Grief and Loss Counselling in Huron East, ON.

I draw on personal experience and training to help my clients make meaning of their loss. Grief is a journey that takes time and work but with support and encouragement, there can be hope for a better day ahead. Grief counselling is very individualized in that there is no correct way to grief. I also specialize in different types of loss which may include death of pet, loss of job, loss of independence (i.e., elderly or loss of motor skills resulting from an accident).

At some point in life, everyone will experience grief and loss. Grief is a normal response to a final disconnection from something or someone important to us. While grief is a common human experience, we will all experience loss in very different ways. It may occur following the loss of a pet, job, relationship, or loved one. Together, we will explore your grief to develop an understanding of what your loss means to you, and how it has impacted you. Together, we will explore how you can effectively experience and express your grief in a way that makes sense for you - there are no rules or timelines when it comes to grief.

It is hard to know where to begin when processing the loss of a loved one, an opportunity or even a chapter of our lives. In my work with clients experiencing grief and loss, each path to healing is unique. Throughout sessions, I check in with you often, ensuring we are exploring at a pace most appropriate for you. We will make space for whatever may arise, knowing that there are many ways to grieve, and yours is valid. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

As loss may be best described as the absence of something valuable, grief is the reaction to this absence. It permeates every area of our lives. The way we experience grief is personal and changes as we adapt to the loss. Feelings of guilt, disbelief, anger, yearning, and sorrow are often present. Going through the stages of grief is difficult. Together, we will explore the healing journey ensuring you are self-companionate while honouring the one’s you have lost and to explore and understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are integrated into your bereavement process. Schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

It hurts so much. Some may tell you to hide the feelings, bury it and move on. Not me. While its about moving on, sometimes to do that, takes a safe place to process, to talk, to cry, but to make sense of it, and make the decision yourself to move forward. I can help you with the process, and help you through each stage as it happens for you. You deserve the support and understanding.
