologise your grief — we honour it.
What’s the First Step?
A free consultation to find the right option, with no pressure.

Pricing of our Services

Costs vary. We’re happy to discuss this personally.

Costs depend on care hours, location, and your unique needs. You’ll receive a clear, personalised quote after a consultation. You can begin with a free 15-minute call — just a simple, no-pressure conversation to meet and see what feels right. You’ll find the free consultation  link at the bottom of this page, or you can call or email us directly.
