Grief Psychologists and Therapists in Elwood, VIC
I have 20 years of professional experience working with life's grief, bereavement and existential concerns, such as finding meaning after loss, being with and growing through traumatic events, and facing our own mortality.
Using a combination of Western and Eastern psychology, I help my clients feel their way through their challenges, attain emotional clarity and experience more of their human potential. We work at depth, gently unveiling the unconscious forces that shape our lives. This is powerful work, emotionally intimate, and recommended to those who are ready for change.

Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or exploring deeper life patterns, I offer kind, trauma-informed, evidence-based support for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions, self-esteem, cultural or religious concerns, LGBTQIA+ experiences, substance use, chronic health conditions, and more.
I integrate Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gestalt Therapy. I also draw on Buddhist psychology and practical mindfulness and meditation practices if you're interested in exploring how this tradition can support modern therapy.

I specialise in providing support around anxiety, loss, grief and bereavement.
A diagnosis of cancer or a life limiting illness can turn your life up side down. Everything has suddenly changed and there are a lot of adjustments to make physically, mentally, sexually, emotionally. It can effect your relationships and those around you. It can feel like a very lonely time.

Research shows that the therapeutic relationship (e.g., how well you get along with your psychologist) can be just as important as the work we do together. I think therapy should not be rigid and I try to emulate that. I have a very open and relaxed manner that I hope will allow you to feel comfortable in describing your situation. Pawfessor Morty (a Hungarian Vizsla) has now joined the therapy team, and he looks forward to helping you feel warm and welcomed too!

My clients are diverse and come from different cultures and are different ages and genders. Talking about their issues in a safe, secure, confidential space is therapeutic in itself, as is the importance of empowering my clients, validating their concerns, and normalising their experiences. Sometimes this is all my clients need. Others require assistance in setting goals, acquiring tools to manage their anxiety, tools to help them live independant, flourishing lives, knowing that they have the strategies, techniques and of course insight into themselves.

Life can feel overwhelming and at times we need extra support. You might be dealing with anxiety, low mood, trauma, burnout, ADHD, or just feeling stuck. Maybe you're looking to understand yourself better, cope more effectively, or find a bit more peace. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what's going on. You don’t have to go through it alone. If you're looking for a safe, supportive space to explore things at your pace, I offer online psychology sessions for adults across Australia, and in-person sessions in Elwood VIC.

I work with adults & couples dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD & complex trauma, relationship difficulties, OCD and other emotional concerns. I approach therapy with a deep curiosity about you: how you see things like noone else. Depending on what brings you to therapy, we may explore how pivotal moments in life have shaped you, your beliefs, and your relationships, or we may look at practical ways you could bring about the changes you hope for. My aim is to provide a supportive space that helps you understand things more clearly, accept yourself more fully, and feel more capable of meeting life’s challenges.

My clients are women at all kinds of moments - running on empty after too long holding everything together, stuck in patterns that keep showing up no matter how hard they try to shift them, navigating a life transition that's knocked them sideways, or sitting with a quiet but persistent sense that the life they're living doesn't quite fit anymore.
Some arrive in crisis. Others arrive with no single defining reason, just a readiness to understand themselves more clearly and do something about it. Both are welcome. Both are the right reason to be here.

Life doesn't come with a user's guide and all of us struggle at times. In looking for a therapist you have taken a step toward finding greater ease in your life. Psychotherapy is about building a greater awareness and understanding of your patterns in life. This allows you to find a sense of spaciousness where, rather than act reactively, you can make more conscious choices and cultivate a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself often feeling anxious or depressed, held back by past traumas, not living the life you want, or lacking direction, then please reach out so I can support you in finding the change you need.

In my practice, I work with adults navigating a wide range of challenges - including trauma, anxiety, dissociation, depression, grief, and relational struggles.
Finding a therapist who can deeply attune to you and creatively integrate approaches that truly align with your needs can be really hard. It often takes energy from every part of your life- especially when you’re already running on empty. I want to reassure you that I understand, both professionally and personally, just how crucial this stage is. That’s why I’ve made it a priority to ensure this part of the process feels as welcoming and informative as possible.

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.
