Grief & Bereavement Counselling
Sutherland Shire

Bereavement and grief are deeply personal experiences. They call for a particular kind of care - one that is steady, deeply human, and able to remain alongside what this loss has brought.

Grief carries its own rhythm for each person. It is not linear, and it rarely stays the same over time. Loss can change shape as life changes, resurfacing in unexpected ways and often remaining difficult to put into words. Because of its deeply personal nature, grief carries layers that can feel isolating, overwhelming, or threaded with emotions that don’t sit neatly together.

My role is to offer a steady landing place - somewhere the enormity of grief does not need to be contained, managed, or explained away. A space where women can speak honestly about what they are carrying, including what feels heavy, conflicted, unfinished, or hard to name.

Areas you may wish to have support with:

the profound sorrow and life adjustments that come with the absence of someone who mattered deeply
anticipatory grief following diagnosis or life-limiting illness, including shifting roles and uncertainty
navigating funerals, anniversaries, and reminders
the emotional weight of family dynamics during times of loss
holding complex or conflicting feelings about the person who has died
staying connected to the memory of your loved one in ways that feel meaningful to you
gentle, safe exploration of trauma following sudden or traumatic loss
grief that feels persistent and continues to affect daily life
changes in identity, relationships, or sense of self following loss
finding a way forward that makes room for both living and remembering your loss

How I Work

Grief is not something to be fixed. It is something to be met with care, understanding, and respect.

In my work with grief, the therapeutic relationship is central. Being accompanied through loss - without pressure to move on, make sense of it, or arrive anywhere in particular - matters. Grief work is often messy and spacious, holding pain, love, confusion, and meaning side by side.

Alongside this, my work is clinically grounded. I draw on well-established understandings of grief, including the ongoing bonds we hold with those who have died and the ways meaning can gradually reshape over time. I also draw on specialist training, including ACT-based grief therapy, and many years of experience supporting people through sudden, traumatic, and complex losses within a bereavement service.

Some sessions are quiet.
Some involve tears, anger, or long pauses.
Some are about practical concerns, or simply sitting with what has changed.

All of it is welcome.

Whether you are mourning the loss of someone you love, living with the impact of sudden or traumatic news, or trying to understand who you are now in the wake of loss, you are welcome here.
