Grief Councelling, Does anywhere do?

[bluweyze]

I am looking to try to find grief councelling for someone. I would appreciate any details if known. Please don't bother to tell me you think it is a waste of time, the person does not think so.

You could start at the psychiatric hospital.

 

Does anywhere do?

No, bad counseling would be harmful.

Quite right.

That would be Suan Prung Hospital.

The best known and most popular psychiatrist is Dr. Kittiwan Thiamkaew.

She is on the staff at Suan Prung and also has her own clinic located at Samlan Rd., Phra Sing, Chiang Mai.

You don't need a psychiatrist for grief counselling,  it's mostly about letting the person vent with support

Time and talking with a person who can comprehend the loss can help.  Also, you can Google for how to handle grief.  I think that there are five stages one usually goes through in dealing with loss. It would be good to know them.  Getting caught up in excessive rumination can lead to depression.  Soundtrue.com might be a good resource.  Good luck.

I live in Phuket and am a qualified (Australia) and 30 year experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. If your friend needs counselling support through their grief process I am able, qualified, and willing to help.

Nonsense.

Health care professionals with academic credentials are always preferable to folk practicioners.

As if the local shaman could perform neurosurgery.

Local churches.

So wonderful to see such faith in the modern academic and their abilities.  Afterall they are responsible for creating the environmental crisis and the great economic inequalities and so many other fantastic things.  Now you may not consider those to be "Health care" but think again.

Thank you for the responses. I will discuss with the family members and see what they think.

There can be many levels to grief and many different responses. The first thing to ascertain is how seriously the person is affected. In other words are they currently safe.

If the level of grief is such that the person feels ‘unsafe’ or that people close to them believe the person is unsafe then immediate psychiatric help should be sought.
