Grief and Loss Counselling Services
Online and In Person Grief Therapy Services in Brantford
West Wellness provides virtual and in person grief counselling services in Brantford and across Ontario.
Grief is a natural response to loss, it is the emotional, mental, spiritual, and potentially physical pain we experience when a loved one passes.
Other losses can also trigger grief, including the ending of a relationship or friendship, the loss of a job or changes in financial security, moving to a new place, a serious illness and changes in your health or the health of a loved one, or retirement.
Understanding Grief and Loss
There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone moves through grief differently and experiences grief differently.
When we experience grief or loss some common emotions include sadness, anger, confusion, denial, or depression. We sometimes struggle to concentrate, lose motivation, feel restless, cry, or engage in activities to distract ourselves. Some physical sensations that can occur with grief include fatigue, nausea, tightness or heaviness in the chest or throat, or weight loss or weight gain. All these experiences are valid and normal.

FAQ
What kinds of loss do you support?
Grief isn’t limited to death. I support loss related to miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, identity changes, relationship loss, and life transitions.
How long does grief last?
There is no timeline for grief. Therapy helps you carry it in a way that feels more manageable, rather than trying to “move on.”
What if I feel stuck in my grief?
Feeling stuck is often a sign that your grief needs space, support, and processing. Therapy can help you move through it safely.
Is it normal to feel anger or numbness in grief?
Yes. Grief can include anger, numbness, guilt, relief, and everything in between. All of it is valid.
Do I have to talk about my loss every session?
No. We follow your pace and what feels most helpful each time.
