A message worth sharing. Grief is not something we “fix”. Grief is not a problem to solve. It is something we integrate.

Our focus in grief counselling is facilitating this integration and accompanying you on this journey.

This is a useful tool in identifying the key steps needed to transform shame with self compassion.

If one is mired in shame, it is often difficult to find a way out of it. The very idea of being kind to oneself can feel undeserved and uncomfortable.
