Grief and Loss Therapy
Are You Struggling to Cope with the Loss of Someone or Something Important?
Have you experienced the death of a loved one, a miscarriage, a divorce, or another life-altering loss that’s left you feeling overwhelmed, numb, or heartbroken? Do everyday tasks feel heavier, and are you finding it difficult to explain your pain to others? Maybe your grief comes in waves — some days manageable, others filled with intense emotion or emptiness.
Grief is not just sadness — it’s a complex, personal experience that can affect your body, mind, relationships, and sense of identity. There is no “right way” to grieve, and yet so many people feel pressure to move on or hide how deeply they’re hurting. Therapy can offer a compassionate space to process your grief, make sense of what you’re feeling, and begin healing at your own pace.

Grief Comes in Many Forms — And You Are Not Alone
Loss touches every life, and yet it often feels isolating when you’re in the midst of it. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of health, or even the grief that comes with major life transitions, your pain is valid. Studies show that 10-20% of grieving individuals experience what’s known as complicated grief — a prolonged, intense grieving process that can significantly impact daily functioning.
Many people struggle with guilt, regret, or even relief, all of which are normal but often confusing emotions. Others experience physical symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, or changes in appetite. Still others feel disconnected or lost, unsure of who they are without the person or situation they’ve lost. Grief looks different for everyone — but you don’t have to carry it alone.
How Therapy Helps You Process Grief and Begin to Heal
Grief therapy doesn’t try to rush your process or offer simple answers. It meets you where you are, helping you explore the many layers of your experience in a safe, supportive space. Our therapists use a compassionate and integrative approach that includes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to process deep emotional pain, Narrative Therapy to help you reframe your story of loss, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support your ability to move forward while still honouring your grief.
In grief therapy, we may:
Create space for you to speak freely about your loss and the emotions tied to it.
Explore your unique grieving process without judgment or pressure.
Identify unspoken or complicated emotions such as guilt, anger, or fear.
Work through unresolved aspects of your relationship or experience with the loss.
Rebuild a sense of meaning, purpose, and connection in life after loss.
Healing from grief isn’t about forgetting or letting go of the person or part of life you’ve lost. It’s about learning how to carry your grief with you in a way that allows for both remembrance and renewal. Therapy offers guidance, comfort, and hope as you move through this deeply personal journey.
Common Concerns About Grief Therapy
-
Grief is natural, but that doesn’t mean you have to face it alone. Therapy helps when grief feels overwhelming, stuck, or confusing—especially when it interferes with your daily life or emotional well-being.
-
You don’t need to have the right words or be emotionally composed. Therapy gives you permission to feel and express whatever is there, at your own pace.
-
Everyone grieves differently, and there’s no timeline for healing. Therapy helps you honour your grief, even if others don’t understand it.
You Don’t Have to Grieve Alone
