Accessing Therapy Online: A Flexible Approach

Not in Sydney? That’s no problem, we offer confidential and stress-free online counselling sessions to clients across Australia (and sometimes even further afield). Our virtual platform ensures that you can receive the help you need from the comfort of your own home.
Though we may not be in the same room, this service delivery method is very effective and can sometimes be even more conducive to the process of adult and relationship counselling services, allowing clients to open up in a familiar and relaxed environment.
Online counselling sessions also allow additional flexibility with session times, hopefully making therapy more accessible to potential clients. This flexibility is designed to accommodate various schedules, which is essential in today’s fast-paced world.
Joel works several evenings every week, aside from traditional business hours, and offers Saturday morning session times too. This commitment to accessibility means you can find a session that fits your schedule.
We pride ourselves on offering a fully tailored approach to your individual needs with the goal of improving things for you not just in the now, but into the future too.
We pride ourselves on offering a fully tailored approach to your individual needs with the goal of improving things for you not just in the now, but into the future too. This personalised approach is at the heart of our counselling philosophy.
Joel utilises a strong theoretical framework in his approach, including elements of Transactional Analysis, Schema Therapy, CBT, and DBT. This diverse range of methodologies allows for a holistic treatment that can address various concerns.
The goal is to help clients build their self-awareness and skill set, particularly around communication, validation, and interpersonal relationships. Through this growth, we aim to empower you to face life’s challenges with confidence.
Investing a little time and money in yourself and your relationship can have lasting, positive effects. Many clients report improved relationships and personal satisfaction after just a few sessions.
Some of Joel’s academic qualifications include a Diploma of Counselling (CHC51015), Certification in Holistic Counselling and Life Coaching, Meditation Certification, and a Couples and Family Therapy Diploma. These credentials reflect his commitment to continuous professional development and effective therapeutic practices.
