About Lewis
Lewis Williams is an AHPRA-registered psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, or depression. He meets each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion and aims to make the first steps less daunting.
He focuses on clear, practical conversations and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. Lewis uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Background and approach
He also draws on trauma-focused methods and EMDR when trauma is part of the problem. Sessions are usually collaborative and goal-oriented. He will work with clients to set manageable steps and check progress along the way.
Lewis aims to create a steady pace so people feel in control of the work. He can also help when anxiety shows up as panic attacks, social phobia, or workplace stress. Other areas he supports include chronic pain, ongoing illness, guilt or shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
People can expect straightforward language and a calm approach. Lewis tailors the conversation to what matters most to each person and adapts the plan as things change.
Approaches that suit online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It is often used for anxiety, panic and mood problems and works well when someone wants practical tools for daily situations.EMDR, or eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, helps when past traumatic events continue to cause distress. It uses guided attention and structured processing to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they trigger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then try methods that suit those needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you use face-to-face interaction from a distance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and fit into busy lives.
