Ms Annette Tavitian

Professional Counselor

“Compassionate counsellor working with grief, loss and bereavement. Also specialising in narcissistic abuse recovery for those who have dealt with a narcissist.”

About Me

As a compassionate counsellor, I offer dedicated support for those navigating the profound pain of grief, loss, and bereavement. I also specialise in helping individuals heal from the unique challenges of narcissistic abuse. Our sessions can be a place where you gently explore your experiences and feelings, working towards rebuilding your sense of self. My aim is to help you find understanding and a clear path towards healing, ensuring you feel truly heard.

Approach

When we explore grief or the aftermath of a controlling relationship, I focus on creating a steady, paced space where you set the tempo. Sessions—available in West Gosford or online in English—move between reflective listening, practical boundary-building and small experiments to notice shifts between meetings. I use gentle pacing, regular check-ins and collaborative goal-setting so progress feels manageable and safety is gradually restored. This approach often suits people seeking practical, compassionate support through big transitions.
