Grief and Loss Counselling in Prescott, ON.

Grief and loss occur in many forms (death, separation, divorce, life stage transition, relocation, aging of parents, etc.) and affects each person in unique ways. Each person requires different lengths of time and different processes for the resolution of grief and loss. Through grief counselling Sarah will assist you to navigate the various stages of the grief process and will assist you in dealing with the depression, anxiety, loneliness and sense of confusion that are a normal part of grieving. She will give you a safe and caring environment to process your different emotions so that you can move forward emotionally after suffering grief or loss. Please feel free to contact Sarah.

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.

Losing someone close to us can be among the most painful of life experiences. An example of one of my approaches to working with grieving clients involves learning how to live with the pain and loss along with finding ways to honor the life and memory of the bereaved. However, grief is a largely personal process, with many different types of loss that each require their own unique approach and attentiveness depending on what feels best for clients during this most vulnerable time.

Processing loss is painful, confusing and often isolating. This is not something that is as simple as progressing through "stages" in order and typically involves emotions that we have been taught to avoid or suppress. Working with a therapist to unpack and go through grief and loss can offer some space and perspective that is not there when we talk with friends and family. Here you can have a non-judgmental space to take the time to work this out in the way that you need. This is not always easy, but we can navigate this together.

In my work helping clients process grief and loss, I strive to go at a pace that feels right for you. It can be hard to know how to get through a loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a meaningful opportunity. We can figure out what works best for you, whatever stage of grief you might be in. I welcome the opportunity to sit with you as you process this deeply unique experience. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Over the course of our lives, we experience various losses and we grieve in many different ways. It can be difficult to know how to begin working through grief and you do not have to be alone in this process. I believe that grieving is a journey and I welcome the opportunity to support you in your path to healing. Within therapy, we can explore some of the emotions you are experiencing, unpack expectations about what grieving looks like, discuss possibilities for connection with what’s most important within your life, and consider possible ways to honour the loss(es) you have experienced.
