About Lewis

Lewis Yarrow is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and addiction. He focuses on anger, trauma and coping with life changes. Lewis aims to create a calm space where clients can talk and be heard without interruption.

He has three years of experience and has worked as a volunteer counsellor supporting people with substance use and sexual or porn-related addictions. That work gave him practical exposure to the ups and downs of recovery and relapse.

Background and approach

He has also provided one-to-one support for men around anger and relationship conflict, and for women with body image and ageing concerns. In sessions he keeps a personal, direct style. He listens first, offers empathy, and gives honest feedback.

He encourages people to separate themselves from the problems they face so they can make clearer choices and take back control. Lewis draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with attachment issues, grief, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. He also works with process addictions such as porn, exercise and gambling, and with drug and alcohol concerns.

His approach aims to be practical and focused on day-to-day improvements. People who contact him usually start with a short conversation to describe what they are facing. From there Lewis helps set realistic goals and chooses strategies that match a person's needs and pace.

He supports people who want a straightforward, compassionate ally through difficult changes.

How his approaches translate online

Lewis uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One approach emphasises coping skills and stepwise behaviour change to reduce anxiety and manage urges in addiction. This involves setting small goals, rehearsing new responses and tracking progress over time. Another approach focuses on repairing attachment wounds and processing traumatic memories through guided conversations and safety-building exercises. This helps with trust, relationship strain and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lewis collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. He adjusts pace and techniques based on how someone responds, so therapy is a shared process rather than a fixed programme.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
