Ben supports clients through grief, loss, and life’s heavy seasons with a grounded, compassionate approach. His work is shaped not only by training, but by his own lived experience with loss and his time supporting individuals in hospice care.

Clients often share that being in session with Ben feels like sitting with someone who truly gets it. Someone who listens deeply, creates a sense of ease, and gently guides you with the tools and support you need when things feel overwhelming.

Grief has a surface.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then it has what lives underneath it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The part no one sees...
the racing thoughts at 2am,
the moments you had to hold it together in public,
the exhaustion of carrying memories in your body,
the way ordinary days can feel impossibly heavy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be proud of what you survived beneath the surface.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not because you had to do it alone.
Not because silence is strength.
But because surviving the invisible weight of grief takes more courage than most people will ever understand.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this resonates, let it be a reminder that you don’t have to keep carrying it quietly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Support exists for the parts beneath the surface, too. 🤍
If you’re ready, our grief counsellors offer online sessions across B.C., we’re here when you are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this for the days you forget how much you’ve already endured.

Easter can feel different after loss.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even when the flowers are blooming.
Even when the table is full.
Even when everyone else seems okay.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Holidays have a way of highlighting absence. The empty chair feels louder. The traditions feel heavier. And the pressure to feel “celebratory” can sit uncomfortably on top of grief that hasn’t gone anywhere.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this season feels tender for you, there is nothing wrong with that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re allowed to move differently this year.
You’re allowed to step outside for air.
You’re allowed to leave early.
You’re allowed to change traditions.
You’re allowed to feel both love and loss in the same breath.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grief doesn’t disappear because the calendar says it’s a holiday. It simply asks to be acknowledged.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If Easter feels harder than you expected, our grief counsellors are here.

When a new loss arrives and the pain feels larger than you can account for — you are probably not overreacting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You may be meeting the grief you’ve been carrying for a long time. Losses that never had space. Wounds that closed over without ever fully healing. The nervous system holds all of it, faithfully, until it believes you are finally ready to look.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one of the most disorienting experiences in grief. It is also one of the most common. And it is exactly the kind of layered, complicated experience that requires more than time — it requires real support.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are feeling overwhelmed by a loss that seems to have opened something much older and deeper, we see you.

There’s a lot of advice out there right now.

AI can offer insights.
Podcasts can give perspective.
Content can help you feel seen.

But healing isn’t just about information.

It’s about being witnessed.
It’s about feeling safe enough to say the thing you haven’t said out loud yet.
It’s about having someone gently reflect back what you can’t always see when you’re in it.

🫶🏽 You don’t have to organize your thoughts before you show up.
🫶🏽 You don’t have to explain things perfectly.
🫶🏽 You don’t have to carry it alone.

A real relationship. one that’s attuned, responsive, and grounded in care, is what allows healing to actually take root.

If you’ve been trying to work through things on your own and still feel stuck, that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It might just mean you’re not meant to do it alone.

We offer free 20-minute consultations so you can connect with a grief counsellor, ask questions, and see if it feels like the right fit. đź’›

That little voice can be relentless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I should be over this by now.”
“It’s been long enough.”
“Other people have moved on.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grief doesn’t work on a schedule. It doesn’t disappear just because the calendar changes or the world keeps moving.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Your timeline is not up for debate.
• You are allowed to still carry this.
• Grief is not something to “graduate” from.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this post felt like a relief to read, let it be a reminder: you are allowed to move at your own pace. There is no shame in how you feel. 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’d like support navigating your grief with compassion and steadiness, we offer free 20-minute consultations to help you find the right fit. You don’t have to rush this and you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

Our counsellors are not observers of grief. We are people who have lived it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is not something most clinics say directly. We do, because we think it matters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every clinician at Adventuring Loss carries their own story of significant loss, different in its particulars, shared in its weight. The kinds of loss that rearrange a person.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That experience doesn’t make us better therapists on its own. The training, the supervision, the ongoing clinical work does that. But it does mean that when a client comes to us with something unspeakable, we are not startled by it. We have been somewhere in that territory. We know what it costs to show up and say it out loud. 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know the cost of grief and trauma on your heart, body, relationships, mind and beliefs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This clinic was built because of loss. It is staffed by people who chose this work on purpose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will not flinch. We will not rush you. We will not hand you a pamphlet and a five-stage model.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will sit with you, for as long as the work takes.

Spring is here. 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you’re grieving, that can feel complicated.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The world gets lighter. The days get longer. People talk about fresh starts and new energy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But grief doesn’t follow the seasons.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can still feel heavy and notice the light.
You can miss them and feel the warmth of the sun.
You can carry sadness and still allow something gentle to grow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spring doesn’t erase winter.
It simply exists alongside it.đź’›
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this season feels tender, you’re not doing it wrong. Healing is not linear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And whatever this season looks like for you, we’re here to support you in it. 🫶🏽

There’s a quiet myth around grief that says you should wait.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wait until it’s been long enough.
Wait until you’re sure it’s “bad enough.”
Wait until you’ve tried harder to handle it on your own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But grief doesn’t follow timelines. And healing doesn’t require proof. 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes the sign it’s time to start grief therapy isn’t a breakdown.

It’s a whisper. A tiredness. A sense that you don’t want to carry this alone anymore.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don’t need to be falling apart.
You don’t need to justify your loss.
You don’t need permission from anyone else.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If something in this carousel felt familiar, that may be your heart gently nudging you toward support.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We offer online grief counselling across B.C., and every new client is welcome to book a free 15-minute consultation to see if it feels like the right fit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At your pace. On your timing.
We’re here when you’re ready. 🤍

Some connections don’t end when a life does.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They shift.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve ever caught yourself turning to tell them something…

Saving a seat in your mind…

Speaking to them in the car or before bed…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re not “stuck.”
You’re bonded.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grief can make it feel like everything has been taken from you.

But the relationship itself doesn’t disappear. It becomes internal. It becomes memory, ritual, whisper, instinct. It becomes the quiet ways you carry them forward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is what we call continuing bonds, and it’s a deeply human, healthy part of grieving.💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this resonates, you’re not alone in it.
And if the weight of carrying feels heavy right now, our grief counsellors are here to walk beside you.
