Grief
Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Grief can feel heavy, confusing, and deeply isolating whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, your sense of identity, or a chapter of your life. There is no “right way” to grieve, and you don’t have to navigate this process alone.
I offer a compassionate, safe space to explore your emotions, make sense of the pain, and gently find your way forward. Together, we honour your loss while supporting your healing, resilience, and reconnection with life at your own pace.

Grief
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in nursing and mental health, I have supported many people with various forms of loss and grief experiences in their life, and how this impacts them on a daily basis. Grief and loss over time when not resolved, can cause an unrelenting sense of despair and emotional pain leaving you feeling lost and stuck in that pain. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment despite your loss, to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Grief
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and it doesn't come with a timeline. It can resurface in waves, long after others expect you to have "moved on." If you're grieving a loss and struggling to find your footing, let's work together to help you carry it in a way that feels more manageable.
The first step in working through grief is understanding that there is no right or wrong way to grieve, whatever you're feeling is valid. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll create room for your grief without rushing it, and gently explore how to hold your loss while still moving forward in your life. My approach centres presence, self-compassion, and working at your own pace.
You don't have to grieve alone. Let's take the first step toward healing, in whatever way that looks like for you.

Melbourne has a well-established therapy culture and one of Australia's highest rates of therapist availability per capita, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and schema therapy. The city's high cost of living and competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing burnout, perfectionism, and relationship stress among its large young professional population. Melbourne's diverse migrant communities — including large South Asian, East Asian, and African populations — mean cultural competence and multilingual therapy are in consistent demand. The Royal Melbourne Hospital and Alfred Health provide institutional mental health resources alongside the city's extensive private and community-based therapy network.
