Counselling Bruce County

Grief isn’t just about death. It shows up in the friendships that couldn’t grow with you, the childhood you didn’t get, the years you spent in survival mode, or the version of yourself who tolerated too much. It can be losing opportunities, people, or even parts of yourself you thought would always be there. These invisible losses are just as heavy—and they deserve compassion too. Healing means honoring every kind of grief, not just the ones others can see. 💕

Welcome Kelsey to Counselling Bruce County's new Kincardine location 🤗 Kelsey is a registered Art Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)🎨

Here are some words from Kelsey on her approach:

With adults, I work from a feminist, client-centred approach, tailoring each session to fit your needs. I am direct, empathetic, and calm, striving to create a safe and supportive space for you. We may chat, have free art making time to express what words cannot, use guided visualizations to inspire and reach into those deeper parts yourself, or follow a structured directive that could help you better understand your journey.

With children, I use art and play techniques to help them express their emotions when they do not have the words to support their expression of feelings.

Kelsey offers daytime and evening appointments in Kincardine. She works with ages 3+. You can book online at www.counsellingbrucecounty.com

Tonight 24 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.

2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning.

343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.

60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.

8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift.

It was the last day that fathers and mothers hugged their children, husbands kissed their wife, girlfriends hugged and kissed their boyfriend.

None of them saw past 10:00AM on September 11, 2001.

In one single moment life may never be the same, so live and enjoy the breaths you take today.

And tonight, before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

We Shall Never Forget Them 🇺🇸

✨Some words from Kristina on her experience:

I have 23+ years of front-line Social Work and counselling experience supporting children, families and the community. I have worked in one of our local hospitals supporting the mental health of individuals and their families coming into the emergency room for many concerns including: substance misuse, partner violence, grief and bereavement, end-of-life counselling, long term care planning, chronic illness, aging and various forms of abuse. I also supported those who were receiving chemotherapy and their families. I most recently worked at the local VON clinic as a social worker seeing clients for a variety of mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, PTSD, trauma and chronic pain.

Here are some words from Elizabeth:

The main approach I use in my psychotherapy practice is person centered and anti-oppressive. I operate from a Relational Psychodynamic framework, which sees the therapeutic relationship (a.k.a "team work") as the single most significant facilitator of success and positive change.
