More about Tyler

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • PACFA

I am a counsellor in Australia with 5 years of professional work experience as a terapist, and 18 years total of working with young people and their families in a variety of community support roles. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I am a family therapist specialising in trauma, I also enjoy helping individuals and couples find solutions to their own challenges through the theraputic processs. I strongly believe that good therapy is an encounter, and not a performance where I as the therapist am an "expert". Rather, it is a conversation, which means to wonder with. I don't have all of the answers, I have experience at finding what are helpful questions to explore together.

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.
