Many of my clients have come to me to get over the loss of someone whether through breakup, divorce, or death. Even when loss isn't the primary reason for them seeking my help, it is often something impacting the issue at hand. In all cases I have been able to help my clients let go and move forward. In hypnosis, we can have people speak with someone who has passed on, whether it is to exchange some final goodbyes, get love and support, resolve some old dispute or trauma. I've had several clients who had trouble letting go after a breakup and we have managed to get them to move on. I had one female client who came to me for a variety of issues. She had been through a difficult divorce and Cancer diagnosis while raising 3 young children. Throughout her ordeal, she had received immense support from the priest at her church but he had passed away and she missed him immensely. In hypnosis, we visited his spirit and she was able to feel again his love and support and get his counsel. As another part of her treatment, we were able to converse with her late father who had abandoned the family when she was a child, and release the trauma that he had caused. Whether you believe in spirits or not, the experiences in hypnosis feel absolutely real and are able to bring peace and resolution.

Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
When working with grief, I focus on creating space for the emotions that often feel difficult to face. It’s very common for people to try to push grief aside or stay busy in order to avoid the pain that comes with loss. While that can help in the short term, healing often begins when we allow ourselves to gradually experience and work through those emotions rather than avoiding them. Working through our grief is a long term process that will change as we learn to integrate our past and our loss with the many ways we an begin to move forward.

Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief affects each individual differently and while there are stages of grief they can come and go and often surprise us when the feelings show up. We often do not realize the life events that can lead to feelings of grief and loss which can include the loss of a pet, divorce, or even life changes where we grieve the loss of our old career or routine. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a major life transition, or any significant change that leaves you feeling overwhelmed. The loss of someone or something important can leave you feeling overwhelmed, heartbroken, and unsure of how to move forward. Together, we'll create a safe space to process your grief, honour your loss, and work through the difficult emotions at your own pace. My goal is to help you find hope, healing, and meaning while carrying your loss in a way that allows you to move forward with compassion for yourself.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
Children often grieve in ways that are quiet, confusing, or misunderstood. Whether they’ve lost a loved one, a pet, or experienced another significant change, I provide a safe, supportive space where they can express their grief through play, art, and gentle conversation. In therapy, I help children name their feelings, ask hard questions, and find healthy ways to remember, cope, and move forward at their own pace. I also support parents in understanding their child’s unique grief process and how to offer comfort and security during a time of deep emotional need. Grief is not something to "get over"—it’s something we learn to carry together, with care and compassion.
