Grief Counsellor in the Perth Hills

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline and it doesn’t need to be carried alone. I offer a quiet, unhurried space to talk about loss – whatever shape it’s taken for you.

ABOUT

A space to be honest about how you’re really doing

Whether your loss is recent or one you’ve been carrying for years, counselling gives you room to say the things that are hard to say elsewhere.

There’s no right way to grieve, and no timeline you’re expected to meet. Sessions are one-on-one, at your pace, in a setting where you don’t have to hold it together.

Together, we’ll gently make sense of what you’re experiencing, honour your unique story, and explore what you need right now. My hope is that, over time, you’ll begin to feel more like yourself again, with greater clarity, self-compassion, and confidence to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

ABOUT

Loss takes many forms

I work with people navigating the death of someone close to them, as well as other kinds of loss – the end of a marriage, a diagnosis, a job, a stage of life.

If something has changed your world and you’re struggling to find your footing, that’s grief too, and it’s worth talking through.

What clients have to say

“Chantal brings a holistic approach to counselling. It’s not only about learning to integrate the grief into your new life, but also about working through what you want that new life to look like in every facet of your life.”

“What makes Chantal special is her empathy, not only as a genuinely caring person but also from a place of understanding, born of her lived experience of bereavement, disenfranchised grief, and the unique emotions it brings up.”

“Chantal creates a safe space for vulnerability. When the emotions of grief get overwhelming and feel unsafe to experience alone, our sessions can feel like my dedicated, non-judgmental avenue where I can completely cry my heart out and know she will hold space for me.”

“From the very beginning, Chantal created a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where I felt truly heard and understood. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care have made an enormous difference during one of the most difficult times in my life.”

“Chantal helps create a space where people feel safe to be vulnerable, share their unique stories, and most importantly feel genuinely heard, understood, and cared for.”

“I had the privilege working alongside Chantal and witnessing firsthand the compassionate and meaningful way she supports individuals experiencing grief.”

“This year has been the year I have faced domestic abuse head on. Without Chantal by my side, I am not sure I would have coped with the increased levels of abuse that are reached when you stand up to a perpetrator.”

“With Chantal, it’s not only about learning to integrate the grief into your new life, but also about working through what you want that new life to look like.”

“When the emotions of grief get overwhelming and feel unsafe to experience alone, my sessions with Chantal feel like a dedicated, non-judgmental avenue, where I can completely cry my heart out and know she will hold space for me.”

“Chantal has a gift for helping people feel accepted exactly as they are, while gently encouraging reflection.”

SERVICES

How sessions work

I meet you where you are, without an agenda for how you should be feeling by now.

Sessions are conversational rather than clinical – we’ll talk about what’s weighing on you, and work out together what support looks like from there.

Some people come for a handful of sessions, others for longer and both are fine.

Please be aware that sessions can’t usually be claimed from your health insurance fund.

SERVICES

In person or online

Free 15-Minute Chat

A gentle place to begin.

Taking the first step can feel daunting. This complimentary conversation gives us an opportunity to meet, explore what has brought you here, answer any questions you may have, and see whether we’re the right fit to work together.

There is no obligation and no pressure, just a welcoming space to begin.

Individual Counselling Session (60 minutes) – AU$150

Compassionate support for wherever you are today.

Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, a significant life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, each session offers a safe, supportive space to pause, reflect, and be heard.

Together we’ll begin making sense of your experiences, exploring what matters most, and discovering practical ways to move forward with greater clarity, confidence and self-understanding.
