Loss can change everything. Grief counselling gives you a steady, compassionate space to feel what you feel, honour who or what you have lost, and find a way to carry it forward.

Quick answer
Grief counselling is support for the emotional, physical and practical impact of loss. A counsellor helps you express difficult feelings, understand your grief, cope with daily life and adjust to a world that has changed. It can help after a death, but also after divorce, pregnancy loss, a diagnosis, migration or other major losses.
There is no right way or set timeline to grieve. Counselling does not try to make you “move on”; it helps you find ways to live alongside the loss.
Is this right for you?
Grief is a natural response to loss. Support can help when grief feels overwhelming, stuck or isolating.
Sadness, anger, guilt or numbness that feels overwhelming or comes without warning.
Struggling to work, sleep, eat or manage daily responsibilities.
Grief that feels as intense months later, or that you cannot begin to process.
Replaying events or blaming yourself for what happened.
Feeling that others do not understand, or pulling away from people around you.
Loss through accident, suicide, violence or sudden illness, which can complicate grief.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions and see if we are the right fit. No referral is needed.
How we help
Every loss is unique. We follow your lead and respect your cultural, spiritual and family traditions around death and mourning.
Sessions are usually 50 to 60 minutes, in person at our South Edmonton office or online by secure video anywhere in Alberta.
Talking about the person or what you have lost, and the feelings that come with it, helps grief move rather than stay stuck.
Practical strategies for sleep, anniversaries, family dynamics and the many firsts after a loss.
Exploring how to stay connected to who you lost while rebuilding a life with purpose, using approaches such as meaning-making and CBT skills for guilt or painful thoughts.

There is no right time. Some people reach out within weeks, others months or years later. If grief is overwhelming, affecting your daily life, or you simply want support, it is a good time to start.
That is completely okay. Crying is a natural part of grief, and sessions are a safe space to let feelings out without judgment.
Grief can include sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, relief and physical symptoms such as fatigue. Most of these are normal. If grief stays very intense and disruptive for a long time, it may be prolonged grief, which counselling can help with.
Yes. We support individuals, couples and families, and can help parents talk with children and teens about loss in age-appropriate ways.
