Grief and Loss Counselling in Ontario
Grief counselling at Mindful Comeback Therapy supports people through the death of a loved one, pregnancy loss, divorce, estrangement and other losses that change your life. Rubina Gogna, Registered Psychotherapist, gives your grief room without rushing it, and helps you find steadier ground. Sessions are virtual anywhere in Ontario, or in person at our Ajax office.
What grief can feel like
Grief is a natural response to loss, and it rarely follows a neat path. It can come in waves, show up in your body, and change how you see yourself and the future.
- Sadness, anger, guilt or numbness
- Trouble sleeping, eating or focusing
- Replaying what happened, or what you wish you had said
- Feeling disconnected from people around you
- Physical exhaustion and heaviness
Kinds of loss I support
- The death of a loved one
- Prolonged Grief Disorder and complicated grief
- The end of a relationship, separation or divorce
- Loss of a job, career or sense of identity
- Moving away from family, community or your home country
- The loss of a pet
There is no right way to grieve and no deadline. Therapy gives you space to feel what you feel, make sense of the loss, and slowly find a way to carry it.
How we work through grief
- Space to talk about the person, relationship or life you lost
- EMDR and somatic therapy when the loss was sudden or traumatic
- ACT to reconnect with meaning and values
- Care for cultural and family expectations around grief and mourning
What to expect
Your first step is a free 15 minute phone consult. We go at your pace. Sessions are virtual across Ontario, with in person sessions at my Ajax office.
