Grief Therapy Online Ontario | Counselling for Any Loss
Grief is not only about death. It is about any meaningful loss, the loss of a person, a role, a future you imagined, or a way of being in the world. It can feel like sadness, anger, silence, confusion, or numbness. Sometimes it is loud and washes over you in unexpected waves, of fear and paralysis. Other times, it is quiet and invisible, hiding behind responsibilities and routines that feel heavy but a welcome distraction.
Find Online Grief Therapy in Ontario
Grief does not only follow the death of someone you love. Loss takes many forms, and it can dismantle daily life in ways that are hard to explain to others. People seek grief therapy after a divorce, job loss, estrangement, medical diagnosis, or the slow changes of aging and caregiving. Online grief therapy provides a private, supportive space where you can process these changes from your own home anywhere in Ontario. There is no right way to grieve. There is only your way shaped by your story, your beliefs, and your relationship to what has been lost.
Types of Loss I Support:
Everyone’s grief story is unique, yet there are common patterns that often show up:
Bereavement: The death of a spouse, parent, child, or friend can leave you disoriented, with a sense that life itself has broken.
Ambiguous loss: Grief without closure, such as when a loved one is living with dementia, addiction, or absence.
Identity loss: Many professionals, caregivers, and parents feel grief when roles shift, retirement arrives, or illness alters what was once possible.
Prolonged grief: Sometimes grief does not ease with time. If months or years later you remain overwhelmed, therapy can help restore functioning while honoring your bond with what was lost.
Recognizing the type of grief you carry is the first step in working toward healing.
Grief feels heavy. You might notice iT in your chest and shoulders.
How Online Grief Therapy Helps
I offer a compassionate space where your grief is not pathologized or rushed. My approach integrates therapeutic tools with presence, meaning-making, and narrative practice. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, spiritual care theory, and the research on continuing bonds and adaptive grief. Grief therapy is a place to process and learn how to carry what has changed with honesty, care, and a growing sense of self.
“Grief feels like needing to get to the other side of the mountain, and all I have is a pic axe”

A Narrative Approach to Loss
Grief shows up differently for everyone. You may be carrying deep sorrow or feeling surprisingly detached. Both are welcome.
Online grief counselling offers the same therapeutic depth as in-person sessions, with the added benefit of accessibility across Kitchener, Toronto, the GTA, and the rest of Ontario. Sessions are typically 50 minutes and include practical tools such as:
Narrative therapy to help you tell and reframe your story of loss.
Journaling and memory-based exercises to create tangible ways of holding on and letting go.
Meaning-making practices that guide you in finding purpose or connection after loss.
Mind-body strategies that ease the physical toll grief takes on sleep, appetite, and energy.
These approaches meet you where you are, whether your grief feels raw, complicated, or distant but unfinished.
What you Can Expect
Our sessions are spacious and client-led. Some days may involve silence, or tears, or reflection. Other sessions may involve naming what you want next. It is important to build a relationship of trust so you can begin to understand your grief and learn to live with it more intentionally. I bring experience from hospitals, hospices, and community grief care. I also teach others how to companion with the grieving people they care for. This work is sacred to me.
Book a session when you feel ready. You can also explore my burnout page for caregivers and professionals.
If you’re not ready to book now, I encourage you to read, reflect, and return when the time is right.
