Losing someone or something important to you can leave a profound impact on your life. Grief is a natural response to loss, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming. Grief and loss counselling offers the support and guidance you need to navigate these challenging emotions and find a path forward.

What is grief?

Grief is not something to “fix” or “get over.” It’s a natural, human response to loss that can come in waves. Loss—whether sudden or anticipated—can disrupt your sense of order and make the world feel unfamiliar.

Grief can look and feel different for everyone. Some common signs of unresolved grief include:

  • Persistent thoughts about the loss, coupled with poor concentration
  • Tearful spells and confusion about the future
  • Feelings of guilt, depression, or being overcome with sadness
  • Social withdrawal and changes in appetite
  • Avoidance of deeper conversations about the loss
  • Unhealthy behaviors that interfere with work or daily life

How can grief counselling help?

Counselling helps you identify and express feelings, resolve guilt or conflict, and develop coping strategies to manage the impact of loss on your life. It provides a safe, supportive environment to process your emotions, find a healthy way to grieve, and move forward while honouring your loss.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify and express your feelings
  • Resolve any guilt or conflict related to the loss
  • Adapt to a new reality without forgetting your past
  • Begin investing in your future

How long does grief counselling take?

The length of counselling depends on your unique needs and circumstances. Some people benefit from a few sessions, while others find ongoing support helpful.
