Grief and Loss Counselling in Magnetawan, ON.

Grief is primarily associated with the death of a loved one, whilst this is certainly true the term grief can be used more widely to capture any significant loss experienced in life. I work with clients to help them acknowledge the loss they have experienced and explore the emotional impact it has had and how this will shape their lives as they seek to move forwards and live their own lives.

The people who have touched our lives, family members, and special friends (pets) we love are important to us. When anything risks those we love, we also feel distressed. Our deep connection to them means we experience this incredible emptiness when they die. Though we know that death is normal, natural, and inevitable, this knowledge does not eliminate the emotional pain of our loss. Through my losses and the losses of others, I have learned that life is over, but it is never finished. If you are experiencing a recent loss of a family member, friend, or special friend, I am available to journey with you through this loss. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Your experiences of grief and loss are unique. Therapy can provide a safe space to learn about grief and what to expect during this process. It may be helpful to explore some of the emotions you are experiencing, while understanding how to stay connected to others and develop a new relationship to and understanding of the loss you have endured.

As someone who has experienced loss and studied loss, I understand how unique and different everyone's experience with it is. Grief can be one of the most complex and complicated of human experiences and can occur with or without a tangible loss. Using a person centered and strengths based foundation, I will hold space with you and aid you in navigating these complex feelings at your own pace.

In my approach to Grief & Loss Therapy, I aim to create a safe and empathetic space for clients to explore their emotions, process their grief, and navigate the complexities of loss. Drawing from psychodynamic principles, I help clients uncover and understand the underlying emotions, thoughts, and patterns that may be hindering their healing process. Through emotion-focused techniques, I assist clients in expressing and regulating their feelings related to the loss, allowing for catharsis and emotional growth.

In my work helping clients process grief and loss, I strive to go at a pace that feels right for you. It can be hard to know how to get through a loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a meaningful opportunity. We can figure out what works best for you, whatever stage of grief you might be in. I welcome the opportunity to sit with you as you process this deeply unique experience. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Individual therapy is focused on your unique needs and goals. Individual therapy includes learning about your history and life experiences then establishing goals to accomplish in counselling. Our histories are the roots that provide us with a foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories can also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt. It is our belief that the best therapy comes from helping to heal the roots that cause those stuck points. Through this we can create lasting change.
