If you’re unsure who to choose, you’re very welcome to send a general enquiry and we can help guide you.

To get started, please answer the following questions.

Q1: Has it been at least several months since your loved one passed away?

Yes

✓

This sounds appropriate to explore further.

Having some time between the death and the therapy process can help create enough space for IADC to be approached gently and safely.

It may be better to allow more time first.

In the earlier stages of grief, additional support or more time may be more helpful before considering IADC.

Q2: Have you experienced recent or ongoing thoughts of suicide or self-harm?

Yes

A more supported approach may be needed first.

Thank you for sharing this. IADC may not be the right fit at this time, and more ongoing or supported care may be more appropriate first.

✓

This may be appropriate to explore further.

Your response suggests that IADC may be suitable to consider as a next step.

Q3 Do you feel able to connect with and experience your feelings of grief during a session?

Yes

✓

This can support the therapy process.

Being able to gently connect with feelings of grief can help the process work more effectively.

That is completely okay.

It may be more helpful to build safety and support around these feelings first before considering IADC.

Q4 Is grief related to the loss your main reason for seeking support?

Yes

✓

This aligns well with the approach.

IADC is specifically intended to support grief and bereavement, so this may be a suitable fit to explore.

Another kind of support may be more helpful first.

If other concerns are more central right now, it may be best to focus on those with the right therapeutic support before considering IADC.

Q5 Are you comfortable with the structure of IADC sessions?

Yes

✓

That sounds like a good fit.

Your response suggests you are comfortable with how IADC is structured and offered.

You are welcome to ask questions first.

If anything about the structure feels unclear or not quite right, you are very welcome to enquire before making a decision.
