Online Grief & Loss Therapy

Award-Winning Online Grief and Loss Therapy Across Australia
Gentle, Culturally Sensitive Support for Life After Loss

Grief has no timetable. It can feel like the world has shifted beneath your feet - leaving emptiness, confusion, or even anger in its place. At Lived Experience Solutions (LEXs), I offer award-winning online grief and loss therapy across Australia, creating a compassionate space where your emotions are welcome, your story is honoured, and healing unfolds at your pace.


Whether you’re facing the loss of a loved one, a relationship, health, identity, or another major life change, support is available - without judgement, labels, or expectations.


How Online Grief and Loss Therapy Helps

Through personalised online sessions, we work together to:

  • Process grief safely and at your pace

  • Explore meaning, identity, and change after loss

  • Navigate complex emotions such as guilt, anger, or disbelief

  • Rebuild daily rhythms, hope, and self-compassion

  • Honour your loss while reconnecting with life

I also support NDIS participants (self- and plan-managed) who seek trauma-informed, culturally responsive support for grief and transition.


With no waitlists, flexible scheduling, and confidential online access, LEXs brings gentle, professional support to you - wherever you are in Australia.


What Online Grief and Loss Therapy Can Support

Grief can show up in many forms. Therapy can help you navigate:

  • Bereavement after death of a loved one

  • Relationship endings or family estrangement

  • Loss of health, identity, or life direction

  • Anticipatory grief or caregiver burnout

  • Grief intertwined with trauma or depression

  • Cultural and spiritual dimensions of mourning

  • Feelings of emptiness, anger, guilt, or isolation

You don’t need to “move on”. Healing is about integrating loss - finding ways to carry love and memory while rediscovering meaning in your own time.

Michael Elwan

I’m Michael Elwan, an Accredited Social Worker (AASW), PhD Candidate in Mental Health, and the founder of Lived Experience Solutions (LEXs).

My award-winning practice is shaped by both lived and professional experience. In 2025, I received the WA Mental Health Award for Lived Experience Impact & Inspiration and was recognised as a Finalist for the AASW National Social Worker of the Year. These honours reflect my lifelong commitment to making grief, loss, and mental-health care more human, compassionate, and culturally responsive.

My understanding of grief is deeply personal - shaped by early loss, suicide bereavement, caregiving, migration, and rebuilding life after profound change. With more than 15 years in mental health, trauma, and community services, I bring empathy, steadiness, and hope to every session.

At LEXs, my approach is trauma-informed, culturally attuned, and rooted in care. Whether you’re grieving a person, a season, or a sense of self, our work together centres on compassion, meaning, and reconnection.

Healing begins when you are met with understanding. That’s the heart of my work - and the reason LEXs exists.
