Grief and Loss Counselling in Kamloops, BC.

Losing loved ones is one of the most difficult things you will ever endure. I will support individuals/couples grieving the loss of a friend, loved one, or associate. I provide support for people who may have experienced a traumatic loss, and also provide couples grieving consultations. Grief is a natural response to loss. I create a confidential, safe place where you feel comfortable and understood, while learning to manage the changes and challenges that come with all types of loss such as illness, age, sudden or accidental death, suicide, and child loss.

My approach is to join with you to understand your experience of loss intimately and deeply in conversation with you. When we are joined with the pain, you will not have to feel it alone, even if the grief is only fully healed with time. I will help you make sense of your feelings and provide psychoeducation around the phases of grief, specifically to how these known phases can be meaningful to your current experience, what you are feeling, and how you can continue to honour the person, relationship, or thing that you have lost and find acceptance and hope.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by loss, struggling to cope with the pain, and finding it hard to move forward?

Imagine having someone by your side who truly understands what you're going through, who offers compassionate support and effective strategies to help you heal.

When losing someone or something important to us, it can take lots time to adjust and learn to live our life without that person, thing or way of life. Either it is the death of a loved one, loss of a relationship, loss of a pet, loss of a job or important possessions, change to your way of life, grieving is a normal response to a life event and bottling it up can create damage or even harm to a person. It can take time to adjust and accept to learn to live life without that person, thing or way of life. When it gets too challenging or overwhelming, or if it gets in a way of living a healthy life, sometimes turning to professional support can help getting through this challenging event.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Moving through times of grieving can often be complicated by feelings of isolation and loss and to navigate this I work with individuals to process the impact of the grief within different aspects of their lives. Part of this process involves examining assets within themselves that will foster strength and resilience that will be beneficial towards the process of moving ahead in their lives. Living with grief is a part of the grieving process and building on past successes and strengths speaks to continued wellness.

In grief counseling, various techniques are employed, such as talk therapy, expressive arts therapy, and support groups, to create a supportive and understanding environment. The focus is on acknowledging the loss, expressing emotions safely, and finding new ways to connect with lost loved ones or adapt to the new reality. The journey also involves rediscovering joy and meaning in life, acknowledging that while the loss remains a part of one's story, it does not define the entire narrative. This compassionate approach aims to guide individuals through their grief, helping them to heal and grow at their own pace.
