About Heath
Heath Addison is an ACA counsellor with 24 years of professional experience in Australia. He focuses on stress, anxiety and relationship concerns, and is known for addressing the impact of trauma and abuse. Heath aims to make first contact straightforward so people feel less burdened by the time they decide to start therapy.
He works in a direct and relational way. He invites honest conversation about thoughts, feelings and actions without shaming or blaming. The goal is to help people notice small shifts early on and build on them session by session.
Heath also works with people who have used violence in relationships and want to stop that behaviour and repair what they can. He accepts the difficult details that come with that work and helps people take responsibility while learning different ways to respond.
Sessions are intended to feel practical and grounded. Heath aims for interventions that create movement in the first few meetings and then deepen as trust grows. He pays attention to family dynamics, workplace strain and problems like panic attacks and mood changes.
He describes his role as being authentically present and interested in each person's story. He encourages people to take the first step, knowing that early contact is often the moment when barriers begin to lessen.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Heath draws on evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce unhelpful patterns and increase emotional regulation. One common approach focuses on recognising and changing the thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety and panic going, helping people practise different responses in day-to-day life. Another approach emphasises relational work and trauma recovery, where the therapist and client gently look at past hurts and learn safer ways of relating to others and to oneself.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heath will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you notice what helps. The work is gradual and guided by what feels useful and possible for you.
