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.

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.
