At some point in our lifetimes, everybody is faced with grief and loss, children and youth included. When counseling my young clients, it is evident that children and youth have many questions and feelings surrounding this issue. They often feel scared, sad and alone. Talking to a therapist is a good way for clients to face their feelings and make sense of the situation. I help children normalize these feelings so that they know it is okay to feel sad, it is okay to have questions, and they are not alone. The pain may never go away but releasing the emotions and gaining some perspective and understanding, makes it easier to move forward a day at a time.

In today's society, we are expected to "suck it up and move on" in situations related to loss. However, grief has a mind of its own. It shows up when we least expect it and can linger a lot longer than we want. It comes back again and again, even when we thought we've dealt with it. . Time does heal, and therapy can help. Whether you have lost a loved one through death or a relationship ending, have gone through a difficult life transition or are grieving the loss of something else important to you, we'll help you heal grief in a supportive, non-judgmental & compassionate space. We're here when you're ready! www.kaleidoscopecounsellingco.com

Grief after pregnancy or infant loss is often invisible to the outside world, but its impact runs deep. As someone who has both experienced and supported others through this kind of heartbreak, I offer a space where your loss is acknowledged and your pain doesn’t have to be hidden. Clients often share that they feel deeply understood and less alone in our sessions. Together, we’ll gently explore your grief, honour what’s been lost, and find ways to move forward that hold space for both healing and remembrance - on your terms, in your time.

Loses happen in our life. The most common response to the significant loss is grief. We all have been there and not just once. Unfortunately, many of us were not prepared for the stress and sadness of loss and did ‘not know how to go through grieving, and what to do to cope with it. At the same time, the science of Psychology developed coping methods and tools that can provide relief and help you get back on your feet. It is not necessary to experience this alone, take the opportunity to come and learn the arsenal of tools under my guidance and support to begin the journey of recovery. We cannot eliminate loses from our life, but we can reduce its negative impact and promote healing.

Grieving is not something to overcome, rather to be respected. It is the careful and essential process toward healing; toward finding acceptance and understanding. It can’t be rushed, but it can be directed. Through compassion and therapeutic guidance, grief can do its work effectively. Profound changes in our lives can be daunting. Despite years of experience, I am humbled by those in grief. Grieving is complicated. The boundaries of pain reach beyond sadness, loss, and adjustment, often to unfinished business, guilt, and anger. It seems unimaginable, but with guidance, fragmented emotions can find balance again. Life will find its way.

Grief can be debilitating. It is one of those things that leaves us feeling out of control. Out of touch with ourselves and others, and even paralyzed. These feelings that we experience because of grief often push us to AVOID our grief. This is problematic in itself, however, as it only generates further emotional distress over time. Instead, finding comfortable and trustworthy support through the grieving process is a productive and healthy way to not only process the pain, but slowly find comfort and new ways of being and accepting.

Many people have ideas about how grief should look or feel based on expectations from family, society, or the media. There are so many experiences and events that deserve be mourned, whether society recognizes them or not, and your feelings about the loss are valid. Your experience of grief is unique to you and there is no correct way to process your loss, which is why I work collaboratively with clients to explore meaning in the thoughts and feelings that emerge as you begin your healing journey.

Each one of us experiences the process differently, and it is important to be aware of your needs on your journey of healing.

Grief and loss can affect every part of a person’s life, and each individual experiences it in their own way and at their own pace. In my work with clients, I often draw on the Tasks of Mourning approach developed by J. William Worden, which focuses on helping individuals process the reality of a loss, work through the pain of grief, adjust to life without their loved one, and find ways to maintain a meaningful connection while continuing to move forward. While this framework is helpful, I do not take a rigid or one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I adapt therapy to each client’s unique experience, providing a compassionate, supportive space where emotions can be expressed openly and withou

Grief is an intensely personal experience, and it is never the same for any two people; even two people grieving the same loss. Some abide by the commonly known Stages of Grief, while those stages are recognizable, I believe the process is not linear, and any stage can be experienced at any time. Completely accepting people wherever they are in the grieving process prevents the expectation of a grieving in a certain order. My approach is to show compassion, emphasize self-care, and to provide a safe place and plenty of opportunity for self-expression. The creation of memory/legacy pieces in the form of songs, poems, and/or visual arts is an option when appropriate.

Grief is experienced in unique ways and are often influenced by family background, culture and personal experiences, values, and core beliefs. While grief is often thought of a response to death, grief may also be a reaction to significant life-altering events of loss, such as a divorced, loss of a job, loss of property or income, which can lead to social withdrawal, anger and confusion. Shauna can help you cope with your responses to loss and traumatic change.

Grief and loss are normal, universal emotional experiences, but there is a tendency to get stuck in depression or anxiety rather than feel the sadness involved with loss. That’s understandable, because suffering is painful and difficult to bear alone. A therapist can support an individual with strategies for finding hope that a broken heart will mend. The aim is to build trust that, by allowing the expression of these feelings, the energy spent on suffering can be freed and reinvested back into creating a fulfilling life. As you do with a broken shoulder, you pay attention to the pain and attend to it in healthy ways while nature takes its course, allowing broken bones or hearts to heal.

Although grief is a universal human experience, the way that it affects us varies greatly. There is no one-size-fits-all way to grieve. I will tailor your therapy to your specific needs, in a way that balances honouring the one you lost, with your own healing and recovery. When the negative emotions of grief are felt and allowed to be experienced, they will often eventually subside. I assist clients with complex grief as well.

We all must deal with grief sometime in our lives. However, there are times we lose someone dear to us and it feels as if we will never see the sun again. Processing our loss through therapy helps to make that dark journey less difficult and in time blur the sharp painful edges of pain. During therspy we will look at and restructure negative debilitating thoughts and replacing them with more constructive and positive ones. We never fully get over the loss, but we learn how to celebrate and cherish our missed loved ones.

My approach to assisting with loss and grieving is to normalize the experience...loss of someone or something we love creates grief. Helping people learn how to best withstand and manage the emotions, the way loss can stop you in your tracks, and how to begin moving again is vital work. The bottom line is that, as long as you love, you grieve. We CAN learn to manage.

Using this lived experience, our therapists use empathy and evidence-based techniques to help clients process the trauma which comes from grief and loss. Yes, we will all lose someone at some point in life. But that doesn't mean that the pathway to healing is the same for all of us. Your healing journey should be as unique as you are, and this requires the kind of safe, caring therapeutic approach which we provide at Whiteboard.

After a loss, you look at life through a different lens; what came before and what came after. The mourning process is not linear and it's not all logical; it's a deep felt sense of something missing. Being able to talk about and process our grief with an other in therapy helps us not feel so alone in it. We are offered a place to talk about the person (or pet) in a way that keeps their memory alive.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

Grief and loss touch every part of life, and I believe the healing process begins with having a safe, compassionate space to express and process the full range of emotions that come with loss. In grief therapy, I gently guide clients through understanding and honoring their unique experience, whether it involves the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other life-altering changes. Together, we work to process painful emotions, explore meaning, and find ways to integrate the loss into life while nurturing resilience and hope. My approach blends evidence-based tools with deep empathy, helping clients move toward a renewed sense of connection, balance, and purpose at their own pa
