About Lewis
Lewis Yarrow is an ACA counsellor based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, with three years' experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with life changes. Lewis also helps with attachment and control issues, and the effects of sexual assault and related concerns.
Lewis began his direct work through volunteer counselling roles focused on substance use and sexual/porn addictions. He has spent significant time supporting men with anger management and relationship conflict. He has also worked with women on body image and ageing concerns while supporting people with attachment and trauma-related difficulties.
Sessions aim to give people space to speak uninterrupted and to be heard. Lewis describes a personal style in the room that centres listening and clear, practical conversation. He separates the person from the problem in plain language, helping people look at patterns rather than blame themselves.
In practice Lewis will talk through how anger shows up, what keeps it cycling, and small changes someone can try between sessions. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addictive behaviours and trauma reactions, and to reduce day-to-day reactivity.
People usually come for straightforward tools they can use at work, at home, or when relationships are strained. Lewis works in English and supports clients locally in Australia. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How sessions work
Approaches and working online
Lewis draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anger, addiction, and trauma reactions. One common approach focuses on recognising triggers and changing automatic patterns of response; it teaches practical skills for noticing early signs of anger and choosing different actions. Another approach used for addictive behaviours emphasises understanding the cycle that keeps the behaviour going and developing alternative coping strategies to break that cycle.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Lewis will discuss different options, get feedback on what feels helpful, and adjust methods based on a client's goals and everyday life. The process is collaborative and practical, with attention to what works between sessions as well as during them.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, turn off video if preferred, or choose times that better match work or family commitments.
