Therapy for grief and loss

Coping with
loss is painful

There’s no right way to grieve.
Together, we can find what helps.

What grief feels like

Grief affects everyone differently, but it can bring a mix of emotions that feel difficult to manage. You might experience:

  • A deep sense of emptiness or longing

  • Intense waves of sadness, anger, or guilt

  • Trouble sleeping, focusing, or feeling present

  • Disconnection from others, even those offering support

  • Keeping busy to avoid thinking about the loss

Grief doesn’t follow a straight path, and there’s no right way to feel.

But you don’t have to figure it out alone.

How therapy can help

Grief isn’t something to "get over" - it’s something to move through. Therapy can help by:

Providing a space to talk: without pressure, judgment, or expectations.

Understanding your emotions: sorting through sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion.

Adjusting to life after loss: finding ways to rebuild meaning and connection.

Coping with difficult days: learning strategies to navigate tough moments.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about coping with grief and loss and how we might work together.

How long is each therapy session?

Each session lasts 50 minutes, whether in person or online. This gives us time to explore what’s going on for you, at your pace, without feeling rushed.

What if therapy doesn’t feel right for me?

That’s okay. You’re welcome to try a session and see how it feels. Therapy is a process, and it’s important that it feels like a good fit for you.

Do you offer online therapy sessions?

Yes. Online therapy is available if you’d prefer to talk from home. It’s a flexible option that offers the same support as in-person sessions.

What happens in the first session?

We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and what support you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to go into everything — we can start slowly.

How can therapy help with grief?

Grief therapy offers a safe space to express what you’re feeling, process the loss, and start to find meaning and connection again - in your own time.

Is there a right time to start grief therapy?

There’s no ‘right’ time. Some people come to therapy soon after a loss, others wait months or years. You’re welcome whenever you’re ready.

What if I feel numb or like I can’t cry?

That’s a completely normal part of grief. Therapy can help you explore what you are feeling, even if it doesn’t look how you expected.

Does grief ever really go away?

Grief often changes rather than disappears. In therapy, we work toward making space for your loss while helping you re-engage with life.
