Grief Counselling with Kristen

I'm Kristen, a registered counsellor specializing in grief support and loss counselling. My journey to becoming a grief counsellor was not a direct path; I initially had a business background and enjoyed a fulfilling life until everything changed in an instant when my younger sister passed away. I understood that what I was experiencing was called 'grief,' but I was unprepared for how all-encompassing it would become. Grief is raw, messy, lonely, and often misunderstood. My personal experiences with grief have highlighted the significant need for grief education and support within our society.

It's essential to recognize that no two people will grieve in the same way. Grieving is an individual experience, so there is no right or wrong approach—only what feels right for you as you move forward.

I look forward to providing you with the support you need.

Loving Compassion,

Kristen.
