Counselling with Emily

Losing a pet can be a deeply emotional experience. For some people, pets are cherished members of the family, and their loss can bring feelings of grief, sadness and other complex emotions.

This week’s session is focused on Coping with Pet Loss. Together, we’ll explore:

✔️ Understanding the emotional impact of losing a pet.

✔️ The different emotions that can arise during the grieving process and why they are all valid.

✔️ Healthy coping strategies to help navigate grief and support your mental well-being.

✔️ A safe, judgement-free space to learn, reflect and connect with others who may be experiencing similar feelings.

sessions are open, welcoming spaces to learn more about mental health and access helpful resources. This session offers a supportive environment to better understand pet loss, build healthy coping skills and gain knowledge to support your overall well-being.

Like and comment FREE ASSERTIVE and I’ll send you the link to this FREE communication skills download.

One of the biggest misconceptions about I-messages is that simply starting a sentence with “I” automatically makes it healthy communication. But kids (and honestly adults too) often use “I feel…” statements that still sound blaming, defensive, or attacking.

This free SEL visual is such a helpful reminder that assertiveness is really about expressing thoughts and feelings clearly while still respecting the other person. It teaches students how to communicate honestly without escalating conflict, shutting down, or hurting relationships.

These are the kinds of emotional regulation and communication skills that truly impact friendships, classroom behavior, self-esteem, conflict resolution, and problem-solving long term.

Perfect for SEL lessons, school counseling groups, calm corners, behavior interventions, restorative conversations, and classroom discussions about healthy communication.

The last few months have been full in the best way!

I’ve completed my practicum, graduated from Yorkville University with my Master’s in Counselling Psychology, spent the last few months substituting in guidance, and had the opportunity to celebrate some meaningful milestones with the people I love 🥹⚡️ I did it!!

I had to take a step back from creating and sharing content because HoLY CoW🐮 life was busy & stressful (good & bad) and I wanted to be fully present for this season of life and give my energy to the people, experiences, and moments that mattered most!!

Now, I’m excited to be back to share some updates ⚡️

I’m currently welcoming new child, tween, and teen clients, and I’m continuing to deepen my knowledge through ongoing training and evidence-based approaches so I can continue providing thoughtful, ethical, compassionate, and informed support to the young people and families I work with!

I’m so grateful you’re here, and I can’t wait to share more of my counselling approach and journey with you 🤘😬

If you’re thinking about starting therapy for your child or teen, you’re welcome to reach out for a free consult. I’m currently accepting new clients. 🩵 Click the link in my bio to learn more and connect or by email.

Self care is bubble baths AND making that appointment you've been putting off forever. Both count. All of it counts. Even looking at your bank account when you really don't want to. Especially that one actually. If it's taking care of you (even if it's unpleasant) it counts.
