About
Guillaume Walters-du Plooy (AHPRA) is a mental health counsellor with more than 15 years of experience supporting people through trauma, mood and anxiety concerns, behavioural challenges, and the stresses that can come with life transitions and adjustment. His work is grounded in collaboration, helping clients explore what is happening internally and externally while moving toward meaningful personal growth.
He has practiced across hospital, outpatient, and community settings, and has extensive experience supporting both adolescents and adults across the age spectrum. This background informs a practical, flexible style that can meet clients where they are, whether they are navigating immediate difficulties or longer-standing patterns that feel hard to shift.
His PhD research focused on complex and treatment-resistant eating disorders, and he maintains a strong and ongoing interest in helping people who are struggling with eating and food-related problems. Guillaume prioritizes counselling techniques and principles with a strong research base, while staying closely attuned to each person’s needs, goals, and lived experience. He aims to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can work through thoughts, feelings, and challenges at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where the client’s perspective leads the work. It can be especially helpful when someone wants space to sort through emotions, identity questions, or the impact of difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often involves practical exercises that can help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills for challenges such as low mood, anxiety, or behavior changes.
Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and choice, especially during periods of transition or when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure of direction. It can support deeper reflection while still staying connected to everyday life goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Guillaume Walters-du Plooy works collaboratively, drawing on the methods that best fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusting as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support without commuting. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing routines, and different communication styles.
