Grief & Loss Counselling
Your heart may feel unbearably heavy right now, and that is a natural response to loss. Grief and Loss Counselling surrounds you with gentle compassion, giving you space to honour what you’ve lost and begin healing at your own pace.
​
What is Grief and Loss Counselling?
Grief and Loss Counselling is a specialized form of counselling provided by a registered social worker to help you process bereavement, divorce, miscarriage, job loss, or any significant life change. Through compassionate listening, evidence-based techniques, and tailored support, you explore emotions, memories, and meaning while learning healthy ways to adapt. Whether you meet us in Sudbury or virtually anywhere in Ontario, this therapy nurtures mental health and fosters hope for the future.
​
How Can Grief and Loss Counselling Help You?
– Emotional Release: Express sadness, anger, or confusion in a judgement-free setting and feel truly heard.
– Healthy Coping: Gain tools to manage anxiety, sleep issues, and intrusive thoughts that often follow loss.
– Meaning-Making: Explore rituals and storytelling that honour your relationship and integrate the loss into your life narrative.
– Resilience Building: Strengthen self-compassion, social support, and daily routines that promote long-term well-being.
– Life Re-Engagement: Identify values and goals that help you move forward while still carrying memories with love.
​
What to Expect in a Grief and Loss Counselling Session
– Assessment and goal-setting to understand your unique loss, cultural background, and support network
– Psycho-education on the normal, varied, and nonlinear nature of grief
– Narrative and meaning-centred techniques such as letter writing or memory projects
– Homework reflections—journals, gentle activity planning, or coping skills practice—to reinforce progress
– Ongoing reviews that track healing milestones and adjust counselling to your evolving needs
