About Cornelius

Cornelius "Corey" Human is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 18 years of clinical experience. He works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction and mood concerns. He also assists people coping with life changes and career pressures.

Corey keeps sessions direct and practical. He helps people talk through what feels overwhelming and build clearer next steps. Conversations focus on everyday problems like starting a job, managing money, relationship strain and feeling behind peers.

His work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He uses these to help people notice what matters, try out new behaviours and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions often include straightforward exercises and real-life practice between meetings.

Corey speaks English and Afrikaans and is based on the Gold Coast in Australia. He has spent most of his career working with adults and couples on issues including trauma, grief, intimacy, addiction and ADHD. He aims to make progress feel manageable, one step at a time.

For people unsure how to begin, he suggests starting with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. That first meeting is used to set goals and agree how to work together going forward.

How his approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to clarify what matters to them and practise actions that match those values. It suits issues like anxiety, feeling stuck and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours to change emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing elements from different approaches if that fits the person's needs.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around study, shifts or commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone avoid travel so they can use their break time for therapy. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can guide what will work best and adapt sessions to practical constraints.
