Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Our society does not provide us with a language or many rituals/practices to process grief or loss on an individual level or as a collective. Grief can occur in so many traditionally unmarked instances in our lives, from the loss of a job/career, relationship breakup, relocation of home, loss of a pet, family member, friend, colleague or loved one. Often we can feel very alone in our grief as a result. Grief and loss can bring up a whole range of emotions, and trigger losses we have experienced in the past. I will work with you to understand your experience of grief as it is a very individual process, normalize what you're feeling and going through, and provide a safe space for you to process and reconcile your grief. We'll work together to discover a new normal after loss. It will take time, but I want you to know that you're not alone in this.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Disenfranchised grief or complicated grief are some of my specialities with grief. Disenfranchised grief is: "not openly acknowledged or publicly supported through mourning practices or rituals because the experience is not valued or counted [by others] as a loss". This grief can be very isolating, and complicated grief can also be isolating. I am glad to meet for a consultation to hear your story - you do not need to do this alone.

When we lose someone, through death or in some other way, we need someone to talk to. Someone who listens and strives to understand as we work though the often complex and confusing range of emotions that loss and grief bring. Most of all we need someone to be there who can be steady and accept the intense pain that we carry, the rage, the sadness, all of it. Eventually something inside can lighten. Perhaps it doesn't go away, but it hurts less. We can tolerate it. Manage it. Life opens again.

Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Qualifying
Loss due to any big or small change is a natural part of life. Grief is a natural emotion that accompanies any type of loss - loved ones, culture, relationships, health-related. Grief will come in waves. Learn to be with grief differently each time it comes as you move through the healing journey.

Psychotherapy with people who have experienced losses, especially traumatic losses often centers around grief and mourning. Navigating the many challenges of mourning while trying to cope with present day life is what I help people work on in therapy.

At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals navigating the difficult journey of loss and grief. Losing a loved one or experiencing a significant life change can be overwhelming, and I am here to offer guidance and comfort during this challenging time.
In my grief counselling sessions, I create a safe and nurturing space where individuals can explore their feelings of loss, sadness, and confusion. Together, we work through the grieving process, allowing clients to honor their emotions and find meaning in their experiences.
Using a personalized approach, I draw from various therapeutic techniques to help individuals cope with their grief and move towards healing. Whether it's through talk therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness practices, or narrative therapy, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients.
My goal is to provide support and encouragement as individuals navigate the ups and downs of grief, helping them find acceptance, peace, and hope for the future. If you're struggling with loss or grief, please reach out – you don't have to go through it alone.

The Cohen Clinic
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief is our processing of loss. Loss comes in all forms (i.e. death, divorce, break-up, job loss, ending of a friendship, etc.) Emotions that often accompany grief are guilt, anger, sadness, and despair. There is no right or wrong way to grieve – everyone’s grief process is unique to them and their own experiences. Clinicians will work with you to understand and cope with the grief you are experiencing, allowing you to feel the sadness while beginning to move forward in your life.
