Grief & Loss

Grief and loss are deeply personal experiences that touch every part of life. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the breakdown of a relationship, the loss of a job, or another significant life change, grief can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. The emotions that come with loss may include sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness, and they often surface in waves that can be hard to understand or manage.

Grief doesn’t follow a straight path or a set timeline. Some days may feel manageable, while others bring back raw pain or unexpected reminders. It can affect sleep, concentration, relationships, and your overall sense of meaning and stability. You may feel isolated, as though others don’t fully understand your experience, or pressured to “move on” when you’re not ready.

Therapy provides a safe, compassionate space to process these emotions without judgement. Together, we can explore your grief at your own pace, honour your loss, and find ways to adapt to life after change. Rather than “getting over it,” therapy focuses on helping you integrate your loss into your life in a way that allows for healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of connection and purpose.
