Grief and Loss Counselling in Clarke's Beach, NL.

Speaking with a grief counsellor is very beneficial to people in Newfoundland who have suffered the loss of a loved one, a relationship or even a job . There are many forms of grief and everyone reacts to grief in a different manner. Through counselling, Lesley can help individuals gain a better understanding of the stages of grief and provide hope to one day recover from their devastating loss.

Grief is a normal & natural reaction to loss or change of any kind. As human beings we all will experience feelings of grief and loss in our life. Our relationship with the individual we have lost, the nature of events surrounding the loss and our own past experiences of grief and loss all contribute to our coping. All of us at Lighthouse Online Therapy know that grieving the loss of a loved one is difficult. Our grieving can be comparable to being on a rollarcoaster of emotions and/or lost in a sea of grief. Therapy can be helpful in allowing you to explore your feelings and memories in a nonjudgmental space to assist in finding ways to move forward with your grieving process.

Grief is a challenging and complicated emotion. There is no timeline for grieving. I take a narrative approach to help clients process their loss. Individuals need to tell their story and experience the emotions in order to incorporate the loss into their life histories. Often we avoid painful emotions, but these emotions are integral to our life experience. I provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to process these difficult emotions.
