Grief and Loss Counselling in Halifax, NS.

When we lose something or someone we value, big or small, we often do not know how to respond. Loss begins a life-altering journey that can be enraging, unpredictable, painful, laborious, exhausting, and isolating. There is no recovery manual that maps out time, effort or distance. Liz's empathetic approach provides the space needed to navigate and narrate unchartered territory, while respecting that healing is a process. She facilitates the unpacking of personal experiences and works collaboratively to design a living plan that honors the relationship with grief while also creating a new way of being that is authentic and unique.
