Foundations of Grief Counselling Practice (2-Day Workshop)

Workshop Schedule This workshop is delivered across two face-to-face training days. Day One Friday 30 October 2026 • 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Day Two Friday 6 November 2026 • 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Your registration includes attendance on both workshop days. Registration: AUD $495 (includes both workshop days, a comprehensive participant workbook, tea, coffee and light refreshments during breaks, and a Certificate of Completion suitable for CPD records.) The workshop is intentionally limited to a maximum of 24 participants to provide a highly interactive learning experience with opportunities for discussion, reflection and practical application. Grief rarely follows a predictable path. Many practitioners encounter clients whose experiences of loss are complex, prolonged, ambiguous, or difficult to make sense of using traditional grief models. This two-day professional development workshop equips counsellors and other professionals supporting people through grief and loss—including school wellbeing staff, psychologists, social workers, healthcare professionals, chaplains and pastoral carers—with contemporary grief frameworks, practical assessment tools and evidence-informed interventions that can be applied immediately in practice. Rather than focusing solely on theory, the workshop integrates current grief research with practical counselling skills through case conceptualisation, discussion, guided reflection, and applied learning. Participants will leave with greater confidence in supporting clients experiencing bereavement, significant life transitions, and complex grief presentations. Designed specifically for practising counsellors and helping professionals, this workshop provides evidence-informed, clinically applicable professional development that can be translated directly into practice.
