Professional Grief Support

Everyone experiences grief in their own way. Your relationship with the person who died was unique and, therefore, your grief will be unique.

Hi, I'm Diane

I hold a B.A. in Thanatology, the study of dying, death, and bereavement, from Western University, and bring over 25 years of providing compassionate grief counselling as the founder and principal of Good Grief Support. We offer one-on-one support through psychotherapy (talk therapy) and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), as well as leading and facilitating loss support grief groups.

My experience also includes certifications in Bereavement Education and Cognitive Behaviour, and Children’s Grief and Bereavement from the University of Toronto, and SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health. I am a member of the Bereavement Ontario Network. As a bereaved parent, I bring experiences from my own personal grief journey to my practice in order to help support others on their own journeys.

Offerings

As a Professional Grief Counsellor, I will provide:
A non-judgmental, safe, and emotionally comfortable space for you
Effective coping tools to manage difficult days, events, and occasions
Help to develop an action plan to help you move forward honouring your loved one
Opportunity to develop a personally unique plan for your grief
Engagement with trained professionals if you require additional support
My job is not to fix your broken heart, but to teach you how to live with it.

Together, we will journey to develop ways to stay ‘continually bonded’ with the person you are missing, while defining rituals that provide opportunities to honour your loved one.

Learning what triggers your grief, developing a proactive plan, and giving yourself permission to acknowledge all feelings associated with your grief.
