About Cornelius
Cornelius "Corey" Human welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck in difficult relationships. He is a counsellor with 18 years' experience who works with adults, adolescents and couples. Corey writes in plain terms and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone searching for help.

Over nearly two decades Corey has worked with a broad range of concerns, including grief and end-of-life matters, addictions, parenting strains, trauma, and relationship breakdown. He helps people tackle practical problems like communication and boundaries as well as deeper struggles such as self-worth and coping after loss.

New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and the therapist's availability.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Corey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and then commit to small actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people improve how they connect and communicate with others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Corey will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. He combines listening with practical steps and checks in with clients to adjust the plan as needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you are considering working online, confirm which session formats are available before booking, since current options are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, schedule shorter follow-ups, or choose a session style that suits daily routines.
