Grief & Loss
Grief Deserves Compassion, Not a Timeline
At Soma Clinical Counselling, we understand that grief is not something you simply “move on” from — it is something you learn to carry with support, compassion, and care. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, a traumatic loss, or a major life transition, therapy can provide a space to process emotions that may feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating.
Grief affects every part of us — emotionally, mentally, physically, and relationally. You may feel sadness, numbness, anger, anxiety, guilt, exhaustion, or even disconnected from yourself and others. There is no “right” timeline for healing, and no two grief experiences look the same.
Our therapists offer grief and loss counselling for individuals in North Vancouver and across British Columbia through a compassionate, trauma-informed, and attachment-based approach designed to help you feel supported while navigating profound change and emotional pain.
What Grief Can Look Like
Grief is not limited to death. Many life experiences can create deep emotional loss and disruption:
Death of a loved one
Anticipatory grief
Loss after illness or caregiving
Divorce or relationship breakdown
Infertility, miscarriage, or pregnancy loss
Loss of identity or purpose
Family estrangement
Pet loss
Career loss or retirement
Trauma and complicated grief
Major life transitions
Childhood grief experiences resurfacing in adulthood
Our Approach to Grief & Loss Therapy
At Soma Clinical Counselling, we recognize that grief impacts both the mind and body. Our approach integrates evidence-based and nervous system focused therapies to support healing at a deeper level.
Depending on your needs, therapy may include:
-
Helping clients process emotions, attachment wounds, and relational pain connected to grief and loss.
-
Supporting nervous system regulation and helping clients reconnect with their bodies after trauma, shock, or prolonged emotional stress.
-
Exploring protective parts, unresolved pain, and inner experiences that emerge during grief.
-
Brainspotting works from a neurobiological and somatic perspective, helping clients notice and process emotional experiences held within the body.
Grief, Attachment, and Relationships
Loss can deeply impact how safe and connected we feel in relationships. Grief often activates attachment wounds, fears of abandonment, loneliness, or emotional withdrawal. You may notice yourself pulling away from others, struggling to express emotions, or feeling fearful of future loss.
Attachment-focused therapy helps clients understand these emotional responses with compassion rather than judgment. Together, we explore how grief shapes your emotional world and relationships while helping you rebuild a sense of safety and connection.
