Grief touches all of us. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, facing the loss of a beloved pet, coping with divorce, family estrangement, or mourning a life you thought you would have, loss has a way of changing how we move through the world.

You may feel like you're carrying something heavy that no one else can see.

You might be:

🌿• Watching life continue around you while feeling stuck in place

🌿• Managing one moment and falling apart the next

🌿• Carrying guilt for things said or left unsaid, or feeling like you didn't do enough

🌿• Feeling angry at the unfairness of what happened

🌿• Exhausted in a way that rest doesn't seem to touch

🌿• Wondering how to move forward when life feels permanently changed

🌿• Feeling pressure to "get back to normal"

Grief is not linear. It comes in waves, often arriving when you least expect it. Even when people care about you deeply, it can feel like no one truly understands the depth of what you're carrying.

You don't have to navigate that alone.

When most people think of grief, they think about death. But grief counselling often involves many different kinds of losses.

I provide grief counselling and bereavement support for:

🌿• The death of a loved one, including a parent, partner, spouse, child, sibling, family member, or close friend

🌿• Pet loss and the death of a cherished animal companion (click here to learn more about pet loss counselling)

🌿• Divorce or separation and the loss of a shared future

🌿• Family estrangement and complicated family relationships

🌿• Anticipatory grief when someone you love is facing illness, aging, or declining health

🌿• Childhood emotional neglect and grieving the support, safety, or nurturing you never received

🌿• Major life transitions, identity changes, and significant personal losses.

Grief is rarely just sadness.

It can also look like anger, guilt, regret, numbness, anxiety, loneliness, relief, confusion, resentment, or longing.

Sometimes it looks like all of those things in a single day.

Grief counselling provides a space where you don't need to be strong, explain yourself, or have all the answers.

Together, we create room for your grief to be acknowledged and understood at your own pace.

In our work together, we may:

🌿• Explore and process difficult emotions

🌿• Make sense of complex or conflicting feelings

🌿• Work through unfinished conversations or regrets

🌿• Learn ways to cope with the impact grief is having on daily life

🌿• Reconnect with your values, identity, and sense of meaning

🌿• Find ways to carry your loss while continuing to move forward.

There is no timeline for grief and no expectation that you should be "over it" by now.

Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, your grief deserves care and attention.

Loss leaves an imprint because the relationship mattered.

Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a pet, a relationship, a family connection, or a childhood you never had, your experience deserves compassion, not judgment.

You don't have to carry it all by yourself.

If you're looking for grief counselling, bereavement support, pet loss counselling, or help navigating a significant life loss, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
