About Lewis
ACA counsellor Lewis Yarrow has three years of experience and works from the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with life changes. Lewis also focuses on attachment issues, control issues, substance and process addictions, and sexual and relationship concerns.
Lewis's style is direct and personal. He offers space for people to speak without interruption and listens with steady attention. He aims to separate a person from the problems they face so those problems can be looked at and addressed more clearly.
Many of his past roles were volunteer counselling positions where he worked with people experiencing substance use and sexual or porn-related addictions. He has also provided focused work with men on anger management and relationship conflict, and supported women with body image and ageing concerns.
Sessions typically centre on practical conversation about what is happening now and what changes a person wants to make. Lewis makes time for emotional material while keeping the work grounded in day-to-day steps that can be tried between sessions. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the process.
People who choose him can expect straightforward dialogue about patterns, reactions and choices. The aim is to identify small, workable changes and reduce the hold that problematic behaviours and past harms have on daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Lewis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work with anxiety, addictions and trauma. Cognitive-style approaches help identify unhelpful thinking and develop small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and problematic behaviours. Trauma-focused strategies involve stabilisation, grounding and paced processing of distressing memories so a person can feel less dominated by past events.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss problems, goals and preferences and then trial methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as work proceeds so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow a person to continue work with the same counsellor from different locations, subject to the therapist's local practice arrangements and scheduling.
