About Heath
ACA counsellor Heath Addison has 24 years of professional experience in Australia. He focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also works with people who have used violence in relationships and want to address that behaviour.
He helps people talk through difficult, painful events without insisting they repeat every detail. Sessions aim to reduce shame and blame while looking at feelings, thoughts and actions. He emphasises a relational way of working and strives for an honest, engaged connection with each person.
His practice addresses immediate symptoms and everyday coping. Early meetings often concentrate on lowering distress and creating small changes that feel possible. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to encourage movement within the first few sessions.
He works with common, practical problems such as panic attacks, mood difficulties, workplace stress and relationship communication problems. He also focuses on attachment concerns, abandonment, control issues, guilt and shame, and isolation.
He describes the start of therapy as a practical step: a short matching process followed by scheduling a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and follow standard professional expectations in Australia. Costs vary by location and are supplied through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to remote work
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing distress and improving relationships. One approach emphasises stabilising symptoms and building coping skills for anxiety and panic; it involves short practical strategies to manage episodes and lower immediate stress. Another approach centres on relational work for trauma and abuse, helping people reflect on attachment patterns and how past hurts affect current relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reassessed as sessions progress. The site notes session formats and scheduling details on the booking page, so please confirm current session options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions to occur from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can adapt techniques to work across a range of practical setups.Sheet 3
