OPAL Counselling NL is an online counselling service that focuses on helping clients (age 18+) in Newfoundland and Labrador with issues related to grief, loss, and life transitions.

Loss and change can leave us feeling like the rug has been pulled out from under us. When you lose someone you love through death or a relationship change, the grief is real. Life transitions can also leave you grieving and struggling in much the same way – personal injury, financial readjustment, career transitions – they all involve loss of some kind and it’s challenging to adjust. Navigating loss and change is easier said than done, but with the right support, it’s possible.

My name is Michelle Noftall, and I can provide you with that support. It’s my job to walk with you as you go from life as it was to life as it can be. This transitional time is like a bridge, and you don’t have to go it alone.
