Grief and Loss Counselling in Owen Sound, ON.

Grief and Loss happen at any stage and any age. In counselling, we honour your feelings and stages of grief, as well as moving on to embrace a new life without your loved one. Grief is a common experience for any loss and we look at it as such. Grief is not only death, but loss of relationship, loss of job, loss of any other important figure or event in your life. We look at how you can transition into a new way of being without that which you have lost.

I will provide guidance, validation, and support but this journey is yours so I will check in with you regularly to ensure that your needs are being met.
