Hi Drew76-,
It is great that you are reaching out here. I'm sorry to hear about your mother. A great resource for those recently affected by the lost of a love one is griefline.org.au. They offer support and counselling for anyone affected by grief.
There is no specific type of counselling when it comes to depression. The best option is to approach your GP for a referral to a psychologist. The psychologist will then work with you individually.
Hope this helps a bit.
Bob
