Via Method Reflection Tool
Where Do I Begin?
Take a moment to notice where you are now and discover which Via Method pathway may be the most supportive place to begin.
This reflection is completed in two parts, with short sections along the way. There are no right or wrong answers — simply choose the response that feels closest to your experience right now.
Answer for where you are now, rather than where you think you should be.
The purpose
Loss can change more than how you feel. It can affect your body, relationships, sense of safety, identity, meaning and the way you imagine your future.
You may need support to feel steadier. You may be wondering "Who am I now?" Or you may be trying to understand how to live within a life that has changed.
This reflection helps you see where you are now, what may need attention, and where your Via Method journey might begin.
What you'll explore
The reflection moves through two parts. Each part contains six areas, so you can see clearly what you will be reflecting on before you begin.
Your Via Landscape
Explores what may need support in your experience right now.
Your Identity Map
Explores how loss or change may be shaping your sense of self and the life ahead.
The process
Respond to each statement on a scale from 0 to 3, based on what feels most true for you right now.
Your responses will create two personalised reflections:
- Your Via LandscapeA picture of where grief and change may be affecting different areas of your life.
- Your Identity MapA reflection of how your experience may be affecting your sense of self, meaning, direction and the life you now find yourself in.
Together, these help guide you towards the Via Method pathway that may be most supportive for you.
