Grief and Loss Counselling in Schomberg, ON.

Grief looks different for everyone, but that doesn't mean you need to deal with it on your own. Grief comes in many forms, and extends far beyond the loss of loved ones. In grief counselling, your feelings will have a space to be heard and validated, and we will explore tools for managing challenging emotions, honouring what you've lost, and moving forward in whatever way feels best for you.

Our team has an extremely sensitive and compassionate approach that allows individuals, couples and families to explore issues around grief and loss in a safe environment.

The process of grieving allows for fresh perspectives to emerge around how to move forward after losing someone or something of deep value.

My experience has made me adept at being able to help you by sitting with you in your grief and slowly helping you process it, so you can reintegrate your loss into your life in a more manageable way.

Grief and loss are a part of life that is not part of our society so the first step is to normalize each person's individual reaction. Counselling provides a place to listen to your emotions, and explore your thoughts about loss and death from your own experience and worldview. Relationships have changed and we discover new ways of relating and celebrating people who have left through death, divorce, and other losses. Grief and loss are tiring so come to counselling where the burden can be shared and lessened as we talk, listen, and explore coping strategies just for you and your family.

It is excruciating to endure the pain of grief and loss. Often we cope with avoidance, distraction, numbing or burying our feelings. It's understandable. What we know is that when we confront and face the pain we can heal. We can feel pressured by others to 'get over it' and this can cause anger, hurt and frustration. My hope is to hold space for the range of emotions you may be experiencing where ever you are in your grief process. Grief is not to be overcome but to learn to carry as we move forward in life. In therapy we can explore what mourning looks like and how to reduce suffering amidst the pain.

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.

Have you found yourself in deep sadness from a recent loss or that may be many years old and perhaps you are only recently recognizing? People were designed to reach out to someone when they are grieving and have had a loss. Unfortunately in our modern world, we are expected to be brief about our losses, to shrug them off and move on. You don't have to suffer alone. I will support you to more fully allow yourself to experience this loss and sadness in safety so that you can truly process the pain. Please contact me for help.

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. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.
