Kyla Friel

Grief Counsellor, Counselling Services at MOUNT SAINT VINCENT UNIVERSITY

Kyla has a Master of Education in Counselling from Acadia University, a Certificate in Public Relations Management from McGill University, and a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in French from Mount Saint Vincent University. She is a Canadian Certified Counsellor and a Registered Counselling Therapist.

Kyla has had the privilege of working with young adults, adults, and families to explore sudden or tragic deaths, multiple deaths, significant loss, and anticipatory grief; working in hospital and hospice settings, live-in residences, and post-secondary. From experience, Kyla often finds that when we become aware of our grief or loss and pair it with compassion and micro-actions, we can navigate our way through. In this way, mindfulness-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-focused Therapy can be useful in our work.
