Grief and Loss Counselling in Selwyn, ON.

Contemporary approaches to coping with grief and loss have shown that the path of acceptance and healing is not linear, but a winding road and unique process for every individual. Psychotherapy can help you along your path by providing an outlet for those challenging emotions and providing you with tools to help you cope. With personal experience, I will lend a hand in helping you to cope and integrate the challenges presented by the loss of a loved one or a significant relationship as you find your new normal. Those we lose remain in our hearts, and by remembering them with gratitude we can begin to heal.

I, like many of us, am no stranger to the feelings of grief and loss and I am aware of how deeply unique and personal these experiences can be. The way that I imagine being part of your journey through these moments is by holding your hand and walking through this unknown path together, while discovering new aspects and meanings of the self along the way. I will check in with you to ensure that we are walking this path on a pace that is most suitable for you, for there is no need to rush during this time. Contact me to schedule a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Experiencing loss is an inevitable part of life and grief is the natural response to that. Loss can come in many forms - the loss of a relationship or marriage, a job, reputation, a beloved pet, an ideal future, or it can come from abuse and neglect. Giref is a normal response to loss but can have a mind of it's own, often surfacing years after the precipitating event. Therapy can help you talk through the loss, feel the grief you need to and process your emotions in a safe a supportive environment. Afterwards you will regain your peace of mind and be able to move forward with your life.

Grief is not something to “get over” - it’s a lifelong process of learning how to carry what you’ve lost in new ways. Whether you’re grieving a loved one, a relationship, or a part of your identity, I offer space for your emotions to unfold without judgment or timeline. Grounded in compassion and continuing bonds theory, our work honours that love and connection don’t end with loss - they change form. Together, we’ll explore ways to stay meaningfully connected while creating space for comfort, growth, and renewed purpose.

Grief can be experienced through loss of a loved one from death, the ending of a relationship or even loss of a job. It is important to understand that grief isn't linear but we experience it in waves that ebb and flow and can feel, at times, exhausting and overwhelming. As a counsellor trained in art therapy and psychodrama techniques, I use these modalities to help you accept and experience your grief without letting it overwhelm your life.

Grief can be anticipatory or unexpected, and even when we believe we are prepared, loss can deeply impact our emotional, physical, and relational well-being. Whether you are mourning the end of a relationship, the death of a loved one, or the loss of a pet, grief can surface in many ways and at unexpected times. Through psychotherapy, I provide a supportive space to process your emotions, explore the meaning of your loss, and develop healthy ways to honour what you are grieving. Together, we work toward restoring balance, resilience, and a sense of connection in your life.

Grief and loss can be overwhelming for people. Having someone to share their story with can help make the journey a little easier. Therapy can help lower feelings of isolation for clients. I help clients come to understand that grief doesn't just go away once the funeral is over, or the situation is over ( such as separation of spouses). Grief takes time. I provide a listening ear, compassion, and respect for how each person grieves. Art making can often be very helpful for clients moving through grief. It can provide them with an outlet for their emotions, and a way to express feelings that are sometimes hard to put into words.

Grief is a complex experience that may be accompanied by a diversity of difficult emotions that are challenging to work around. However, you are not alone. Each of us have a unique relationship with grief, and I am here to support you in discovering what that relationship looks like for you. You don’t have to know where to start or where you are going in your pathway to healing. There is no correct way to grieve. Contact me to book a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit.

It may be that your grief is complicated by a traumatic loss. I want you to know that you are not alone and that I have supported many others through this difficult and painful time.
