Grief doesn’t move in a straight line, and there’s no timeline you’re supposed to be following. Sessions make space for wherever you’re at, whether that’s early and overwhelming or years later and still showing up in unexpected ways.
How sessions build over time:
Grief counselling isn’t only for the immediate aftermath of a loss. It can help whenever grief still feels heavy or unresolved, however long ago it happened.
Grief can also settle in as low mood or exhaustion that lingers, and if that overlap sounds familiar, our depression counselling page walks through how we can address both together.
You might be a good fit if:
Grief counselling works best when it makes room for the full complexity of loss, not just the parts that are easy to talk about. We build an approach around what your grief actually needs.
What this can include:
Grief counselling is a space to process loss, whatever that loss looks like for you, at a pace that respects where you’re at rather than where you think you should be.
There isn’t a set timeline. Grief can ease and resurface over months or years, and both are normal. We focus on how you’re doing now rather than measuring you against a schedule.
No. Grief counselling can help with any significant loss, including the end of a relationship, a health diagnosis, or a loss of identity or future you had expected.
Grief is rarely just sadness. Relief, anger, guilt, and numbness are all common, and there’s room here to feel all of it without judgment.
That’s not the goal. We focus on finding a way to carry the loss and stay connected to what mattered, rather than trying to leave it behind.
It varies by person and loss. Some people come for a short stretch of focused support, others continue longer, especially through anniversaries or other triggers. We’ll check in regularly on what’s working.
Yes. What you share stays private, with the standard legal exceptions any counsellor in Ontario is required to follow.

I’ve spent more than two decades sitting with people in some of the most tender seasons of their lives. That work has taught me that healing is rarely linear, and that the goal is not to erase your story. The goal is to help you hold it with more clarity, more compassion, and more freedom.
Sessions are offered virtually to clients worldwide—including across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Dubai, Bahrain, Qatar, and India—with limited in-person availability in Toronto.<br><br>

Starting counselling can feel vulnerable. A strong counselling relationship is built through safety, trust, and a shared understanding of what you need. My goal is to offer a space where you feel supported as you explore what is hurting, what is protecting you, and what healing may look like for you.
