About Aly Bird, Grief Therapist

I use a trauma-informed approach to create space for you to explore what’s happening to you because your important person died. I’ll help you to find ways to endure the pain of your grief and loss while respecting you as the expert. I want to help you maintain a connection to your person in a culture that doesn’t give grief the time it deserves.

I work with clients who have experienced the death of someone important in their life (that could be a spouse, partner, parent, child, friend or someone else). I would be honoured to work with you during your most challenging of moments. And all of you is welcome in the therapy room; Snot, tears, laughter – whatever shape you and grief take day by day.

I am also the author of Grief Ally: Helping People You Love to Cope with Death, Loss, and Grief. This book draws from first-hand experience and therapeutic practices. Grief Ally will teach you essential life skills that everyone will, unfortunately, need at some point in their life: how to console a grieving loved one. It’s written for friends and family members who want to support a loved one suffering a loss that they never wanted or expected. And with a flexible approach that anyone can learn and practice, there’s no excuse for you to be terrible at grief support. Grief Ally is the answer we’re all looking for when someone dies and we’re left asking “What do I do?” and “How do I help?”
