Grief
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Grief is a natural response to a loss. Losses often involve a death of a partner, family member, friend, or pet. Feelings associated with grief vary but can include sadness, anger, guilt, regret, and helplessness. The way in which individuals adapt to a loss depends on a variety of factors such as coping style, age, beliefs, and personality variables. In order to assist clients with working through their grief issues I largely work from the task theory perspective developed by psychologist J.W. Worden. His model is referred to as the Four Tasks of Mourning.
The Tasks of Mourning are as follows:
Task 1: To accept the reality of the loss.
Task 2: To process the pain of grief.
Task 3: To adjust to a life without the deceased.
Adjusting adaptively often includes making external, internal, and spiritual adjustments.
Task 4: To maintain a continuing bond with the deceased while embarking on a new life.
Individuals experiencing grief may be struggling with at least one of the four tasks of mourning. A major reason for the model’s effectiveness is that the tasks imply that clients can actively do something to manage their grief symptoms. As we collaboratively explore the tasks of mourning and identify the areas that are challenging to work through, clients gain an understanding of how their thoughts, emotions, or behaviours have prevented them from adaptively moving through the grief process.
Clients may also notice how their coping styles have prevented them from grieving effectively with past losses. As they move through the tasks of mourning they often develop a sense of control over their lives, which is a crucial step in alleviating feelings of helplessness. Additionally, clients give themselves the permission to embark on a new life while finding meaningful ways of staying connected to what was lost.

Grief
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Grief is often a complex response to what is missing from our lives—whether that is the loss of a loved one or the realization that we never received the care, safety, or parenting we deserved. Drawing on over 15 years of experience, I help you navigate the heavy, often unacknowledged pain of a 'relationship that never was'; for example, not having the relationship with parents you needed or wanted.
Using a Parts Work lens, we create a compassionate space to honor the parts of you that are still carrying the sadness and anger of those unmet needs. We don't just focus on 'moving on'; we focus on giving those younger parts of you the acknowledgment they never received. By witnessing and healing these old wounds, we work to transform your grief into a grounded sense of self-compassion and internal peace.

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.

Grief
Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Grief is a deeply personal experience that can arise from the loss of a loved one, relationship changes, health challenges, or significant life transitions. I offer a compassionate and supportive space where individuals can express their emotions freely, without pressure to “move on” or heal within a timeline.
My approach to grief counselling is trauma-informed and paced, helping clients process loss while restoring emotional stability and inner strength. Together, we work to understand the impact of grief on the mind and body, develop coping strategies, and gently rebuild meaning, connection, and hope in daily life.
