This is a common occurrence in my counseling practice. By employing the stages of grief and thoroughly exploring each stage, you can identify various aspects of this challenging journey. You will be compassionately listened to, encouraged, and validated through this painful journey.
Experiencing the pain of loss or grief can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. With years of experience in grief work, I offer compassionate support and practical strategies to help individuals process their emotions and find healing. Through mindfulness-based processes and hypnotherapy, we'll work together to honour your loss, navigate the grieving process, and cultivate resilience and self-confidence for the journey ahead.
From a trauma-informed understanding, loss or grief create an experience of disconnectedness that often result in feeling lonely, isolated, abandoned, failed, rejected, lost among others. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your loss or grief, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping with it, and ultimately helping you process it so you reconnect and move on with your life.

Loss and grief can leave you feeling disoriented, shattered, and profoundly alone. Whether you’re mourning the death of a loved one, the distance caused by migration or estrangement, or the life you imagined if things had been different, these emotions can feel overwhelming. We will honour your pain—embracing the anger, sorrow, and disappointment that arise—allowing space for healing. We’ll explore not only the tangible losses but also the more elusive, ambiguous ones, like the dreams left unfulfilled. At your pace, we’ll walk this path toward emotional recovery, and perhaps even forgiveness, as you find your way back to wholeness. You don’t have to face this journey alone.
It's a natural emotional response to losing someone in your life. It can often come with divorce, illness and childhood abuse. There are typically 7 stages of grief. Grief like with any healing is not linear.
How do you get back to who you were before this loss? Before this intense grief? How will you ever be happy again and be able to move on with your life? These might be some of the questions that are sitting in your thoughts. Please know, you don't have to navigate this painful journey alone. There is help and support for you while you navigate this very difficult time in your life.
At some point in life, most people will experience loss and the grief that comes with it. Along with the grief will be feelings, varying from deep sadness to anger. Adapting to loss is different for each person and often depends on one’s relationship to what was lost.
It's important to feel we have permission to grieve when we've experienced a loss. Many struggle to grieve especially when they didn't feel safe to grieve as a child. In counselling we'll walk through the grieving process, normalizing the cognitive, emotional and somatic symptoms the client is experiencing.
If you are struggling with a recent loss please reach out. I know your emotions can be overwhelming and you just want the anger to go away. Please reach out and I can help you work through these difficult emotions so you can move forward and not feel stuck anymore.
Your grief journey is unique and personal to you. I can offer you patience, compassion, and loving-kindness in healing from your loss. I will support you in developing practices to support releasing grief and any other side emotions, which can come with complex loss. Through grief counselling you may find a safe space to grieve. I will not tell you to "move on", rather I'll support you in the ways that meet your needs.

We can work together to understand the space of loss and grief in your life and help you get centered again to find relief.
Whether you're grieving someone who was by your side your entire life, you're mourning the loss of a precious baby due to miscarriage, I've been there too. Each loss is significant, and unique.
In a culture that pushes us to get over our grief all too quickly, Meadowinds provides a space to slow down and honour your relationship, lost hopes, and grief for the one who meant so much to you.
Grief comes in so many different forms from a loss of a loved family or friend, loss of a pet or someone influential in your life. It can result from life changes, especially sudden ones, when we just feel lost. Therapy can offer a consistent space to feel anchored when everything else is unknown.
Losing a loved one can be devastating. We can have regrets over unsaid apologies, or sadness that we'll never hear their voice again. If that isn't difficult enough, families often find themselves in conflict afterwards -- from the will to control over assets to how the celebration of life will look. Having someone to cry and reminisce with, vent to and bounce ideas off of, can help make sense of an already stressful time.
Grieving is a natural process in life. Complicated grief however can disrupt your sleep, work and relationships in ways that are profoundly challenging to identity. Be not dismayed. The path has been travelled many times. If you are suffering a tragic loss or life transition like a job loss or a marriage, grieving can support the process in developing a new life moving forward.
When working with loss or grief, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.
