About Lewis

Lewis Yarrow is an ACA counsellor based on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, with three years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on attachment issues, control issues and problems such as drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions.

Lewis has volunteered as a community counsellor, including hands-on work with people facing substance use and sexual or porn-related addictions. He has spent time working specifically with men on anger management and relationship conflicts, and with women on body image and ageing concerns. He also supports people dealing with trauma and attachment difficulties.

In sessions he lets clients speak without interruption and listens with acceptance. He separates the person from the problem and aims to help people respond differently to situations that trigger anger or shame. The focus is on practical ways to reduce harmful patterns and regain a sense of control.

Lewis draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and sexual assault and abuse. He works with addiction-related problems including gambling, exercise and sex-related process addictions, and with drug and alcohol concerns.

People can expect straightforward conversation about why patterns repeat, what keeps them going, and small, practical steps to change responses. Sessions look at relationships, forgiveness, self-love and purpose as part of moving past entrenched anger and resentment.

He provides counselling in English and does not currently accept international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Lewis uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behaviour and response patterns. One approach looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to spot triggers and teach different reactions. This helps with anger, anxiety and stress by giving concrete steps to try when a trigger appears.

Another approach addresses trauma and attachment by helping people understand how past experiences shape current responses. It works by naming patterns, reducing shame, and practising new ways of relating to others and to oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as new issues come up.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy day and making it easier to keep appointments from different locations. Because this profile does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain momentum between work and family commitments.
