Grief and Loss Counselling in Stoney Creek, ON.

I'll never forget the phone call. I was 23, driving home on a beautiful sunny day. I couldn't believe it when I heard my dad was gone. Grief floors you. If you haven't felt it, it's not something that you can fully understand. It can feel overwhelming, hopeless, never-ending. But there are ways forward. No matter how large your loss, you can do it. I've been there, and I've helped dozens of other people over the past seven years deal with the unthinkable. I provide compassionate, effective counselling for grief and loss based on what actually works in the real world. You're not alone - contact me today for a complimentary phone consultation. You can get through it. I can help.

We all grieve differently; there is no right or wrong way to grieve. It is a uniquely personal experience. My therapeutic approach is to meet my clients where they are and address their current needs. That may be sitting in a safe space and expressing your emotions, talking about how life will be different after the loss or focusing on self-care. I will provide guidance, validation, and support but this journey is yours so I will check in with you regularly to ensure that your needs are being met. Please contact me if you would like to book a free consultation.

I welcome the opportunity to sit with you as you process this deeply unique experience. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Processing loss is painful, confusing and often isolating. This is not something that is as simple as progressing through "stages" in order and typically involves emotions that we have been taught to avoid or suppress. Working with a therapist to unpack and go through grief and loss can offer some space and perspective that is not there when we talk with friends and family. Here you can have a non-judgmental space to take the time to work this out in the way that you need. This is not always easy, but we can navigate this together.

Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult experiences we go through as human beings. You do not need to go through this alone. Reach out today to learn about how we can assist you in navigating the waters of this painful experience. At CBT Solutions you will be welcomed with respect, compassion, and understanding for what you are going through.

After loosing someone close to you it is often hard to find emotional balance. Therapy can provide you with a safe space to process your loss and the difficult emotions that often follow. Feeling sad, lonely, angry, and confused are all normal and healthy emotions to experience during this time. Working with a therapist can help you through these tough emotions as well as how to feel normal and happy again.

To provide the psychoeducation with the process and stages of grief and loss: Depression, Denial, Bargaining, Anger, and Acceptance. To provide talk therapy and allow the client to express themselves, however, also incorporate some SFBT and use positive psychology language. To also emphasize that grief has no timeline and certain life events can be a trigger such as brithdays, holidays, or other occasions.
