About Heath
Heath Addison is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 24 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and anger. Heath also helps with related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems and workplace stress.
Heath responds to the impacts of trauma and abuse directly. He does not avoid painful details when those memories need to be addressed. He also works with people who recognise they have used violence against loved ones and want to change those patterns in their relationships.
In sessions Heath focuses on an open, honest relationship. He invites clients to share thoughts, feelings and actions without shame or blame. He aims for a straightforward, relational way of working rather than an overly technical approach.
Heath says early contact should reduce the barriers that have held someone back. He looks to create movement within the first couple of meetings, helping people notice small changes they can build on. His way of working combines direct conversation with practical steps to manage intense emotions.
Heath’s experience includes work with mood difficulties, panic, impulsivity, guilt and shame, isolation and men’s issues. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on helping people manage everyday pressures and difficult reactions such as anger and resentment.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Heath draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotion regulation and relational change. One common approach centres on helping people notice and label feelings, then practise responses that reduce escalation; this is useful for work stress, anger and panic responses. Another approach targets the impact of past hurt on current relationships by exploring attachment patterns and how they shape communication and trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heath will discuss options with each person and select techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. He aims to be collaborative, adjusting methods as progress is observed so the work remains practical and focused.
