Grief and Loss Counselling in Merville, BC.

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.

In my grief counselling practice, I specialize in guiding individuals through the intricate emotions that emerge following the loss of a loved one or a significant life change. No one person's journey through grief is identical and it's often not a linear path. I provide a secure and nurturing space where you can openly express your feelings, delve into memories, and address the challenges associated with grief. I am committed to fostering a compassionate and understanding environment, supporting you on your journey to healing and finding a path forward.

Grief has a way of pulling the ground out from underneath you, and my work is to help you find steady footing again. In our sessions, we look honestly at the pain, the confusion, the anger—nothing is off-limits and nothing is “too much.” I guide you toward uncovering the meaning hidden inside your heartbreak, helping you rebuild a life that feels true rather than numb. Clients often experience a shift from simply enduring their loss to discovering a renewed sense of identity, purpose, and personal strength.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Moving through times of grieving can often be complicated by feelings of isolation and loss and to navigate this I work with individuals to process the impact of the grief within different aspects of their lives. Part of this process involves examining assets within themselves that will foster strength and resilience that will be beneficial towards the process of moving ahead in their lives. Living with grief is a part of the grieving process and building on past successes and strengths speaks to continued wellness.
