Grief
Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Grief can follow the death of someone important, the loss of a relationship, or another meaningful loss, and there is no single way or timetable for experiencing it. Counselling offers a place to speak openly about what has been lost, work through difficult emotions, and consider how to carry what matters to you while gradually rebuilding daily life and finding a way forward.

Grief
Online Therapy in Ontario & BC
Registered Psychotherapist
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.

Grief
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and it doesn't always make sense to the people around you. Sometimes it shows up long after the loss, or for something others don't recognise as a loss at all. I work with people in that space without trying to move them through it faster than they're ready for, helping them find their footing again and figure out who they are on the other side.

Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
I understand what it’s like to lose, to grieve, and to have your life changed by something you never wanted to happen. Sometimes grief is obvious and consuming; other times, it’s quieter, showing up in ways you don’t expect. I’m here to help you move through the loss, make room for what has changed, and discover what life can look like from here. We don't have much language around loss and grief but it very much belongs as part of what it means to be human.

Grief
Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
As we journey through life loss is inevitable. We experience loss whenever there is a transition in our lives; changing careers, moving, our children leave home, our relationship ends, and most deeply when someone we love dies. All of these losses require us to grieve.
Each of us feels the depth of the loss or change in our own unique way so our grief is very individual and personal.
In my work with grief and loss I offer, with deep compassion, a safe place to express the emotional pain around the loss you are experiencing and offer tools to help you navigate life with the loss and find a way to thrive again.

Grief
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Grief and loss can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and deeply personal. While it may come from the loss of a loved one, grief can also arise from the end of a relationship, changes in identity, unmet expectations, or other significant life transitions. You might notice waves of sadness, anger, numbness, or disconnection, and it can feel isolating when others don’t fully understand the depth of what you’re experiencing.
In our work together, we’ll create a space where your grief is allowed, without pressure to move on or feel differently than you do. We’ll gently explore your experience, making room for both the pain of the loss and the meaning it holds. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll also support your nervous system in processing grief, helping you feel more grounded and better able to carry your loss over time.
I draw from approaches such as IFS, ACT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll focus on building compassionate ways to navigate your grief, while supporting connection, self-understanding, and healing in your own time.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Loss or grief deeply affects us physically and emotionally. Through balancing the central nervous system and brain along with counselling the body and mind are brought through a gentle process of grief. We can grieve many things: expectations, identity, relationships, careers, health, and the past.

Grief
Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Losing someone or something meaningful can change your world in ways you never anticipated. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a significant family change, or a future you once imagined, loss can bring a complicated mixture of sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness, and uncertainty. Some days, you may feel overwhelmed by your emotions; other days, you might feel numb or disconnected. There is no single right way to grieve, and you shouldn't have to navigate these experiences alone.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for adolescents and adults experiencing grief, bereavement, and significant personal loss. My person-centred, trauma-informed approach provides a supportive environment where you can express difficult emotions, share meaningful memories, and explore your experiences without judgment or pressure to move forward before you're ready.
I understand that grief is deeply connected to our relationships, cultural identities, family traditions, and personal beliefs. In some families and communities, expectations around expressing emotions, maintaining strength, or honouring loved ones can make the grieving process particularly complex. My culturally responsive approach creates space to acknowledge these influences while respecting your individual experience of loss.
Together, we can explore ways to cope with painful emotions, navigate changing relationships and responsibilities, strengthen your support systems, and gradually rediscover moments of connection and meaning. Counselling isn't about forgetting someone you love or erasing what you've experienced. It's about finding ways to carry your experiences while continuing to care for yourself and live meaningfully.
Whether your loss happened recently or you've been carrying grief for many years, your feelings deserve compassion and understanding. I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would be honoured to provide a supportive space where you can process your grief, honour what matters to you, and move forward in your own way and at your own pace.
