Grief Counselling and Support for All Types of Loss

Grief Counselling Near Me |

The Why

Grief is not something to "get over"—it’s something we live through, carry, and make meaning of in our own time and in our own way.

Grief can arise after the death of a loved one, but also from losses that are less publicly acknowledged: the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, changes in identity, displacement, or the loss of community, culture, or safety. In a world shaped by systemic oppression, some grief is layered and complicated by histories of injustice, intergenerational trauma, or the ongoing impact of colonization and racial violence.

You may be feeling sadness, anger, numbness, or even guilt. You may be struggling to make space for your grief in a society that rushes healing or silences pain. Whatever your experience looks like, you are not too much, too broken, or grieving “wrong.”

The How

I offer:

  • A space where your preferred way of grieving is honoured, not pathologized

  • Tools for grounding and self-regulation when emotions feel overwhelming

  • Acknowledgment of the systemic and cultural factors that shape your experience of loss

  • Room to explore meaning-making, ritual, and healing practices that resonate with your values and traditions

Grief is not linear. It takes the time it takes. My role is to walk with you without trying to fix, rush, or explain away your pain. Whether you're in the early days of loss or carrying a long-held sorrow, you deserve support that meets you with care, respect, and depth.

The Where

Counselling sessions are tailored to meet you where you are at in your healing journey. Sessions can take place:

  • Virtually. Meeting you in the comfort of your own home.

  • In Nature. Grief can leave us feeling untethered and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the rhythms of life. Nature-based therapy offers a gentle, grounding way to navigate loss. In the presence of trees, water, and open sky, we’re reminded that change, death, and renewal are natural parts of life. Nature holds space without judgment, allowing grief to unfold at its own pace.
