Loss or Grief
Jasmine Gill Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Carrying grief is an unbearable burden, one that no one deserves to face alone. Seeking therapy for grief is an incredibly courageous act, that will be met with honouring your unique timeline on this journey of confronting one of the biggest wounds; how to continue living without a loved one.
In our work together, we gently turn toward the loss, making space to understand how to live alongside the pain while exploring the impact of what remains. Grief is not something to “get over,” but something to move with, at your own pace.
It is an honour to sit with you in your grief. Through a safe, attuned relationship, we move slowly toward a place of acceptance—one that allows space for both the pain of loss and the possibility of continued connection and meaning.

Loss or Grief
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Grief is one of the most profound and disorienting experiences a person can face, and at Nightingale Counselling we recognize that it is not a linear process but a deeply personal one shaped by each individual's relationships, cultural background, spiritual beliefs, and sources of meaning. Our therapists are trained to hold space for the full complexity of loss, including not just sadness but the anger, guilt, anxiety, and disbelief that grief so often carries alongside it, and we offer specialized support for a wide range of experiences including spousal loss, suicide bereavement, pet loss, complicated grief, and violent or unanticipated loss. At Nightingale, grief counselling is a collaborative and culturally attuned process, with the goal of helping clients move from the overwhelming disorientation of loss toward acceptance, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.

Loss or Grief
Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)(ACCT), 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.

Loss or Grief
Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I support clients through grief and loss that feel complicated, unresolved, or hard to put into words. I am trained in Induced After Death Communication (IADC), an extension of EMDR, which can gently help process complex and prolonged grief. Our work honours the uniqueness of your grief—there is no right timeline or right way to move through it. Together, we create space for both the sorrow and the ongoing bond, allowing grief to shift and soften.

Loss or 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.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising a significant majority of the population and Mandarin and Cantonese widely spoken — creating a therapy community where demand for Chinese-language and culturally competent therapists far exceeds available supply. The city's proximity to Vancouver International Airport and its role as a gateway community for recent immigrants from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan shapes a therapy landscape particularly attuned to immigration stress, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the identity challenges of first-generation residents. Richmond Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that is increasingly building capacity in Chinese-language care. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains a significant barrier, and many therapists in Richmond invest considerable clinical energy in normalizing therapy as part of their work.
