About Us

At This Thing Called Grief, creating a space where people feel at home is incredibly important to us. Time and time again, clients tell us that as soon as they walk through our doors, they feel a little calmer, a little lighter, and a little more at ease.

That feeling is not accidental. Many of us have sat in spaces during some of life's most difficult moments, times that felt uncertain, overwhelming, and deeply painful. We understand what it feels like to search for answers, to carry grief, and to wonder how you will make it through another day.

The truth is, many of us did not choose this work. Our lived experiences chose it for us. Through our own journeys of loss, caregiving, illness, trauma, and life transitions, we learned firsthand the value of being met with compassion and understanding. Those experiences shaped not only who we are, but how we care for others.

From the moment you arrive, our hope is that you feel safe, welcomed, and cared for. Whether you are greeted by a counsellor, a student, a volunteer, or a member of our wellness team, you will find someone who genuinely cares. Compassion, empathy, and kindness are at the heart of everything we do.

We want our space to feel like a place where you can exhale. A place where you don't have to pretend you're okay. A place where you are met exactly where you are, without judgment and without expectation.

Above all, we want you to know that when you walk through our doors, you are not just another appointment. You are a person, your story matters, and you never have to carry it alone.
