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.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Every day we encounter loss and grief in many different forms - every passing minute is a minute of our lives that we are not getting back. Once we start exploring our the depths of our grief, we discover that it is directly proportional with our capacity for love. As love, grief asks for companionship and to be held. I invite you to reach out for support so we can hold it together.

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.

In most families with addiction, there has been much grief and loss - and even more so if the addict has died.

Grief can take many forms—death, change, endings, or unacknowledged losses. I offer a compassionate, grounded space to move through grief at your own pace, honoring the complexity of your experience and the uniqueness of your path.

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.

By welcoming your grief experientially, we allow your body to carry and integrate the loss safely and naturally over time.

Transversality Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors
Unconditional support is the main component of moving towards healthy relationships with our grief and loss. Grief is a presence that needs to be acknowledged, respected and even welcomed as a reminder of the gifts we have had the opportunity to enjoy in our journey. There are no rights or wrongs -or too longs- grieving is a process and it takes as long as it needs to take.

Loralee Schultz
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Psyc, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) CRPO & CCPA & BCACC Member
Grief is a deeply isolating experience, and our culture frequently rushes people to 'move on' before they are truly ready. In my practice, I believe that loss cannot be neatly resolved or fixed; instead, it needs to be safely carried and witnessed. I offer a gentle, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, with all of the messy, unpredictable emotions that accompany profound loss. Together, we will honour your timeline, process the emotional weight at your own pace, and gently explore how to carry your grief forward without losing your connection to yourself.
