About Cornelius
Cornelius "Corey" Human is a PACFA counsellor with 18 years of experience based on the Gold Coast of Australia. He works with adults and couples, and his practice commonly focuses on depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans.
Corey listens for patterns that start in the family of origin and keep turning up in a person's life. He helps people notice how roles, expectations and early attachments shape current choices and reactions. Conversations are direct and practical, with an eye to everyday changes a person can try between sessions.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand closeness, boundaries and long-term patterns from childhood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing difficult feelings without being led by them.
Corey also works with intimacy and parenting concerns, grief, anger and career stress. He has experience supporting people through adoption and foster-care issues, attachment difficulties, and recovery from drug and alcohol problems. Sessions aim to make sense of what repeats, and then give manageable steps to change it.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Corey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural experiments to see what changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression and problem behaviours such as substance misuse. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and boundary-setting. It can help with intimacy, parenting and recurrent relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Corey will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. He aims to explore options collaboratively and adjust the approach as practical needs become clearer.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to continue work when they have relocation or scheduling pressures. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can explain and adapt methods so sessions remain focused and useful.
