Support for Grief and Loss

Bereavement, trauma, or loss counselling online or in person.

Counselling for grief and loss provides you with the emotional support and guidance you need in order to process and cope with the death of a loved one, significant life changes, or other forms of profound loss. You might feel stuck right now, and that is completely understandable, however, you don’t have to remain in that stuck state. Counselling can provide you with a way to understand and process your grief, accept the reality of the loss, work through the pain and emotional suffering, adjust to life without the person or situation and eventually help you to find a way to move forward while honouring your loss.

What we fail to understand (or rarely talk about openly) are the mixed and complex emotions a loss or death bring up for us. Some of these feelings feel “wrong” (they are not), and a block of counselling sessions can really help you process the loss of that relationship. Some emotions that might be felt after a bereavement include: a sense of feeling stuck in your grief or it’s getting worse over time, which could be made worse by experiencing intense feelings of guilt, anger, or hopelessness. Perhaps your daily functioning is significantly impaired or now you have lost that someone  you’re isolating yourself or avoiding reminders of the loss. Loss can show up in strange ways in our body such as fatigue, insomnia, or appetite changes. Sometimes, grief can turn complex and slip into depression. 

Whatever might be going on for you after your loss, therapy with me will give you need a space to express emotions that others may not understand. Before I work with anyone, it’s important that you and I feel comfortable together, so please, if you are thinking about some counselling sessions for your grief, please get in touch for a free chat, to see how we can work together.
