Grief and Loss Counselling in Owen Sound, ON.

Difficulty with grief and loss can be aided with counselling. Our therapists help unpack the difficult emotions and events that make grieving complicated. There is no time limit to grief or loss, and no way to limit this process to humans only. Loss of employment, pets, important places, and relationships can all result in a grieving process. We can help.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

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. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

The experience of loss may result from many life experiences including the passing of a human loved one or a beloved pet, the ending of a relationship, job loss, or changes to our physical or mental capabilities. Grief is one of the most challenging of human emotions. Together, we will navigate your unique grieving process to enable you to experience growth and empower you to create a life you can accept and enjoy despite your loss.

Any significant loss rather it be through death, divorce, loss of employment, loss of a dream, expectation, etc. creates a form of grief. All categories mentioned of course have their own particular dynamic. However, the result is the same and that is grief. In order to function to the best of a person’s capabilities and potential they must make sure that the grief has been resolved satisfactorily since unresolved grief can infect any and all present and future goals that an individual may hold for themselves. The most significant loss is that where grief has produced an inner “self conscious coma”. It seems that “the self” gets lost in grief and the “sense of self” has to be found and re-establ....

We all grieve differently; there is no right or wrong way to grieve. It is a uniquely personal experience. My therapeutic approach is to meet my clients where they are and address their current needs. That may be sitting in a safe space and expressing your emotions, talking about how life will be different after the loss or focusing on self-care. 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. Please contact me if you would like to book a free consultation.

In my practice you will find a safe place to talk about and work through pain, and the feelings of sadness, confusion, guilt, shame and anger that often accompany the experience of grief and loss. Moving through grief and loss is your personal journey that takes time and is experienced uniquely from your own perspective. I provide therapy, counselling and and support for people who have lost a loved one such as a family member, friend or colleague whether through death or the ending of a relationship, those who have lost an important pet or animal companion or people who have experienced a loss that includes a loss of a job or personal identity.

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.
