Grief & Loss Counselling in Sudbury and Across Ontario
Compassionate Support Through Life's Hardest Moments

When you’re grieving, everyday life can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re mourning a loved one, coping with a divorce, experiencing a miscarriage, or adjusting to a significant life change, your pain is valid. Grief affects us emotionally, physically, and spiritually—and there’s no one right way to move through it.

​

At Social Team Work, we offer grief and loss counselling that meets you where you are, without pressure or expectation. Together, we create a space to process your experience, honour your loss, and begin to gently reconnect with life.

​

What is Grief and Loss Counselling?

Grief and loss counselling is a specialized form of therapy provided by registered social workers, designed to support individuals through major losses and life transitions.

Our work together may focus on:

• Bereavement and death of a loved one

• Separation or divorce

• Pregnancy or infant loss

• Loss of employment or identity

• Transitions like retirement, illness, or moving

​

Whether you're accessing support in-person in Sudbury or virtually from anywhere in Ontario, we offer counselling that is evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and rooted in compassion.

​

How Can Grief Counselling Help?

Grief touches every part of life. Counselling offers a safe and respectful space to:

• Express your emotions – Feel seen, heard, and supported as you work through sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness.

• Understand your grief – Learn about the nonlinear nature of grief and what to expect as you heal.

• Develop healthy coping tools – Manage common symptoms like anxiety, sleep disruption, and difficulty concentrating.

• Honour your loss – Engage in rituals, memory-making practices, or storytelling that allow you to carry your loved one or loss forward with meaning.

• Reconnect with life – Explore your values and build resilience, so you can move forward with purpose—even while still carrying grief.

​

What to Expect in a Grief & Loss Counselling

Your grief is unique and your counselling should reflect that. In your sessions, you can expect:

• A personalized assessment that honours your cultural background, family system, and lived experience

• Psychoeducation on common grief responses and what healing might look like for you

• Narrative therapy tools like letter writing, legacy projects, or guided memory work

• Mindful activity planning and reflection exercises to support your healing between sessions

• Flexible, evolving goals that adapt as your needs and emotions shift

Sessions are available in-person in Sudbury or through secure virtual counselling across Ontario, so you can access care in the way that feels most comfortable for you.

Our Approach to Grief Counselling

At Social Team Work, we understand that grief isn’t something to get over or a process you can force yourself through. It’s something you carry and with the right support, it can be carried with care, clarity, and meaning.

Our registered social workers combine professional training in CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches with deep empathy and understanding. We walk alongside you as you honour what’s been lost and gently begin to find a path forward.
