Natasha Bailey (Hawthorn Counselling)
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Clinical Counsellor
Don't be alone in your grief. I can be a compassionate witness. It is normal to feel like the ground underneath your feet is crumbling or that you do not recognize the world you now live in because of the loss you have experienced. It doesn't matter if what or who you lost is gone for good or still in the world but no longer available to you - it is loss nonetheless. Together we can look at what it would mean to adjust to the loss and give space to all sorts of emotions to come up in the process.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Grief is a natural response to a loss. Losses often involve a death of a partner, family member, friend, or pet. Feelings associated with grief vary but can include sadness, anger, guilt, regret, and helplessness. The way in which individuals adapt to a loss depends on a variety of factors such as coping style, age, beliefs, and personality variables. In order to assist clients with working through their grief issues I largely work from the task theory perspective developed by psychologist J.W. Worden. His model is referred to as the Four Tasks of Mourning.
The Tasks of Mourning are as follows:
Task 1: To accept the reality of the loss.
Task 2: To process the pain of grief.
Task 3: To adjust to a life without the deceased.
Adjusting adaptively often includes making external, internal, and spiritual adjustments.
Task 4: To maintain a continuing bond with the deceased while embarking on a new life.
Individuals experiencing grief may be struggling with at least one of the four tasks of mourning. A major reason for the model’s effectiveness is that the tasks imply that clients can actively do something to manage their grief symptoms. As we collaboratively explore the tasks of mourning and identify the areas that are challenging to work through, clients gain an understanding of how their thoughts, emotions, or behaviours have prevented them from adaptively moving through the grief process.
Clients may also notice how their coping styles have prevented them from grieving effectively with past losses. As they move through the tasks of mourning they often develop a sense of control over their lives, which is a crucial step in alleviating feelings of helplessness. Additionally, clients give themselves the permission to embark on a new life while finding meaningful ways of staying connected to what was lost.

Rachel Delos Santos
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP(Qualifying)
In my approach to loss and grief, I primarily use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you process and feel the emotions of your grief fully. Together, we will encourage you to embrace your grief and transform it into something meaningful and resonant, rather than a source of ongoing pain and hurt. Our sessions will focus on exploring and understanding your emotional experiences, allowing you to move through your loss with compassion and support. Additionally, we will incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to equip you with practical skills and tools for day-to-day coping. Through this integrative approach, you will learn to navigate your grief, finding ways to honour your loss while building resilience and inner strength.
