Hello there and thank you for looking at my profile.

My name is Andrew Reay.

I offer a holistic approach and range of therapies to facilitate growth and help achieve the changes my clients are seeking.

I firmly believe that my clients have the power to shift their thinking. I use a blend of Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Counselling techniques in addition to Brainspotting (BSP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Ego State Therapy and other techniques in my work with clients.

My diverse range of life experience, positive attitude and capacity to embrace others with respect and empathy allows me to assist many clients to achieve their goals in a confidential, practical way.

I am a registered and accredited Supervisor for Counsellors with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation Australia (PACFA) also an accredited Supervisor for Clinical Hypnotherapists with the Australian Hypnotherapist’ Association (AHA), the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists (ASCH) and the Australian Association of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy (AACHP).

My clients tell me that I am an approachable friendly and competent therapist with a range of effective therapeutic interventions.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, depression, self esteem, and confidence challenges.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique individual and specific needs.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

If you choose to work with me, I look forward to helping you achieve your worthwhile goals and life direction aspirations.

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.
