Grief & Loss Counselling in Melbourne

Grief Therapy in Melbourne

Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something significant – but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or complicated. At PsychologyCare, we provide compassionate, non-judgemental therapy to support you through bereavement, ambiguous loss, or life transitions. Our experienced psychologists in Malvern and Prahran offer a safe space to honour your experience and begin to make sense of what comes next.

What Is Grief Therapy?

Grief therapy helps you process emotional responses to loss – whether the loss is recent, anticipated, or long in the past. It provides support as you navigate waves of sadness, anger, confusion, or numbness, and creates space to explore how your identity, relationships, and daily life have been impacted.

Grief may follow the death of a loved one, but it can also arise from changes such as relationship endings, miscarriages, family estrangement, illness, or shifts in role and purpose. Our therapists adapt their approach to meet you where you are – no timelines, no pressure to “move on.”

Who Might Benefit from Grief Counselling?

Experienced the death of a partner, family member, friend or pet
Are facing anticipatory grief (e.g. terminal illness, aging parent)
Feel stuck or “not themselves” since a major loss
Struggle with guilt, regret, anger or numbness after loss
Are grieving a non-death loss (e.g. divorce, estrangement, lost dreams or identity)
Have tried to grieve privately but feel isolated or overwhelmed

Grief counselling can help you feel less alone, while gently exploring what this loss means in the context of your life.

What Happens in a Grief Therapy Session?

Storytelling and remembering – sharing your experience at your own pace
Exploring emotional waves – naming sadness, anger, guilt or relief
Normalising and validating – understanding that grief is non-linear and deeply personal
Identifying coping resources – accessing support, ritual, routine or rest
Meaning-making – exploring how to carry the loss while moving forward
Integration – supporting a new relationship to the loss over time

There is no “right” way to grieve. Sessions are guided by your pace, your values, and what feels most helpful.
