MY APPROACH.
Holistic and Truly Personal
My approach to grief counselling is compassionate, holistic, and deeply personalized. Along with my professional training and years of counselling experience, I bring the wisdom gained through my own experiences with grief, loss, and life's profound transitions. I integrate evidence-informed counselling approaches with complementary healing practices to support the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit.
Grief and bereavement touch every part of who we are. My commitment is to provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can express your grief openly and authentically, knowing you will be met with compassion and respect. I welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures, spiritual beliefs, gender identities, sexual orientations, and family structures.
I believe there is no right or wrong way to grieve, and no timeline for healing. Every person's experience is unique. That is why I meet you exactly where you are in each session, honouring your story, your strengths, and your own way of navigating loss.
MY GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Personalized attention
Everyone is welcome
Everyone is received with equal care and respect.
Integrative approach
Healing requires attention to the whole person, not just one part of you.
No one-size-fits-all
Every person grieves differently, and every loss carries its own meaning. We move at your pace.
Grief is not a problem
I am here to listen, validate and help you integrate your loss and not to "fix you" so you can "move on".
Warm
Every conversation is held with genuine care and human warmth.
Compassionate
Your pain is met with deep empathy, never judgment.
Open-minded
Your grief, in all its forms, is welcome here.
Inclusive
Every story is welcomed with respect and compassion.
Talking & Walking
Outdoors
Experience counselling in the calming presence of nature.
These outdoor sessions combine compassionate therapeutic support with the restorative benefits of walking, offering a gentle and reflective space to process grief, life transitions, and other challenges.
There is nothing quite like integrating a love for dogs and nature into a Walk and Talk Session. Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen when we are moving through the world rather than sitting still.
If walking in nature feels like the right setting for your sessions, I would love to explore that option with you.
REASONS FOR SEEKING GRIEF COUNSELLING
Give yourself permission to feel, explore, and begin to move forward
Thanatology and Grief Counselling is a form of therapy that helps the bereaved explore their distress and confusing feelings without judgment or rush. In my sessions, I hold space for you to allow the process, easing the fear that you are losing your mind, and help you understand the nature and dynamics of grief.
I aim to always open windows for personal growth, at your own pace.
GETTING STARTED
Finding the right counsellor for you
Finding the right counsellor, end-of-life educator, and cancer coach is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Research consistently shows that the quality of the relationship between you and your counsellor is one of the strongest predictors of a positive therapeutic experience.
That is why I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation before you schedule your first appointment. This is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, for you to share what brings you here, ask any questions you may have, and explore whether my approach feels like the right fit for your needs.
There is no obligation and no pressure, just a warm, supportive conversation to help you make the decision that feels right for you.
What to expect
Your free 15-minute discovery call is relaxed and informal. Here is how it works:
