Grief and Loss Counselling in Bonfield, ON.

At Arukah Counselling we understand that grief and loss are difficult to navigate. Whether its dealing with the grief of losing a loved one or the loss of a job, home, relationship, our therapists will support you in this difficult journey. Our therapists understand that one doesn't "get over" grief but grow around it and through it. Clients are given a listening ear, a safe space to talk, feel and express emotions.

Losing someone or something meaningful to you is devastating and painful. It may feel as if your world has been turned upside down. Together we can make sense of your experience. I invite you to the psychotherapy process where I offer healing approaches such as Brainspotting and IFS that are designed to change your neural pathways more efficiently and faster than regular talk therapy. Please feel free to book a free phone consultation to learn more.

We all grieve differently; there is no right or wrong way to grieve. It is a uniquely personal experience. My therapeutic approach is to meet my clients where they are and address their current needs. That may be sitting in a safe space and expressing your emotions, talking about how life will be different after the loss or focusing on self-care. I will provide guidance, validation, and support but this journey is yours so I will check in with you regularly to ensure that your needs are being met. Please contact me if you would like to book a free consultation.

As loss may be best described as the absence of something valuable, grief is the reaction to this absence. It permeates every area of our lives. The way we experience grief is personal and changes as we adapt to the loss. Feelings of guilt, disbelief, anger, yearning, and sorrow are often present. Going through the stages of grief is difficult. Together, we will explore the healing journey ensuring you are self-companionate while honouring the one’s you have lost and to explore and understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are integrated into your bereavement process. Schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and all-consuming. I provide a compassionate space to fully share your pain, remember and stay connected to those you’ve lost, and explore ways to integrate their presence into your life. Clients gain relief, emotional clarity, and the strength to carry love forward while gradually discovering peace, hope, resilience, and renewed purpose in their daily lives.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

In my practice you will find a safe place to talk about and work through pain, and the feelings of sadness, confusion, guilt, shame and anger that often accompany the experience of grief and loss. Moving through grief and loss is your personal journey that takes time and is experienced uniquely from your own perspective. I provide therapy, counselling and and support for people who have lost a loved one such as a family member, friend or colleague whether through death or the ending of a relationship, those who have lost an important pet or animal companion or people who have experienced a loss that includes a loss of a job or personal identity.
