Grief and Loss Counselling in Unionville, ON.

I walk with my clients in their journey of grieving, through their difficult time as they try to understand their loss and their feelings. I offer them a safe space and time to understand their feelings for their losses. There are many other kinds of losses in our lives. We may lose our loved ones, our health, our physical mobility, our relationships with others, our dreams or our jobs. These are losses which we may not realize that we need to grieve. We may feel that something is not quite right.

When we lose someone we love, our relationship with them doesn’t need to end. Your loved one is still very much a part of life. Grief counselling can give you a safe place to talk about your loved one, any regrets you are holding on to and resolve any guilt you may be feeling. Grief counseling can help you with “stuck points” and help you oscillate between sorrow and function.

There is no wrong way to feel in your experience of grief and loss. You may be feeling pain, shock, overwhelmed, depression, anger, loneliness, and other feelings. The way you feel may change quickly and intense emotions may be triggered at unexpected times. You can reach out for support and together we can begin to process your emotions to help you heal.

Many things that make our lives feel rich and meaningful are the result of connection. Connection with others, with ourselves, or with a sense of identity or purpose. When this connection is lost, we can experience confusion, a sense of failure, deep pain and even despair. At times, it can be most helpful to hold space to process the thoughts, feelings and meaning that come as a result of the loss we’ve experienced. By engaging in this process, we can acknowledge the impact of loss and cultivate purpose and meaning to move forward. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

Grief is complicated. You can experience grief from any kind of loss or disappointment in your life. My approach and my associates' approach to grief and loss is personalized; everyone experiences grief and loss differently so we believe their therapy should reflect the stage of grief and loss they find themselves in. Using mindfulness and guided reflection, you and I or one of my associates will work towards building a greater sense of peace and integration regarding the grief and loss you've experienced.

Grieving a loved one and the pain associated with loss is something we can never be prepared for and yet something we all face in our lives. At Atlas Therapy, we help individuals to work through the grief and manage the difficult emotions that come with losing a loved one, a family member or a friend. Often times we are asked how long this process will take but the truth is it is different and unique for everyone. What we can say is that we can be there to help support you with understanding and compassion along the way.
