Grief counselling allows individuals who are struggling with an impending loss, or death of a significant person, to understand the impact of emotions and gain tools to navigate their grief.

Counselling is provided in a safe and confidential environment at Kamloops Hospice.  To schedule a counselling appointment, please call Kamloops Hospice at 250-372-1336.  Our counselling fee is $50 per session.  We are unable to provide services to those whose grief is compounded by complex mental health and/or concurrent issues.

Please note: Counselling support is free of charge to patients and loved ones during their stay at Kamloops Hospice.
