Montreal Grief Counsellors | Natalie Segall

About

I have many years of experience in counselling and guiding individuals, families, and caregivers who are experiencing grief and loss issues. I offer a safe, peaceful, confidential, non-judgmental space, where my clients can express, process, and work through their loss and grief issues. The process we embark on together will help guide individuals towards a healthy balance along with their grief journey.

Why Should You Consult A Grief Counsellor?

It is important to understand that a grief counsellor is different from a social worker, psychologist, psychotherapist, or any other type of counsellor or therapist. A grief counsellor specializes in – and has devoted years of study and training to - thanatology, which is the intensive study of loss, grief, bereavement, mourning, death, dying, and palliative care.

Grief affects different people in different ways, and the grief journey is a highly personal one. Some individuals are unable to address their grief, for such reasons as the stresses and pressures of life, health issues, denial, and trauma. This phenomenon of being stuck in grief is called being frozen, and the feelings of loss, depression, and emptiness can become debilitating. The unaddressed intense emotional pain caused by the death of a loved one can manifest itself as an underlying cause of physical and mental health problems, both immediate and future.
