About Cornelius
Cornelius "Corey" Human is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with 18 years' experience. He works with adults, adolescents and couples who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and addiction. Sessions are practical and focused on what to do differently day to day.
Corey uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to spot patterns and try new responses. He also uses attachment-focused and emotionally-oriented methods when relationship patterns are the main concern.
Sessions typically involve identifying a small number of goals. People learn short exercises for managing anxiety, shifting difficult moods, or improving communication. He also offers coaching-style support for career moves and life changes when that is helpful.
Corey has long experience with grief, trauma and relationship conflict. He helps people facing separation, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and substance concerns. He also works with issues connected to identity and intimacy, including LGBT-related concerns and body image.
He speaks English and Afrikaans and works from the Gold Coast region of Australia. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session that clarifies goals and a practical plan.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Corey commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in a straightforward way. CBT identifies specific thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and gives short exercises to practise outside sessions. ACT helps people notice values and take small steps toward them, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. He also uses attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns are part of the presenting problem, focusing on how emotional responses shape interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences in the first session and choose methods together. That may mean a problem-focused CBT plan for anxiety or an ACT-informed plan for coping with life changes, with attachment or emotionally-focused techniques added when relationships are central.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and appropriately qualified or registered counsellors can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the practical work continues between meetings.
