About the Perinatal Loss Centre's Therapist Register (under construction...)
The Perinatal Loss Therapist Register is a courtesy facility to provide information on registered therapists who may be available to support bereaved parents. Our intention is to enhance access to Australia-wide counselling support for parents who have experienced perinatal loss.
On this page, you will find information and links to Therapists around Australia who have completed The Perinatal Loss Centre's training course, Perinatal Loss in Practice: What Therapists Need to Know.
This course, in association with the Centre of Perinatal Excellence (COPE), complements therapists' general training, with a specific focus on the grief associated perinatal loss: Fertility losses, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, medically-informed termination, neonatal death and infant death.
