Expert LGBTQIA+ Counselling

About

Bent Couch Counselling was founded by Shaun Williams, a proud Wotjobaluk man, registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), and experienced healthcare professional with 20+ years in health. Based in Melbourne, Bent Couch Counselling offers a safe, inclusive space that supports mental health and positive change within the LGBTIQA+ community, particularly for those who identify as male.

Shaun’s approach is grounded in empathy, lived experience, and authenticity. As a cis gay man and father, he brings a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by his clients. Shaun offers individual and couples counselling, both online across Australia and in person in Melbourne, using therapeutic approaches such as Talk Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

In addition to individual and relationship support, Shaun also facilitates group sessions, mentoring, and training, creating opportunities for connection, growth, and healing within the community.

Appointments are available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with flexible times to suit your needs.
