Grief and Loss Counselling in Tofino, BC.

In grief and loss counseling, I create a flexible space that adapts to your needs. Whether you need patient listening or feel stuck and need guidance through open-ended questions, I meet you where you are. I'm genuinely curious about understanding you as a whole person and your unique loss—there's no shallow or rushed approach here, no platitudes or quick fixes. Something resourceful I offer is a therapeutic goodbye letter adapted from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's work, helping you express complex, contradictory emotions—what you regret and don't regret, miss and don't miss. What makes this different is it honors the fullness of ambivalent feelings. Clients report feeling truly heard, not judged or rushed, as they move forward in their own time.

We provide a compassionate and supportive space for clients to process the emotional impact of loss in their own way and at their own pace. We understand that grief can affect thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily functioning in complex and unexpected ways. Our approach is client-centered and evidence-informed, focusing on meaning-making, emotional processing, and adjustment. Clients often benefit from reduced emotional distress, greater acceptance, and a renewed sense of connection to life.
