Grief counselling in Ottawa

Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn't make it easier to live with. Whether you've lost someone you love, a relationship, a job or the life you expected, the weight of it can affect your body, your mind and your relationships. You don't have to work through it alone.

Losses we help with

  • The death of a partner, parent, child, friend or pet

  • Pregnancy loss and infertility

  • Separation, divorce or the end of a relationship

  • Job loss, retirement or leaving the military

  • Caring for a loved one with a long illness or dementia

  • Changes in health, ability or identity

How therapy can help

There's no right way or timeline to grieve. Therapy gives you space to feel what you feel, make sense of the loss and find ways to carry it as you move forward. We work with individuals, couples and families, since a loss often affects everyone in a household differently.
