How Does Grief Counselling Work?
For grief counselling in Calgary, our psychologists make use of a variety of treatment approaches, from person-centred experiential therapies to more structured cognitive-behavioural approaches. During your first meeting with your recommended or chosen psychologist, the focus will be on encouraging you to discuss your grief experience and how it affects your daily life in a way that you feel comfortable. After the initial visit, your psychologist will work with you in developing a treatment plan that allows you to heal safely, develop your inner strength, and return to your regular routine. Let our Calgary psychologists give you the tools to heal effectively.

You Can Overcome
Despair
Efforts to cope with despair can lead to many unhealthy habits, such as overeating, lashing out, or feeling hopeless. These negative behaviours can have a cumulative effect that prevents you from moving forward. Let us help you discover effective ways to deal with your despair and prevent it from derailing your life.
Loneliness
The feelings of loneliness that come with grief are isolating and burdensome. They may prolong the grieving period and lead to feelings of being stuck in place. We can support you in the healing process through guidance and examination of your beliefs or ideas around loss and grief. We may use several methods of counselling, including anger management in Calgary, to best assist you in moving through your grief.
Physical Symptoms
Many adverse effects can develop alongside grief. Insomnia, overeating, lack of appetite, self-harm, reckless behaviours and other unhealthy habits may start to overtake some aspects of your life. It is important to seek assistance if you find these habits persisting for long periods of time. Our psychologists can support you in developing strategies for reversing these patterns and getting back to the person you want to be.
Direct Billing
We believe in removing barriers to accessing treatment. We can direct bill many major insurance companies to ensure your experience with us is more convenient and stress-free.
Our Care Approach

How Can I Support
Others in Their Grief?
Grief affects everyone differently, and what you find supportive may be less helpful to a loved one struggling with grief. The best way to aid your family members as they cope with loss is through compassion and empathy. Ask them how you can understand and respect their boundaries. The goal is to be as supportive as possible. If you are coping with your own grief, remember that it is important to find an outlet for your pain; “being the rock” can worsen the situation.
Grief is a natural feeling of intense sadness and there are many causes for it, such as the loss of loved ones, pets and relationships.
Your psychologist will always encourage you to communicate in a way and at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
Feelings of grief wax and wane over time, but working through the debilitating impact of grief is possible and achievable. Our psychologists can help you move through your grief and find a way forward that feels right.
