Mr William Macaulay

Psychotherapist

“Delivering expert counselling and psychotherapy services in Perth, specialising in assisting individuals to conquer anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship obstacles, trauma, low self-esteem, and a diverse array of LGBT issues.”

About Me

Life's challenges, from anxiety to relationship hurdles, can feel overwhelming. In Perth, I offer a warm, expert space. We can gently explore difficult emotions like anger or low self-esteem, finding practical ways forward. My practice also provides understanding support for addictions, trauma, and a diverse array of LGBT issues. My aim is to help you gain clarity and build lasting resilience.

Approach

Working with anxiety, mood and relationship strain, I offer a practical, collaborative way of working that balances careful listening with clear, manageable steps. Sessions take place in Como, WA in English and are face-to-face, paced to your needs, often including short between-session tasks to build new patterns. I blend focused conversation with skill teaching from CBT and straightforward psychoeducation, using reflective exercises and small experiments to notice triggers and strengthen coping. This hands-on approach suits adolescents, adults and families seeking steady, practical change.
