Hello, I'm Dr Paul !
Thank you for reading this short message.
I am credentialed in Australia in social work and have 33 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, and family matters.
I am very happy to be here and hope that, maybe, I can work with you to discuss your concerns, issues, or problems that you may want to talk about.
I am really easy to talk to (!) and I am sensitive.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.
I am here to support and walk with you in that journey.
Warm Regards
Dr Paul O'Neal

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
