More about Heath
- 24 years' experience
- Male
- ACA
I am credentialed in Australia with 24 years of professional work experience. I have vast experience aligning with clients in response to the impacts of stress and anxiety, relationship issues & parenting issues. I specialise in responding to the experiences and impacts of trauma, abuse and violence, without fear of rehashing details of painful (horrendous) experience.
I also specialise in working with those who have used violence against loved ones and wish to address relationship abuses.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts, feelings and actions can be shared reflectively, without fear of shame, blame or personal deficit. This work must feel relational for those who engage with me, and i commit to an authentic connection, care and interest in your story and experience.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, but from the initial contact, the barriers that have held us back should begin to reduce immediately.
The modes of therapeutic intervention i draw upon in our work together will usually support the feeling and capacity for movement within the first couple of meetings, and moving forwards.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
