Are you weathering any of these storms right now?
- The tragic loss of a loved one (e.g. overdose, suicide)
- Health challenges (e.g. cancer, dementia, MND)
- Relationship wounds (e.g. betrayal or estrangement)
- Feeling disconnected with your child, or your own voice
I shouldn't need help with any of this.
I should be able to process this on my own. And yet...
Feeling grief from loss is more complex to navigate than just 'accept it and move on'.
We all need a little support navigating it.

What's different about me?
Hi, I’m Santou. My passion and calling to serve and help people with trauma, anxiety, loss & grief began 25 years ago. As an experienced grief counsellor, coach, educator and international speaker, I can help steer you through the transitional stages of your life’s journey from loss to re-connection, so you can live a full and joyful life.
I do this using a unique multi-disciplinary approach bridging psychotherapy, cultural knowledge, spirituality, theology and research.
No matter your faith, religious denomination, or cultural beliefs, my approach is all-inclusive. I welcome those who might have become disillusioned with, or still attend, their faith community or who consider themselves an atheist.

I would definitely recommend Santou who has a wealth of understanding and knowledge in supporting those of us who have experienced loss, trauma or grief. She is non-judgemental and has shown me warmth, acceptance and empathy. She has provided emotional and practical support and helped me to become more self-aware and not give up hope. The incredible support I have received has helped me feel I am not alone, and I am truly grateful for and will always appreciate her care, attention and patience with me.
