Hi Folks, My name is Barry Aneda. I am a registered Clinical Counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and a Level 3 Counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (MACA). I am also a Provisional Psychologist registered with AHPRA and pursuing a PsyD in Clinical Psychology (All but Dissertation status) at California Southern University with a concentration in Sport Psychology. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, sleep issues, LGBTQI topics, health and medical challenges, alcohol and drug issues, and career exploration.
I believes in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, and creative arts therapies. I also can provide assessments for emotional support animals. I have training in animal-assisted therapy and applied animal behavior.
I believe in the power to change, and he knows it takes courage to start a journey toward change. I tend to have a warm and interactive counselling style will integrate a strengths-based approach with cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, experiential and creative arts strategies to help you achieve your therapy goals and meet your unique, specific needs.
If you feel that you could benefit from the therapies I have to offer, please feel free to book an appointment. I am here to help.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
