Before The Date: Anniversary and Milestone Support for Grief and Trauma.

As a Trauma and Grief Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I've sat with hundreds of clients navigating the ripple effects of trauma and grief in their lives. One thing has become universal, key milestone dates and anniversaries carry their own particular weight.

They can bring anticipatory grief, guilt and confusion in the lead-up. You might feel unsure what to do, or what not to do, whether to tell a friend, mark the day, let it pass unacknowledged, or find your own way to honour it. These questions, and the feelings underneath them, can sit heavily on your mind and heart.

Before The Date was created for exactly this. A dedicated anniversary support session for grief and trauma anniversaries, diagnosis dates, separation and divorce dates, and other significant milestones.

What's Included

  • A 90-minute anniversary support session with me, in person in Engadine, ideally booked 2–4 weeks before your date or significant event.

  • Space to explore what this date means to you, anticipate what might come up, and think through how you'd like to move through it. Gain clarity on what feels right for you, not what's expected of you, and off-load some of the thoughts and feelings around this significant date or milestone.

  • Voxer support on the day itself, if you decide this is helpful, so you have somewhere to check in and reflect when it matters most.

Who This Is For
This grief and trauma anniversary session is for clients who've finished ongoing therapy and would like tailored support around a specific significant date. It's equally suited to new clients who don't feel they want or need ongoing counselling, but would value specific, focused support for the exact times that feel hardest.

Whether it's the anniversary of a death, a diagnosis, an accident, an assault, an upcoming court date for separation or divorce, the day a divorce is finalised, or any other date that shifted the course of your life, Before The Date can be booked as a one-off session or repeated each year the date comes around.
