About Cornelius

Cornelius "Corey" Human is a counsellor with 18 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain and changes that come with big life events. He also supports people facing addictions, grief and self-esteem concerns. Corey speaks English and Afrikaans and is based in Australia.

Corey uses straightforward, conversational sessions where clients can talk through what matters to them. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice what matters and build practical steps. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on daily life changes rather than long lists of jargon.

His work includes attention to attachment issues, abandonment and adoption and foster care concerns when these are relevant to the client. He also offers support around parenting stress, compassion fatigue and the pressure carers can feel. Corey often addresses communication and commitment issues that show up in relationships.

Over nearly two decades he has worked with adults, couples and adolescents on a range of emotional and behavioural challenges. He frames therapy as a process of small experiments and steady learning. That makes it easier to try new habits and see what helps in ordinary life.

People who meet him can expect clear explanations, practical strategies and a warm, non-judgemental manner. To begin, readers should check the site booking flow and the matching process to arrange a first session.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating in the present, which can help with intimacy and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and direction of work, helpful when someone needs to feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that suit the person's goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

If you are considering online therapy, check the booking details to confirm which session formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when heavier support isn't needed. They can also suit quieter surroundings or situations where being on camera is not wanted. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and conducted.
