Grief and Loss Counselling in Kimberley, BC.

We don't just "get over " grief because a person we loved is gone and there is no right time when grieving should end. Grief is a process we must go through in order to come to terms with loss and find a measure of peace, which looks different for every person. It's important to have a safe place to cry or be angry with a well-trained counsellor who is patient, understanding and has experienced deep loss herself. We can talk about what you feel, make sense of what happened, help you find ways to honour those you have loved in meaningful ways so, over time, you can move forward in a way that is right for you.

As isolating and overwhelming as grief can be, you will find a sense of support in counselling with Molly. You will be encouraged to take your time and process your loss at your own pace. When you're ready, Molly can introduce methods like CBT, EMDR, or mindfulness to help with sorting out complex emotions, finding meaning, and beginning to heal as you move toward a renewed sense of connection and purpose.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, angry, lonely, guilty, relieved, isolated, confused, or numbed out? Loss and grief is most often associated with loss of life, but it can also be central to the presenting problems and underlying issues that are brought into my counselling office by most of my clients. Death, divorce, relocation, immigration, job loss, relationship breakdowns...these are all losses that we need to work through. Talking about your loss and processing your feelings is a good place to start.

Grief is a potential reaction to a loss of any kind whether through death, divorce, abandonment, separation, job loss, illness, disease diagnosis, kids leaving home, etc. Feelings of anger, resentment, shame, confusion, isolation or abandonment can result. Friends and family may not know what to say or how to provide support. A trained professional, who is profoundly sympathetic, respectful and empathetic, with the skills required to help one navigate through this difficult time, can be critical in helping one regain equilibrium.

While grief and transition are a natural part of life, we are still often overwhelmed by sadness, anger and all the confusing emotions that come with loss. There is no right or wrong way to grieve—just your body and mind doing what it can to process the pain of major life change and the loss of how things were. Working with me means compassionate care that helps you to approach and feel your feelings in a safe way, taking things one step at a time. I promise you that all grief can be transformed into a gentle honouring of who or what was lost. I would be happy to team up with you in your journey towards peace and acceptance.

Grief and loss can feel overwhelming and isolating, but therapy offers a compassionate space to process your emotions at your own pace. Through our work together, you’ll gain tools to navigate the complex feelings that come with loss, rediscover your inner strength, and find ways to honor what’s been lost while moving forward with hope. Clients benefit from a personalized approach that fosters resilience, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose in life.
