Llumus offers specialist palliative and bereavement psychotherapy to individuals, families, and aged care organisations — in clinic, by telehealth, or in residence.
For those navigating grief, loss, and the end of life
Why Llumus?
Grief takes many forms. It arrives when a diagnosis changes everything, or in the long months of watching someone you love decline. It surfaces in the shift from carer to visitor, in the weeks after a death, and in the life that has to be rebuilt afterwards.
Llumus was established to meet people at every point in this arc — whatever form their grief takes, and wherever they are. We offer specialist psychotherapy that attends to what is present in the person, the family, and the room: not only to what can be named, but to what is being carried.
"Even when words fade, presence can still speak."
— Olivia Andrews, Llumus Care

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No referral needed — you can contact Llumus directly. Whether you are reaching out for yourself, a family member, or to discuss a professional referral, We will respond to all enquiries personally.
-
Grief counselling is typically structured and time-limited. Psychotherapy is a deeper clinical process — attending to the full complexity of experience, including accumulated grief, trauma, and identity. Llumus offers counselling and psychotherapy.
-
Llumus is a private practice. Psychotherapy is not covered under Medicare's Better Access scheme, but may be covered by some private health insurance extras. Please ask when you get in touch.
-
If grief, loss, or end of life is present in your life — in any form — you are welcome here. There is no threshold to meet and no level of distress you need to reach first. An initial conversation carries no obligation.
-
There is no fixed duration. Some people come for a small number of sessions; others work with Llumus over a longer period. Pace and duration are reviewed together throughout.
-
Sessions are available in clinic (Sydney), by telehealth across Australia, and in residence at palliative units and aged care facilities in Sydney. Telehealth is conducted via a secure video platform.
