Community-based specialist grief support by qualified counsellors

The Grief Centre of Western Australia offers a place for those in grief, regardless of how the loss occurred or when it happened; to find understanding, support and a pathway to recovery.

Our team of skilled and experienced counsellors and facilitators offer compassionate grief support. Each counsellor is qualified in fields such as psychology, youth work, art therapy, grief research, end-of-life consultancy and/or traditional counselling. Modalities include compassionate listening, sand-play and art therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, PSYCHE K, Emotional Intelligence and Grief Literacy, amongst others.

What types of loss and grief do we support?

Grief is a part of life, and it comes to us as we live life in a myriad of ways, including:

The death of friend, family member, or a pet
Divorce or separation
The loss of employment or financial security
Illness or disability
Infertility
Childhood abuse/trauma (loss of expected experiences)
Loss of home, country or culture
Life transition (retirement, empty nest, loss of purpose)
Loss of natural environments and species extinction
Intangible losses (loss of dreams, hopes and for the future)

Types of Sessions Available

Private counselling sessions are available on-site at our venue in Tuart Hill or via video call. Outreach counselling at peoples’ homes is currently not available.

Support for Workers

We currently service several organisations via a service agreement. Organisations seeking specialised grief support for their workers should contact the Business Development Manager in the first instance, as we are able to provide employer funded services upon request where there is a written agreement.

Meet our Team

We invite you to meet our Client Contact Team.

Self-referral

All sessions are by self-referral only. GPs, social workers, or psychologists are welcome to refer people to the Grief Centre, however the grieving person must make their own booking. This is a crucial first step on their pathway to healing and hope.

For further information, including fees and venue directions, or to make a booking for a counselling appointment, please contact us using the form below.

Cancellation / Failed attendance

A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required for cancellation of appointments. Clients who do not notify of cancelation or do not attend (including first time clients) may be invoiced a cancellation fee for the session.
