Grief and Bereavement Counselling
Loss is a natural part of life. Coping with feelings of grief that come with loss is slow, hard work. Most people feel strengthened, encouraged and supported when they learn about grief, understand how it affects them, and learn ways to help themselves through the grief experience.
​
Grief is like the ocean but with the right support and guidance you can navigate the turbulent waters that threaten to swallow you whole Let yourself feel the waves of emotions, but remember that you are not alone in this journey. Lean on your loved ones and seek help when needed. Healing takes time, but with patience and the right support, you will find peace in the midst of the storm.
​
I offer full circle grief counselling for groups and individuals, both in person and virtually. You don't have to navigate these waters alone. Contact me today.
Nature Walks and Coffee Shops
A lot of times, people will feel uncomfortable in an office or a group discussing their feelings and situations. This can hinder healing from grief. We offer instead, counselling session nature walks, or in a coffee shop for a less structured, more personal approach to helping you heal. This coincides with our companioning approach to grief counselling. Contact us if this is something that interests you.
Workshops and Retreats
We frequently offer workshops using art therapy and other forms of holistic healing as well as day and weekend retreats in nature where healing can take place using various forms of connection with the world around us and with others. Follow our Facebook page for dates and times.
"Choose grief. And as you walk with your grief, actively mourn. Cry when you need to, call a friend when you feel overwhelmed, join a grief support group, express yourself through writing, music, dance, or sports. By taking action, you will eventually integrate the death of your loved one into your life. In exchange, you will find the hope, courage, and desire to once again live a full and rewarding life" - Dr. Alan Wolfelt
Our Approach
At Hope Harbour Healing, we are dedicated to providing personalized and empathetic support to individuals navigating grief and bereavement. Our approach integrates evidence-based techniques and a deep understanding of the unique emotional needs of each client. We believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their feelings, find strength, and embark on a journey towards healing and hope.
​
Here at Hope Harbour Healing we use Dr. Alan Wolfelt's companioning approach to grieving. This is a way to support someone who is grieving by being present and listening to them. It's based on the idea that the bereaved person is the expert on their own experience.
How it works:
​
-
We create a safe space: Offer a compassionate and open heart to the person who is grieving
-
Learn and observe: We become familiar with the person's story and experiences
-
Don't try to fix: companioning is about being present with the person's pain, not taking it away
-
Respect confusion: Don't impose order or logic on the person's experience
