If you're looking for a therapist that values honesty, humour, and actually getting to the point to support you with burnout, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma or any kind of life transition, we might be a great fit!
I believe in offering a therapy experience that doesn't feel overly stuffy or clinical. Many people love a clinical approach, but for those who don't, it can feel really daunting. I aim to provide support that feels authentic, where clients can come exactly as they are.

Hi, I'm Gretta. I have over 20+ years of experience providing counselling to adults. I have a particular interest in supporting adults who have experienced relational trauma. Do you experience, for example, confusion; trust issues; excessive thinking, stress or worry; communication issues; tiredness; sleep issues; feeling withdrawn and/or on alert? Would you prefer to slow down, explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences, and develop skills to more effectively manage them? Working with a professionally trained counsellor allows you to work towards the changes you are seeking within a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship.

She works with people navigating long-standing mood disturbances, intimacy and relationship challenges, trauma, addiction, questions of identity, grief, and the quieter but no less painful burdens of guilt, shame, dissatisfaction, and loneliness.
I am a Brisbane-based psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice, working with individuals (16+ years) and couples. My way of working tends to resonate with those who feel a quiet pull to understand themselves more deeply, and with those who sense that their relationships—both with themselves and others—could hold more ease and coherence. I try to approach each person as singular, attending not only to their symptoms or struggles, but to the particular texture of their inner world and the unfolding story of who they are becoming.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
