Counselling Services

At Counselling4Loss, we offer a range of therapeutic services to help you navigate your personal circumstances with care, clarity, and compassion.


Whether you prefer private one-on-one sessions or the connection of a small support group, our services are designed to meet you where you are—and walk with you, gently, toward healing.


One-on-One Counselling

Personalised support, just for you

Counselling is a supportive, confidential space where we can work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. You are an active participant in this process, and we will be here to walk alongside you throughout your journey.


Each person’s experience in counselling is unique. While we can’t promise specific outcomes, we are dedicated to working with you using best practices and compassion to help you find clarity, support, and coping skills for moving forward. Developing an awareness of your body as well as your emotions, is key to our therapeutic approach.


Counselling4Loss will support you in coping with any type of loss or challenging situation through the utilisation of an integrated and trauma informed approach.

Couples and relationship counselling

The therapy approach offered to couples is evidence based and avoids providing communication tips, scripts and behavioural activities to address the issues presented by couples. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) applies a structured therapy process that focuses on the need for partners to be emotionally safe and connected. The therapy uncovers attachment needs and over time, enables couples to move into interactions where they can communicate their relationship needs and fears. A felt sense of connection is needed, especially when relationship security is threatened, and separation distress occurs when disconnection with a partner occurs. 

When a partnership is failing, increasing conflict is not the cause. The cause is the decreasing affection and emotional responsiveness.

EFCT is not about fixing your partner, it’s about how finding how both of you reach for connection and what happens when that connection is threatened or lost.

 Support Groups


On May 21, 2026, ABC News reported that “a national survey of 10,000 parents found that almost 60 per cent are experiencing psychological distress impacting the quality of time they spend with their children.”

 

Providing support to overwhelmed and struggling parents and carers is essential.


Expressions of Interest are being sought from schools in Boroondara municipality in Victoria.


Counselling4Loss is offering schools in Boroondara the opportunity to run parent and carer support groups on site at their school.

 

By being in a facilitated support group with peers, parents and carers may find the experience as helpful to them as individual counselling. For some people it may even be more effective, particularly when obtaining social support and understanding sadnesses, anxieties and/or losses are important goals for participants.

 

Counselling4Loss is seeking expressions of interest from School Wellbeing Coordinators who would like to offer a support group at their high school.

  • wonder if anyone else is feeling like this?
