About Lewis
Lewis Yarrow is an ACA counsellor practising on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, with three years of counselling experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with life changes, and lists life purpose as a focus. Sessions are offered in English and aim to help people untangle problems that feel stuck or overwhelming.
Lewis's background includes volunteer counselling roles where he supported people facing substance and sexual/porn addictions. He has also worked primarily with men on anger management and relationship conflict. He has assisted women with body image and ageing concerns, and supported people with attachment and trauma-related difficulties.
In sessions Lewis keeps the structure simple. He lets clients speak without interruption and listens with consistent regard. He separates the person from the problem and focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce the problem's hold on their life.
His work addresses a wide range of struggles related to control, guilt and shame, infidelity, self-harm, sexual assault and sexual dysfunction. He also works with process addictions such as gambling, exercise and porn, and with drug and alcohol addiction.
Lewis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in his practice and frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Lewis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems that feel entrenched. One common approach is a problem-focused behavioural method that identifies patterns that maintain stress, anxiety and addictive behaviour, then tests practical changes to those patterns. This helps people see what shifts reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.Another approach is trauma-informed work that gently attends to past harm while helping clients build clearer boundaries and responses in the present. This can be useful for people dealing with sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, attachment wounds or ongoing shame and guilt.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Lewis will talk through different techniques and match them to a person’s needs and goals rather than insisting on a single method. He reviews progress and adapts the plan as the work unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and appropriately qualified practitioners can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to test small behavioural changes between meetings.
