Grief and Loss Counselling in Haldimand County, ON.

I Guide my clients through therapeutic art-making combined with talking therapy to tackle grief & loss in their lives. I may or may not direct my clients on what pieces of art to make to help them through their grieving process. The benefits of an Art Therapy approach to grief & loss is that it gives my clients another outlet for expressing difficult feelings, helps them find healthy ways of coping, and allows them to create meaningful pieces of art to commemorate their memories of their loved ones. I allow my clients to be the experts on their feelings, and allow the art sessions to flow naturally based on where they are in their grieving process.

Loss of a loved one is often one of those most challenging hard ships that we face. Although many try to prepare for loss, we are often faced with more than sadness and emptiness, but with feelings of guilt, anger, disappointment. Therapy can help an individual come to terms with their loss and learn to rebuild life. Although we will not ever forget those who have been close to us, the memories associated with their lives will feel less painful with time.

The experience of pain following the loss of a loved one or something deeply cherished can be incredibly intense. Some individuals have described this pain as piercing, difficult, gripping, numb, brutal, awful, or complex. Others have found it difficult to put into words. It's natural to wish that there was a way to avoid or minimize this pain, but some people are adept at delaying or concealing their suffering. However, it's essential to recognize that this approach may only postpone the healing process. While it may sound firm, the truth is that facing and working through the pain is essential for the healing process. Accepting new clients!

Grief is the emotional suffering we feel when we lose something or someone important to us. This can include the loss of friend, partner, or family member, a change in life circumstances, death of a pet, getting fired, loss of health, safety, a dream... anything that we once had and now do not. The intensity and process can be unique for each person, but like all other emotions that impact the quality of our life, ignoring it or suppressing it does not work. Seeking support as we move through the various stages of grief is very helpful. Planning for our healing is crucial so that we do not become 'stuck' in the pain. A skilled therapist can assist us during this vulnerable time.

Life is a wonderful journey. Everyone has events that occur that can create waves of grief and loss. The pain may feel unbearable. These are times where we can learn profound life lessons about love, strength, and resilience. I approach Grief & Loss Therapy not as a time to "fix" or "cure" you of your pain, but as a partner to walk with you as you travel through your valleys of loss and sorrow.

When we lose someone we love, our relationship with them doesn’t need to end. Your loved one is still very much a part of life. Grief counselling can give you a safe place to talk about your loved one, any regrets you are holding on to and resolve any guilt you may be feeling. Grief counseling can help you with “stuck points” and help you oscillate between sorrow and function.

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.

Processing loss is painful, confusing and often isolating. This is not something that is as simple as progressing through "stages" in order and typically involves emotions that we have been taught to avoid or suppress. Working with a therapist to unpack and go through grief and loss can offer some space and perspective that is not there when we talk with friends and family. Here you can have a non-judgmental space to take the time to work this out in the way that you need. This is not always easy, but we can navigate this together.

Instead, through an empathetic relationship I facilitate your growth and help you adapt to life’s pain and challenges.
