Grief Counselling in Victoria BC - Online or In-Person
Honouring Loss,
Embracing Life
Welcome to Kintsugi Grief Counselling, a safe, compassionate space where your grief is honoured, your story is heard, and your journey toward healing can begin. I offer grief counselling in Victoria BC as well as online grief therapy across British Columbia, supporting adults through loss, life transitions, and self-discovery. Whether you’re navigating recent grief, long-held sorrow, or the uncertainty of change, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and steadiness.
About Kintsugi Grief Counselling
At Kintsugi Grief Counselling, I specialize in individual grief support for adults (19+), including grief counselling, pet loss support, terminal illness, and traumatic loss. Grief is a human experience to be witnessed, supported, and gently explored.
Together, we can navigate life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and an approach that honours your unique grief and pace.
In addition to grief-specific work, I welcome clients seeking support for personal growth, identity exploration, life transitions, and interpersonal challenges. Even when you may not associate your experience with grief, many major moments in life carry themes of change and loss. Whether you are coping with a significant loss or simply seeking a space for reflection and grounding, I am here to support your healing journey.
I offer grief counselling in Victoria BC, the surrounding areas, and online throughout BC.
Hi, I’m Yoshiko Nonaka
(MC, RCC-ACS).
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Victoria, I offer warm and compassionate grief support rooted in talk therapy, art therapy, and collaborative guidance. My therapeutic approach is grounded in gentleness and respect, ensuring you have a safe, supportive space to explore your emotions at your own pace.
Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, I believe your story holds strength and value in every chapter, even the painful ones. The healing process is not about erasing the cracks, but about weaving them into a renewed sense of purpose and meaning. This philosophy guides my work with clients seeking grief counselling in Victoria BC and beyond.
I understand that reaching out can be one of the hardest steps, especially during periods of deep sorrow. My role is to create a grounding presence where you can reconnect with resilience, self-compassion, and the parts of yourself that grief may have quieted.
How I Can
Support You
Grief can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you uncover resilience, meaning, and growth in the midst of change. Whether you are experiencing recent loss, anticipatory grief, or unresolved grief that continues to echo through your life, support is available.
While much of my work centres on grief and loss, I also offer support for life transitions and relational changes that are not necessarily rooted in loss. This may include periods of uncertainty, shifts in identity or roles, or changes within important relationships.
To make the beginning easier, I offer an introductory session at 50% off. This gives you a gentle starting point to see whether working together feels supportive and aligned with your needs. If you are seeking grief counselling in Victoria BC, or online support from anywhere in the province, I invite you to connect.
