Cornelius "Corey" Human

Cornelius "Corey" Human helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship strain. He works with adults, adolescents and couples who want clearer communication and healthier connection. Corey writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person.

Corey uses straightforward methods in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values. Attachment-based work and emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about closeness and trust.

He has practised for 18 years and brings that experience to meetings with new clients. Corey aims for practical steps you can use between sessions, such as ways to manage overwhelm, improve communication, or rebuild trust after hurt.

Corey can support people dealing with parenting stresses, grief, addictions, ADHD, or changes at work. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, body image, and coping with trauma and abuse. Sessions are available in English and Afrikaans.

Corey is based on the Gold Coast in Australia and holds PACFA as a credential. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits them. The process is designed to help match needs and preferences before the first meeting.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them, then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and can help with stress, addictions and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can guide work on intimacy, trust and communication.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and may adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to say what feels most helpful and to test different ways of working across sessions.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online methods. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools such as worksheets or real-time behavioural exercises during a session. Appropriately qualified therapists aim to make online sessions practical and focused on real-life changes.
