Kendal Goosen

Hi, I’m Kendal, a certified Grief Recovery Method® Specialist offering online and in-person grief support from Johannesburg, South Africa. For decades, I carried unresolved grief without realising that’s what it was. At age 8, I lost my grandmother, a mother figure who helped raise me and was the heart of our family. Her death led to a deep family estrangement that shaped my childhood. In the years that followed, I developed disordered eating patterns as a way to cope with suppressed emotions and pain that I couldn’t name. I spent years trying to heal through self-help, therapy, plant medicine, and mindful tools. Finding the Grief Recovery Method® truly catapulted the healing and I experienced a deep shift. It gave me new tools to complete the emotional pain I had been carrying for years. Today, I help others do the same. I work with people grieving all types of loss: * Death * Divorce or relationship breakups * Family estrangement or loss of trust * Childhood trauma or emotionally unavailable parents * Loss of identity, purpose, or self * Disordered eating, addictions and other behaviour-related struggles * Pet loss * Grief from health issues, burnout, or major life changes I offer the following services: * 1:1 Grief Recovery Program * Grief Recovery Group Program * Helping Children with Loss (a 4-session educational series for adults) * Pet Loss Support I work with adults across South Africa and globally via Zoom. So if you’re navigating a death, the end of a relationship, a life change or behavioural struggles, you don’t have to navigate it alone. This work is not about forgetting what happened, but about completing what’s emotionally unfinished. I’d be honoured to walk that journey with you.
