Grief Counselling in Kingston & Nearby Areas
Grief can be overwhelming, lonely, and unpredictable. Whether the loss is recent or years in the past, it’s common to feel stuck between sadness, numbness, anger, confusion, or even guilt. No two people grieve the same way, and no one should have to navigate this experience alone.
​
At Kingston Counselling Clinic, our registered therapists offer compassionate grief counselling for individuals navigating emotional pain, loss, and major life transitions. Our sessions provide a safe, judgment-free space to process grief, understand the emotions underneath it, and take steps toward healing.
Support for Many Forms of Grief
Grief comes from more than the death of a loved one. Grief counselling at our clinic can support those experiencing:
​
-
Loss of a loved one (partner, family member, friend)
-
Divorce or separation
-
Loss of a job, identity, routine, or role
-
Infertility and pregnancy loss
-
Anticipatory grief due to illness
-
Traumatic loss or sudden change
Our therapists recognize grief as a complicated emotional experience, and we tailor each session to your needs, pace, and lived reality.
How Grief Counselling Helps
During grief counselling sessions, your counsellor will guide you to:
Understand and process the emotions of loss
Explore how grief is affecting daily life
Navigate difficult memories or moments
Build coping strategies to move through grief, not avoid it
Reconnect with meaning, identity, and self-compassion
Grief counselling doesn’t erase loss. It helps you carry it differently, with more grounding, resilience, and inner support.
Evidence-Informed & Person-Centered Care
Our approach to grief work draws from clinically recognized frameworks such as:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Trauma-informed practice
Mindfulness-based coping techniques
Narrative therapy, understanding the story of your loss
Sessions are paced gently, with respect for your emotional limits and what feels safe to explore.
