Grief & Loss Support

Online Grief Counselling for Perth and WA

Grief is often more than sadness. It can show up as broken sleep, low energy, guilt, anxiety or a heavy numbness that’s hard to explain. Joy, a registered counsellor based in Perth, offers online grief counselling for people across Perth and Western Australia. Sessions happen from home, in WA time, including evenings and weekends.

Understanding Grief

Grief Has No Timeline and No Right Way to Feel

Grief doesn’t move in a straight line. Some days are quiet. On others it arrives without warning: on an anniversary, in a song, or for no reason at all. Common responses include disrupted sleep, appetite changes, trouble concentrating, irritability, guilt and a sense of numbness. These are normal responses to loss, not signs that something is wrong with you.

Because grief lives in the body as well as the mind, Joy uses a gentle, nervous-system-informed approach. Alongside talking things through, sessions help you notice how grief shows up physically and find ways to feel steadier when it hits hardest. Support is available after the death of a partner, parent, child, friend or pet. It’s also available for losses that don’t involve a death, such as separation, a health diagnosis or a major life change.

How Counselling Can Help

Grief Support That Meets You Where You Are

A Steady, Safe Space

Talk through what you're feeling without judgement. Work through difficult emotions, adjust to change, and build coping strategies for the days that feel hardest.

Body and Mind Together

Grief can sit in your chest, your stomach and your sleep. Gentle nervous-system tools help you feel more grounded and at ease, at a pace that feels right for you.

Online From Anywhere in WA

Video sessions from home in WA time, including evenings and weekends. In-person appointments are available in Perth. Private clients and NDIS self-managed or plan-managed participants are welcome.

How It Works

What to Expect From Online Grief Counselling

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, so the process is kept simple.

  1. Reach out. Call, email or book online, whichever feels easiest.
  2. A short, free chat. A no-pressure conversation to see if it feels like a good fit.
  3. Sessions from home. Online via video at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends.
  4. Support at your pace. One session or ongoing support, whenever you need it.

Counselling is available for individuals, couples and family members supporting one another through loss. You don’t need to have the right words. You can come exactly as you are.

Common Questions

Grief Counselling in Perth: Your Questions Answered

Do you offer grief counselling in Perth?
Yes. Embodied Therapy Services offers grief counselling online for people anywhere in the Perth metro area, from Joondalup to Rockingham and Fremantle to Midland. In-person sessions are also available in Perth.

Can I have grief counselling if I live in regional WA?
Yes. Online sessions are available anywhere in Western Australia, including Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton, Albany, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, the Pilbara and the Kimberley. Appointments are booked in WA time, so there’s no juggling of time zones.

How do I know if I need grief counselling?
There’s no threshold you need to meet. Many people reach out when grief is affecting their sleep, work or relationships, or when they feel stuck. Others simply want a space to talk that isn’t with family or friends.

How long after a loss can I start counselling?
Any time. Some people reach out within weeks of a loss, others years later. Grief often resurfaces around anniversaries, birthdays or special occasions, and support is available whenever you need it.

Is online grief counselling as helpful as face-to-face?
Many people find online sessions just as supportive, and being in your own familiar space can make it easier to open up. If you’d prefer to meet in person, face-to-face sessions are available in Perth.

Can couples or family members attend together?
Yes. Sessions are available for individuals, couples and family members who are supporting one another through a loss.

Can NDIS participants access grief counselling?
Yes. NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed can book grief counselling.

Is this a crisis service?
No. If you’re in crisis or feel unsafe, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 (24 hours) or 000 in an emergency.
