Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, angry, lonely, guilty, relieved, isolated, confused, or numbed out? Loss and grief is most often associated with loss of life, but it can also be central to the presenting problems and underlying issues that are brought into my counselling office by most of my clients. Death, divorce, relocation, immigration, job loss, relationship breakdowns...these are all losses that we need to work through. Talking about your loss and processing your feelings is a good place to start.

Grief and loss impacts all of us differently, and it can be hard to navigate on your own. Let's work together so that you feel supported through this challenging life experience. My counselling approach will give you the space you need to explore, process and understand your grief, and when appropriate, understand the tools you can use to integrate this experience into your life and move forward.

Finding out you have ADHD as an adult can bring up feelings of grief, frustration, or even sadness about the challenges you’ve faced, the opportunities you may have missed, or the ways you’ve struggled to keep up. In therapy, I take a strength-based, affirming approach to help you process these emotions and understand how they relate to your ADHD. Together, we’ll explore coping strategies, build self-compassion, and reframe your experiences, helping you move toward acceptance, self-trust, and a clearer sense of hope for your future.

Grief and loss are a part of all of our lives. If you are experiencing grief and loss then often it is helpful to speak in confidence to a professional who is empathetic and understands the grieving process. There are many ways we can be affected by grief including loss due to death, marriages ending, relationships, jobs, or friends. Benefits of seeking counselling at these times can be to identify and better understand our feelings, to express our grief in a safe place with a compassionate listener who is free from judgement and to explore ideas of the best ways for you to move forwards.

If you have lost someone, I offer a compassionate and supportive space to explore your unique experience of loss. Listening carefully to your story, there's an opportunity to identify and honour your feelings, your memories and your relationship. Through gentle conversation and questions, there's a chance to rewrite your grief story, discover strengths, attend to resilience and find meaning amidst your pain. You can begin to acknowledge what you've been through while promoting healing, growth, a continued bond with the one who has passed and learning to live with loss

Grief and loss is a process over time of getting to a place of acceptance. We may experience anger, fear, sadness, disbelief from day to day, even moment to moment. We need however, to live our life to its fullest, otherwise we then, are not really living. I use a combination of therapeutic modalities and tools to help facilitate the process of grief, and move the survivor to a place of healing and acceptance.

Grief is not something to 'get over' but with care and presence, it can be carried differently. You don't have to face it alone. Healing begins with being heard
