Grief Psychologists and Therapists in Mildura, VIC
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from yourself, others, or a sense of meaning. Perhaps you’re living with anxiety, low mood, trauma, identity questions, or the cumulative impact of life stress, disability, or neurodiversity. You may find it hard to put your experiences into words, or you may be seeking a therapeutic space that feels flexible, respectful, and creative. I work primarily with adults from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse communities, who want support that honours both their inner world and their lived context.

Unsure or new to Counselling? We get it. For over 15 years I’ve supported people wanting to change behaviours that aren't working well for them or want better coping strategies for life's challenges. My approach is to provide practical support to get you feeling some ease and relief, both efficiently and affordably. This includes resources to use outside of the sessions in your everyday life. I have extensive experience working with substance use, anger, anxiety, low mood, stress and more with both men and women. I'm experienced supporting people who are new to counselling or may need extra motivation and support to make changes.

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.
