GRIEF COUNSELLING & SUPPORT

You don't have to grieve alone

Grief is a natural response to loss and change; it is not something that needs to be fixed. It comes when we lose someone we love, face a life-altering diagnosis, or experience the end of something that once brought meaning to our lives. In these moments, it’s normal to feel a mix of emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness—along with physical exhaustion or heaviness.

Grief is personal and can look different for everyone. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and no set timeline for how it should unfold. We grieve as we slowly adjust to a new reality, and it takes time as we find a way forward while carrying that meaning with us.

MY APPROACH

Grief is not a problem to be fixed

It is a deeply human response to love and loss. My work is not to rush you through it or hand you a checklist. It is to sit with you, help you understand what you are experiencing, and support you in finding your way forward, at your own pace.

Whether your loss is recent or long-carried, whether it is widely understood or quietly mourned, your grief is valid, and you are welcome here.

“Just where you are - 

That's the place to start !”

ABOUT ME

A counsellor who understands loss

I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work. I have sat with my own grief and I know what it means to feel lost, unheard, and unsure of what comes next.

That experience shapes every conversation I have with the people I support.
