Heath Addison

Heath Addison is an older male therapist credentialed in Australia with 24 years of professional experience. He has extensive experience supporting people who are affected by stress and anxiety, and he regularly works with clients facing relationship and parenting challenges.

Heath specialises in responding to the effects of trauma, abuse and violence, and he is prepared to address painful histories without avoiding the details that matter to recovery. He also works with people who have used violence against loved ones and who want to confront and change patterns of relationship abuse.

Heath aims to create an open and safe environment where thoughts, feelings and actions can be explored reflectively, free from shame, blame or a sense of personal deficit. He frames therapy as relational work and commits to an authentic connection, genuine care and sustained interest in each client’s story and experience.

He recognises that taking the first step into therapy takes courage, and he seeks to reduce the barriers that have held people back from the very first contact. The therapeutic approaches he draws upon are designed to promote a sense of movement and increased capacity, often within the first couple of meetings and continuing as work progresses.
