More about Kristopher

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • AASW

As a credentialed professional in Australia with extensive experience in mental health, I have worked across a variety of settings, helping clients navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, career transitions, and depression. I also have significant experience supporting individuals and communities in post-disaster recovery, helping them rebuild their mental health and resilience. My background in mental health practice and my work supporting veterans, families, and disaster-affected communities have allowed me to develop a compassionate, strengths-based approach to care. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can freely express their thoughts and emotions. I understand the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and balanced life, and I am here to support and guide my clients on their journey toward positive change. I aim to help individuals build resilience, gain clarity, and achieve long-lasting well-being through collaborative, client-centred care.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
