Grief & Loss Counselling

55 or 85 Minute Sessions

There’s no right way to grieve…Only your way.

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. It doesn’t look the same for everyone. And it can show up long after the world expects you to be “okay.” Whether you’re mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the quiet loss of the life you imagined, grief deserves space, and so do you.

At Tideline Wellness, we offer grief and loss counselling that meets you where you are: raw, numb, angry, exhausted, hopeful, or unsure. You don’t have to carry it alone.

What is Grief Counselling?

Grief counselling offers a compassionate space to process the emotional, mental, and even physical impact of loss. It’s not about rushing you through stages or telling you how to feel. It’s about honoring your experience, helping you make meaning, and offering tools to navigate life as it looks now.

Loss doesn’t always mean death. It might be:

• The end of a marriage or long-term relationship

• Loss of a pet, a home, or a sense of identity

• Miscarriage, infertility, or medical trauma

• Loss of routine, career, or health

• Ambiguous grief (estranged family, lost opportunities, aging parents)

No matter what you’re grieving, your pain is valid. There’s room here for all of it.

How Grief Counselling Can Help:

• Make sense of complex emotions (guilt, anger, relief, longing)

• Process trauma tied to the loss

• Cope with isolation or disconnection from others

• Find new ways to honour what was and hold onto what matters

• Learn to carry your grief without being consumed by it

• Rebuild meaning, identity, and stability after life changes

You don’t need to “move on” or “get over it.” What you need is space to move through it, at your own pace.

Specialized Grief Counselling Services

Children & Teen Grief Counselling

Grief is hard to navigate at any age, but it can feel especially confusing for children and teens. They may not have the language to express their emotions, or they might act out, shut down, or seem unaffected—while carrying deep pain beneath the surface.

We provide a safe, age-appropriate space where young people can explore their feelings, process the loss, and learn emotional tools that support healthy coping. Using talk therapy, play, creativity, and mindfulness, we meet them where they are, and help them feel safe to feel again.

Whether they’ve lost a loved one, a pet, or experienced another major life disruption—support makes a difference.

Grief After Suicide Loss

Losing someone to suicide brings a unique and often complicated form of grief. You may be left with questions, guilt, confusion, anger, or a deep sense of isolation. It’s common to feel like others don’t understand, or to struggle with talking openly about the loss.

At Tideline Wellness, we create a safe, compassionate space where you can process the pain at your own pace—without shame or judgment. We’ll work with you to honour your grief, untangle complex emotions, and find a way forward that feels grounded, gentle, and real.

You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry this silently.

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Counselling

The loss of a pregnancy or infant is a heartbreak that is often invisible to the outside world, but deeply felt within. Whether it was a miscarriage, stillbirth, medical termination, or neonatal loss, your grief is valid. The dreams, the plans, the hope…gone too soon.

We provide space to mourn, reflect, and begin healing. This type of loss carries layers—grief, trauma, isolation, even guilt, and we hold space for all of it. Whether you’re navigating it with a partner or on your own, we walk beside you through this sacred and difficult chapter.

You are allowed to grieve. You are allowed to heal.

When You’re Ready, We’re Here

Grief may change shape over time, but it doesn’t disappear. With the right support, it becomes something you learn to carry with strength, love, and compassion.
