Grief and Loss Counselling in Kitimat, BC.

I offer a helping hand through the grief and the emotional turmoil that accompanies all kinds of loss - from death to illness, from alcoholism to violence, from unemployment to divorce. I use one-to-one supportive counselling allowing you to direct the healing and share with you the years of experience (both personal and professional) that I have in how to deal with the loss. I offer craft and art mediums as a way to confront hard and painful truths and work your way through them to a peaceful resolution.

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.

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.

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.

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.
