Psychotherapist-Led Workplace Workshop

Navigating Grief & Loss Within the Workplace

When a workplace experiences the death of a colleague, a collective trauma, or any loss that impacts a team, the effects ripple far beyond productivity. Employees may struggle silently with emotional distress, uncertainty, and disrupted team dynamics. Bringing in a psychotherapist to facilitate supportive, evidence-informed workshops can help your organization navigate these difficult moments with compassion, clarity, and care.

Why Bring in a Psychotherapist?

A guided workplace grief session offers your team the opportunity to acknowledge loss, understand the grieving process, and receive support in a safe, structured environment. These sessions help normalize emotional responses and reduce stigma around mental health—especially during times when employees may not know how to express what they’re experiencing or how to support one another.
