Chelsea has built her practice around something she knows to be true - grief rarely arrives alone. It moves through families, shifts relationships, and creates a ripple of secondary losses. She brings a depth of knowledge about family dynamics and the nuanced, non-linear nature of complicated grief that makes her particularly equipped to hold that complexity with you.

Chelsea works with individuals navigating grief and traumatic loss, anxiety, and depression. She has a specific focus on holding the weight of loving someone whose mental health challenges, addiction, or crisis has reshaped the landscape of your life.

Her approach is relational and body-informed. Grief doesn’t only live in the mind - it shows up in the nervous system, in chronic fatigue, in the way the body braces against what is coming next. Drawing on narrative therapy, somatics, and breathwork, Chelsea works with the whole person: the stories you carry and the body that holds them. Her goal is not to move you through grief faster, but to help you move through it more fully - with greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a restored sense of your own agency.

Chelsea also holds specialized training through the PEACE Program for children and youth experiencing violence, and through the BC Council for Families, which informs the particular skill she brings to complex family and relational dynamics.

Chelsea is currently accepting new clients, with limited sliding scale spots available. Book a complimentary consultation to connect.

Clients often describe Ben as someone they could talk to for hours - and that quality of ease is not separate from his clinical skill, it is an expression of it. Ben has spent a significant part of his practice in hospice, sitting with people at life’s most difficult threshold, and he brings that same unhurried presence to every client he works with. What makes him particularly effective is the combination of that depth with a practical, grounded ability to give clients real tools - so that sessions with Ben leave you not just feeling held, but better equipped to navigate what comes next.

Ben works with individuals and couples navigating grief and bereavement, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma and neglect, addiction, self-esteem, and the relational fractures that loss and trauma leave behind. He has a particular focus on end-of-life experiences and terminal diagnosis - supporting both those facing death and those learning to live in the long, often underestimated aftermath of it. For couples, he brings that same steadiness to the relational space, supporting partners who are trying to find each other again through loss, disconnection, or the weight that stress places on connection.

Ben draws on CBT, narrative therapy, and existential therapy - approaches that take seriously both the practical need for tools and the deeper human need to make meaning out of what has happened.

Originally from the UK, Ben spent over a decade in project management across corporate, government, and defence sectors before becoming a therapist. That background sharpened his eye for people’s strengths and capacity, even when those people cannot see it in themselves. He is a committed advocate for women’s rights and LGBTQ+ inclusion.

Amelia founded Adventuring Loss on a single conviction: that complicated grief requires more than general support - it requires someone who will not flinch at its full weight. If you have felt too complicated for the support that has been available to you, or if your loss has layers that have been difficult to name, you are exactly who Adventuring Loss was built for.

Amelia specializes in the losses that are prolonged, ambiguous, or that the world around you has not known how to witness. She works with clients for whom grief has become something larger than a single event, tangled with trauma, identity, and a shattered sense of what comes next. She does not rush toward resolution. She moves alongside you, for as long as the work requires.

Adventuring Loss was born from Amelia’s own experience of sudden, life-altering loss in 2015 - a loss that touched every part of her life and sent her searching, across continents and landscapes, for something that would hold the weight of what she was carrying. What she found, ultimately, was not in the movement but in the stillness of the therapeutic relationship - in the experience of being truly met inside her grief. That discovery became the foundation of this clinic and the standard by which every clinician here works.

At the center of her work, and of this clinic, is a belief that life - all of it, including what we must endure - is something worth turning toward and exploring.

Her approach is integrative and strength-based, drawing on Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Somatics, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), with advanced training in trauma. She builds therapeutic relationships rooted in authenticity. Her belief, held clinically and personally, is that with the right support, the capacity to move through even the most profound loss is already inside the person sitting across from her.

Grief is disorienting in ways that are hard to put into words, not just your loss, but who you find yourself to be in its aftermath.

Jill works with individuals navigating grief, anxiety, depression, and the particular disorientation that comes when loss, in any form, changes the shape of your world. Her work begins not with fixing or relieving, but with accompanying. Jill holds a quiet conviction that pain and suffering - as unwanted and unchosen as they are - can open a doorway to a more honest relationship with yourself. Not because you should be grateful for what happened, but because within that doorway is the possibility of knowing yourself more deeply, more clearly, and on your own terms. She believes that the person who comes to know themselves becomes their own best resource and she is committed to helping clients find their way there.

Jill brings particular attunement to what happens when loss interrupts the expected arc of a life. When grief arrives at a formative moment, it doesn’t just hurt but it pauses development, stalls the milestones others around you seem to be reaching, and can leave you feeling profoundly out of step with your peers. If you have ever watched your life move sideways while everyone else appeared to move forward, Jill understands that specific loneliness and works with it directly.

Her approach is integrative and holistic, drawing on Narrative Therapy, Parts Work, CBT, emotional regulation tools, and Bilateral Stimulation. She also brings focused attention to communication, boundary setting, and navigating change - recognizing that loss reshapes how we relate to ourselves and others in ways that are often unexpected. Her warmth and genuine curiosity create a space where clients feel safe to explore, not just endure, what they’re carrying.

Jill is currently welcoming new individual clients. Book a complimentary 20-minute consultation to connect.

Patricia has come to know something about grief that shapes everything about how she works - grief often unearths the process of self-discovery. She brings a warmth and genuine curiosity that allows her to step fully into someone else’s experience without needing it to look a particular way. If you are carrying not just loss but the quiet identity shift that comes in its wake, Patricia meets that complexity with care and without assumption.

Patricia works with individuals navigating grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, infertility, ADHD, and the layered experience of building a life across cultures and languages. Many of her clients arrive at a particular kind of stuck - not in crisis, but unable to locate the life they actually want underneath everything they have been carrying. Her work is holistic and goal-oriented, holding space for both emotional depth and forward movement. For couples, she brings this same lens to the relational space - supporting partners in finding each other again when loss, overwhelm, and the weight of daily life have quietly created distance.

Patricia integrates CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) - approaches that work together to surface what has been quietly limiting a client, challenge the narratives that no longer serve them, and build genuine momentum toward a life that feels aligned. Before training as a counsellor, Patricia practiced law - an experience that sharpened her attunement to complexity, precision, and the particular pressures of high-stakes professional life, including burnout and the weight of careers that leave little room for grief.

Patricia offers grief therapy in Spanish and English and is currently welcoming new individual and couples clients. Book a complimentary consultation to connect.
