What is grief and loss counselling?

When facing any kind of loss, it can involve a range of feelings including sadness, confusion, and anger. The process of adjusting to any big loss can differ extensively from one person to the other. It usually has to do with each person’s personal history, beliefs, and connection to what is lost.

The various feelings, beliefs, and behaviours people let out while grieving can be divided into two primary types:

01

Instrumental Grieving

Primarily focuses on tasks that solve problems, usually having to do with controlling or reducing emotional release.

02

Intuitive Grieving

Involves a more hyperactive emotional experience that has to do with sharing feelings, exploring past experiences, and pondering mortality.

A majority of people feel a mixture of the two grieving styles, and no one style is better than the other. Every person has their own mental and emotional needs that have to be met differently. There is no right way of grieving.

Benefits of Grief Counselling

When it comes to coping with traumatic loss, working with a grief counsellor or psychotherapist can have many benefits.

Finding effective, positive ways to handle difficulties in day-to-day life

Building or repairing your meaningful relationships

Gaining relief from lasting effects of mental or physical trauma

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism

I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….

On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.

This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.

I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.

Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
