Grief
Inspiring Change Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't always look the way people expect — it can show up as anger, numbness, guilt, or an ache that's hard to put into words. Whether you're mourning a death, a relationship, a version of your life you expected to have, or something else entirely, your loss deserves to be taken seriously. Therapy offers a space to grieve at your own pace, without pressure to move on before you're ready, while also helping you find a way forward that honors what you've been through.

Coping with Loss: Finding Comfort and Healing After Loss
At The Woods Counselling, I understand the profound pain of loss. Whether you've lost a loved one, a relationship, or a cherished dream, I offer compassionate online therapy to support you through your grief journey.
I Can Help You:
Navigate the Emotional Rollercoaster: Grief is a complex process with a wide range of emotions. I'll create a safe space for you to express your sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion without judgment.
Process Your Loss: I provide support as you explore the unique meaning of your loss and begin to integrate it into your life story.
Develop Coping Mechanisms: I’ll equip you with healthy coping skills to manage overwhelming emotions, navigate difficult conversations, and find moments of peace amidst the pain.
Find Comfort and Support: I offer a supportive environment where you can connect with your grief and feel understood. Dealing with loss can be isolating, but you don't have to go through this alone.
Learn to Live Again: While grief takes time, we can explore ways to honor your loved one's memory and find renewed meaning and purpose in your life.
You Are Not Alone:
Losing someone or something you love is a deeply personal experience. However, countless others have walked a similar path, and healing is possible.

Grief
Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
There is no "correct" way to experience loss or grief, nor is there a "wrong" way. You can feel grief/loss for a variety of reasons: maybe you lost a close friend or family member, a beloved pet, or experienced a separation or estrangement from an important relationship. Through therapy, we will process your grief by accepting the existence of the loss, exploring the emotions attached (including processing any associated trauma), and adjusting to life afterward, while integrating the impact the relationship had on your life.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Losing a loved one IS 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.

Aaron Chin

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.

Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley city bordering Washington state with a character shaped by its strong Mennonite and evangelical Christian heritage, a large Punjabi Sikh community that has made it home to one of Canada's most prominent South Asian populations outside the Vancouver core, and a rapidly growing suburban economy that has attracted families priced out of Metro Vancouver. University of the Fraser Valley offers psychology and counselling programs that contribute to the local mental health workforce, and Fraser Health provides public mental health services to the region. Mental health stigma has historically been significant in some of Abbotsford's religious and cultural communities, and faith-integrated therapy and culturally competent care—particularly for South Asian clients—are important considerations in the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family conflict, cultural identity, anxiety, economic stress, and the adjustment challenges of a community navigating the tension between traditional roots and rapid modern growth.
