My name is Heath Addison and I have been involved in family counselling for over 15 years. I prefer to use the term relationship consultant as a consultant will always situate your expert (family) knowledge with you the client - not me, the ‘counsellor'. Therefor consultant sits better for the models of practice I draw upon in our work together. I am a passionate ‘Narrative Therapist' - as this Australian counselling framework refutes the idea of individuals having internal deficits, or people as being somehow problematic within their own lives. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in broad based Counselling models & a Master's Degree in Narrative Therapy which informs my practice. I am also an accredited member of The Australian Counselling Association and I am always happy to hear your questions.

My clients (who are individuals or couples) present with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, work issues, stress, concerns about sexuality or about addictive behaviours, loss, trauma, low self-esteem and personal development or a range of other issues. I specialise in working with people who feel stuck in their work or relationships and want to learn more about themselves - intensive, one to one therapy. Areas that may be covered include shame, addictions, and self-defeating patterns. I also specialise in working with people in the creative professions, dance, theatre, film and cinema.
