Dr Saad Butt

Counselor (Unregistered)

“OptacCare are committed to providing a flexible and convenient service that assists individuals achieve their goals and reach their full potential.”

About Me

I help individuals achieve their goals and unlock their full potential. Drawing on a PhD and Diploma in Mental Health, I offer a flexible, convenient service. We will explore practical strategies together, helping you navigate challenges and find clear pathways forward. This supportive, collaborative space is ideal for those seeking to build resilience and lasting well-being.

Approach

With flexible support at the core, sessions move at a practical, goal-oriented pace that respects your rhythms and responsibilities. In Townsville or online, in English or Hindi/Urdu, we work collaboratively to break concerns into manageable steps—exploring coping tools, safety planning when needed, and short, realistic exercises to practise between meetings. Conversations are direct but supportive, balancing immediate relief with building longer-term resilience. This approach suits adults, parents and couples seeking clear pathways through anxiety, relationship strains or major life transitions.
