Compassionate Bereavement Counselling When You Need It Most
Grief & Loss Counselling for Women
Grief & Loss Counselling for Women | Yea Victoria & Online Australia
Grief touches us all, yet each person’s journey through loss is deeply personal. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a pet, or a major life change, I offer grief and loss counselling in a space of compassion and care. At Indy Support Services, you can share your story at your own pace, without pressure or judgement.
Together, we will gently explore your emotions, make sense of your experiences, and discover ways to move forward while honouring your loss. My sessions focus on hope, resilience, and building a new sense of meaning in your life.
I provide grief counselling online across Australia, as well as in-person in Yea, Victoria. You don’t have to face loss alone — I am here to support you every step of the way.
Client reflection: “Lisa walked beside me in my grief and gave me hope when I couldn’t see it myself.”
Understanding Grief & Loss Through Counselling
Grief is a natural but deeply personal response to loss. No two people experience it the same way, and there is no set timeline for healing. At Indy Support Services, I respect your unique journey and provide a compassionate space to explore your emotions without pressure or expectation.
Grief can affect every part of life. Physically, it may bring fatigue, sleep disruptions, or changes in appetite. Emotionally, it can stir sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness. Cognitively, you may notice racing thoughts or difficulty concentrating, while socially, grief may leave you feeling isolated or disconnected. These varied responses are normal—even if they feel confusing or overwhelming.
Through counselling, we can gently make sense of these experiences together, helping you feel less alone and more supported as you move through your grief.
One client reflected: “Lisa helped me realise my grief didn’t have to follow a ‘right way’—it could simply be my way.”
When Grief Becomes Overwhelming: How Counselling Helps
For many people, grief gradually softens with time. But for others, the pain can remain intense, interfering with daily life and leaving them feeling stuck. This is sometimes known as complicated or prolonged grief, and it can feel as though the sadness never eases or that moving forward is impossible.
At Indy Support Services, I reassure you that these feelings are valid. Grief is not a sign of weakness, and struggling does not mean you’re failing. Some losses are so profound that they continue to affect every part of life. Together, we’ll explore what your grief means for you, and I’ll support you in finding ways to cope, rebuild, and begin to feel more grounded.
You don’t have to face these difficult moments alone—counselling offers a safe, supportive pathway forward.
A client expressed: “Lisa helped me find light in the darkest moments, when I thought the pain would never ease.”
What to Expect in Grief Counselling Sessions
At Indy Support Services, grief counselling begins with creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can share your story at your own pace. There is no pressure to “move on” or meet a timeline—you are free to grieve in the way that feels most authentic to you. My role is to walk beside you, offering empathy, warmth, and guidance as you make sense of your experiences.
Grief counselling is person-centred, meaning I see you as the expert of your own life. I provide empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine understanding, supporting you to tap into your inner strengths and resilience. Together, we can explore your emotions, find ways to cope, and gently rebuild a sense of meaning and connection after loss.
In one client’s words: “Lisa didn’t rush me—she gave me space to grieve, and that patience helped me begin to heal.”
Therapeutic Approaches to Grief Counselling at Indy Support Services
Every person’s grief journey is different, which is why I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to support your healing. Each method is tailored to your needs, always with compassion and respect for your pace.
- Person-Centred Care – Your voice leads the way. I listen with empathy and acceptance, creating a safe environment where you can express your grief openly.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – Together, we’ll explore small, meaningful steps that help you honour your loss while rediscovering hope.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – This approach helps you gently reframe unhelpful thoughts, process painful memories safely, and re-engage with life.
- Mindfulness Practices – Breathing, grounding, and meditation support you to find calm and reconnect with the present moment.
These approaches combine to create a flexible, holistic framework designed to nurture resilience and renewal.
A client described her journey: “Counselling with Lisa gave me practical tools, but also the kindness I needed to begin living again.”
The Path to Healing with Grief & Loss Counselling
Healing after loss isn’t about forgetting or “moving on” — it’s about learning to carry your grief in a way that feels lighter and more manageable. At Indy Support Services, I walk beside you with compassion and care as you gently rebuild meaning and find new ways to connect with life.
Grief counselling offers space to honour what you’ve lost while also nurturing resilience and hope for the future. Step by step, we’ll explore your feelings, create strategies for coping, and help you rediscover your own strength.
One client shared: “Lisa gave me hope when I couldn’t find it myself — she reminded me that healing is possible.”
Finding Hope After Loss Through Counselling Support
Grief can feel like an endless journey, but healing is possible. At Indy Support Services, I walk beside you as you navigate the waves of loss—offering compassion, understanding, and steady support along the way. Counselling is not about forgetting or leaving your loved one behind; it’s about finding ways to carry your loss while rediscovering moments of meaning, connection, and hope.
There is no “right” timeline for healing. Every step forward, no matter how small, is worth recognising and honouring. Together, we can create a pathway where resilience grows and new possibilities emerge, even in the shadow of loss.
If you’re ready, I invite you to take the first step toward gentle support and renewal. You don’t have to face this alone.
One client reflected: “Lisa gave me the courage to grieve fully, and in that process, I found the strength to keep going.”
