Grief and Loss Counselling in Bradford, ON.

Grief and loss are significant life experiences that can be difficult to manage. I have heard from many that sometimes it seems like the extreme sadness will not leave them. I work with such clients to try and make space in their life to experience positive emotions along with the sadness. Grief is very individual and some clients desire help to "move past the grief", while others do not agree with this. I work to meet clients where they are, to optimize their day to day life experiences according to their own individual hopes. In addition, I help clients to find meaning in their experience of grief and loss, honour the life of their lost loved one, and manage the related difficult emotions.

I offer a compassionate space where the weight of sorrow can be acknowledged without judgment. I gently support clients in exploring how loss affects their emotional, physical, and relational worlds, and I help them navigate the complex waves that often arise. With steady presence and an emphasis on emotional safety, I guide clients toward integrating their grief rather than feeling pressured to “move past” it. Over time, this process allows meaning, connection, and self-compassion to naturally re-emerge, supporting healing at a pace that feels right.

However, we experience grief and loss in our daily lives, whether we lose a job, a relationship, a friend, a house, etc. Learning to cope with the grief and loss in our lives is important to living a healthy life.

First, my condolences... The death of a loved one or the loss of a significant relationship is the most stressful event we can experience. I can offer you practical support and strategies to cope with your loss as well as to establish new meaning. I also provide therapeutic support for those who anticipate the loss of a loved one during at end of life care as well as helping prepare individuals with their end of life transition.
