Sydney Grief Counselling Services

Grief Counselling

Since 2009, I've specialised in offering counselling to adults, children and young people experiencing grief following the death of a family member. I will work with you to understand the challenges you're experiencing and offer strategies to help you to cope.

Grief counselling is available in person or online via telehealth. I can help you to address a range of challenges including:

Feeling like your grief is not getting better or getting worse over time
Feeling unsure about what is ‘normal’ in grief and how best to manage the challenges of bereavement
Persistent and distressing images of a death, or the events which preceded a death
Feeling stuck with confusing or difficult emotions such as anger or guilt
Managing missing and longing for the person who has died
Questioning how best to support parents, partners or children who are grieving
Addressing unhelpful or concerning coping strategies
Loss of meaning and purpose
Feeling unsupported by those around you
Grief for someone who you had a difficult or abusive relationship with
Navigating practical challenges such as what to do with someone’s belongings or where to scatter ashes
Managing complex family relationships, including disputes around inheritance
Uncertainty around how to navigate anniversaries and special occasion
Questions around re-partnering

I also offer a range of Grief Information Sessions to answer your questions about grief and offer practical strategies to help you cope with the impacts of loss.
