Grief and loss are significant life experiences that can be difficult to manage. I have heard from many that sometimes it seems like the extreme sadness will not leave them. I work with such clients to try and make space in their life to experience positive emotions along with the sadness. Grief is very individual and some clients desire help to "move past the grief", while others do not agree with this. I work to meet clients where they are, to optimize their day to day life experiences according to their own individual hopes. In addition, I help clients to find meaning in their experience of grief and loss, honour the life of their lost loved one, and manage the related difficult emotions.

Grief and loss counselling is, at its heart, about creating a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay.

Matt offers a place to gently unpack all of that without pretense or expectation of pace. Grief is deeply personal, and it does not follow a timeline or a tidy sequence of stages.

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.

Grief is a personal experience and there's no right way to navigate it. I provide a compassionate space to process it at your own pace and help you make sense of difficult emotions.

We'll work to find ways to honour the memories you have while moving towards healing.

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. To live is to grieve: whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the quiet grief that comes with life transitions, how we position ourselves with regards to our loses greatly determines how we adapt, grow and flow with the act of living. I help clients process loss in a way that honours the existential and spiritual complexity of their processes. Together, we create space to grieve, reflect, and gradually reconnect with life.
