Hi, I'm Andrew and thanks for stopping by. With over 15 years counselling experience, I am a registered clinical psychotherapist with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. My experience covers working with clients from all walks of life in helping them make sense of the things that are getting in the way. My approach is supportive and grounded in an evidenced based integrative model. Client's have said that in working with me they feel cared for, safe and able to talk about things that are challenging them. I provide health insurance rebates for most providers.
Working with both individuals and relationships. I am available for private Zoom based appointments across a range of days and times. I offer a free initial 15 minute consult which is a really good way for us to meet, for you to ask any questions and to decide if you would like to work with me. I work with folks around the world (except North America).
The benefits of video-based counselling and its effectiveness were well tested during COVID-19 lockdowns. This approach saves time on finding parking, rushing to appointments and allows you to decide where you want to be for the session. It is private, secure and effective. I am patient and can help first time users become comfortable.
