What is Bereavement Counselling?
Understanding Grief and Trauma Support
Bereavement counselling is a supportive, trauma-informed process that helps individuals navigate the emotional impact of losing a loved one. Whether the loss was recent or occurred years ago, grief can manifest in complex ways—affecting your emotional, mental, and even physical well-being.
At Long Way Home Psychotherapy & Wellness in Toronto, our trauma therapist provides a compassionate space where you can process your grief safely. We specialize in working with those who have experienced sudden or traumatic loss, helping clients:
- Understand and express difficult emotions
- Address the overlap between trauma and grief
- Rebuild a sense of identity and resilience after loss
This work isn’t about “moving on”—it’s about learning to carry your grief while reconnecting with your life in meaningful ways.
Are You Struggling with Traumatic Loss?
Bereavement Counselling Can Help
Experiencing a traumatic loss can leave you feeling disconnected from reality, making it hard to focus on daily tasks or maintain relationships. You might find yourself overwhelmed by constant reminders of the event, feeling a mix of emotional numbness and heightened anxiety that affects your overall well-being.
