CHILDREN

 
 

Every loss is unique, thus every child’s experience is unique.

If you are reading this, there is a likelihood that a child in your life has been impacted by one or more loss experiences. It is our goal to assist you and your child in understanding, processing, and healing from the painful, distressing, or traumatic event(s) that they experienced.


A change in behaviour is a common reaction to loss.

Your child may be experiencing the following symptoms of grief and trauma:

  • Afraid to try new things

  • Alcohol or drug misuse, abuse, or dependence

  • Aggressive behaviours including hitting, kicking, or biting

  • Difficulty adjusting to social situations or new situations

  • Difficulty following direction or expectations

  • Disclosure of suicidal thoughts

  • Engaging in self harm practices like cutting or burning

  • Extreme weight loss or gain

  • Frequent or constant worry or anxiety

  • Less interested in activities they once enjoyed

  • Noticeable or sudden loss of appetite

  • Physical complaints, despite being checked by a physician

  • Recurring nightmares, night terrors, or difficulty sleeping

  • Refuse to attend school

  • Struggling to focus and complete tasks in school

  • Stomachaches

  • Socially withdrawn


We have the tools to help your child heal and move beyond the pain.

To watch a child grieve or struggle with a distressing experience and not know what to do can be feel profoundly overwhelming and difficult, regardless of the role that you play in the child’s life.

We are a team of warm and compassionate therapists who specialize in grief counselling. Our healing approach is heart-centred, emotionally-focused, and action-oriented. We utilize highly-structured, evidence-informed methodologies that will equip you and your child with the emotional and intellectual tools to complete the pain caused by grief or trauma and develop a lifelong healthy response to loss.
