About Heath
Heath Addison is an ACA counsellor with 24 years of professional experience in Australia. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain and parenting concerns. He also responds to the impacts of trauma, abuse and violence, and helps people who want to address past harmful behaviours in relationships.
He works to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about thoughts, feelings and actions. He emphasises a relational way of working, aiming to build an authentic connection so people feel heard and understood. Shame and blame are not used as tools in sessions.
Heath is used to working with strong emotions like anger, panic and overwhelming guilt. He helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication breakdowns. He also supports people facing separation, workplace stress, loneliness and low self-worth.
In early contacts he aims to lower the barriers that make seeking help hard. His approach seeks to create movement within the first couple of meetings and to help clients take practical next steps. He invites people to bring their stories and to work at a pace that feels manageable.
People who prefer a direct, relational style may find his manner helpful. He encourages honest conversation and interest in each person’s experience. Readers should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and finding the right fit online
Heath draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and emotion regulation. One common way he works involves helping people name and sit with difficult feelings, then try practical steps to reduce reactivity and overwhelm; this helps with anger, panic and mood swings. Another approach focuses on attachment and communication patterns, looking at how early relationships shape current responses and teaching clearer ways to connect and set boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heath will talk with you about your goals, your usual ways of coping, and what feels manageable. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as you go.

It can also let people join reliably when work or caregiving makes leaving home difficult. Appropriately qualified counsellors and therapists can adapt the methods used in person to an online setting so you can continue making progress.
