Grief and Loss Counselling & Therapy – Adelaide & Online/ Telehealth Across Australia

At Prime Path Psychology, our Adelaide psychologists provide professional grief counselling, bereavement counselling, and online grief therapy via telehealth for individuals and families coping with the loss of a loved one or significant life changes. We offer evidence-based grief support both in-person in Adelaide and across Australia via secure online sessions.

Understanding Grief and Loss

Grief is a natural response to substantial loss, which may include:

• Death of a loved one or pet (pet loss counselling)
• Relationship breakdown
• Loss of employment or financial stability
• Retirement or leaving home

Grief affects both emotions and the body. Emotional responses may include sadness, anger, guilt, disbelief, or longing. Physical symptoms can include fatigue, headaches, insomnia, or nausea. These experiences can impact daily functioning, work, and relationships.

Prolonged or Complicated Grief

Prolonged Grief (PG) is intense grief that significantly disrupts life for over a year. People may feel “stuck,” with grief dominating thoughts and emotions, affecting concentration, decision-making, and planning.

Signs of prolonged grief include:

• Persistent preoccupation with the deceased or loss
• Ongoing yearning or longing
• Difficulty making sense of the loss
• Excessive self-blame
• Avoidance of reminders of the deceased
• Feeling life is meaningless without the loved one
• Grief lasting longer than one year

Professional grief therapy, bereavement therapy, or online grief counselling can provide support, coping strategies, and guidance through these difficult experiences.

Evidence-Based Prolonged Grief Therapy (PGT)

Prolonged Grief Treatment (PGT) is a short-term, evidence-based therapy for complicated grief. PGT helps individuals:

• Restore daily functioning and motivation
• Reframe thoughts about the loss without intense anger, guilt, or anxiety
• Reduce avoidance of activities, places, or memories associated with the loss

Clinicians at Prime Path Psychology are Beck Institute CBT Certified and trained in PGT, offering expert, professional grief therapy in-person in Adelaide and via telehealth grief counselling across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Canberra.
