About me
My name is Adham Hammoud. I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Registered Counsellor with over 15 years of experience working across mental health, counselling, hospital, crisis, trauma and private practice settings.
I provide counselling and psychotherapy for adolescents and adults, with face-to-face appointments in Moonee Ponds and telehealth appointments Australia-wide.
My approach is warm, collaborative and tailored to each person. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT and EMDR, depending on your individual needs and goals.
Areas of support
I support individuals with a wide range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, stressful life situations, addictions, personality disorders, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, ADHD, autism, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ mental health.
My therapy utilises various approaches, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.
Compassionate, respectful, non-judgemental and person-centred
I will work with you at a pace that you are comfortable with. You can share as much or as little as you like. I am comfortable to "go there", to that place you may have been avoiding for so long, out of fear of judgement.
Culturally sensitive
I am very happy and comfortable to work with people from all walks of life - no matter what ethnicity, cultural background, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or beliefs.
Evidence-informed mental health care
My approach draws on established therapeutic approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT and EMDR, tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Acknowledgement of Country
I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which I live and work, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, and pay my respects to Elders past and present. I recognise and honour the enduring strength, resilience, cultures and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters, community and culture.
Valuing Lived Experience
I believe that lived experience is a source of knowledge, strength and wisdom. Whether you have experienced mental health challenges, trauma, grief, addiction, discrimination, family violence or other life difficulties, your experiences matter and deserve to be understood in their full context. My approach is collaborative and respectful, recognising that you are the expert in your own life and that meaningful change is built on a foundation of trust, curiosity and compassion.
LGBTQIA+ Affirmation
I am committed to providing an affirming, inclusive and non-judgemental space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples and families. I welcome people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions and relationship structures. Therapy should be a place where you can bring your whole self without fear of judgement, and where your identity is respected, affirmed and understood as an important part of who you are.
As a practitioner, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment that recognises the unique strengths, challenges and experiences of LGBTQIA+ communities.
Culturally and Faith-Informed Care
I have experience working with individuals from culturally diverse communities, including clients seeking a therapist who understands the intersection of faith/religion, spirituality, culture, family, identity and mental health.
Whether faith/religion and/or spirituality is central to your life, something you are questioning, or not relevant to your goals, therapy will be tailored to your individual needs and values.
