Do you ever struggle with how you see yourself and how you show up in relationships? Is something getting in the way of allowing you to meet your needs and connect with others? There is a road to finding value in yourself and an ability to be in healthy relationships when you take the step to put yourself first, increase your awareness and address your concerns. Find Reason Therapy creates a safe space to help you find the whole unique you with worth, values, and needs, guiding you to connect to stuck emotional pain in order to live a life with purpose and meaning.
We all have a concern or problem that we find challenging or difficult that we present with, working together with me will not only address and connect to what you present with but unpack what happened, and what lies beneath the surface of the identified issue in self and relationship and continue to identify who you are.

Heath Gerrard
"I think the most beautiful thing in the world is watching the light come back on in
someone’s eyes when they have been lost in the dark for so long."
The light returned to Heath's eyes when he embarked on his own recovery journey 11 years
ago. The unexpected gift that emerged from the struggle was a passion for the transformative recovery process and helping guide others out of the darkness.
Heath is a Registered Counsellor and has worked at treatment centres throughout Australia
over the last 10 years, most recently at South Pacific Private in Sydney for 6.5 years. An avid
lover of analogies and the many catchphrases picked up along the way in this setting and
12-step fellowships, he prides himself on delivering guidance and support in an easy-to-
follow and empathic manner as someone who has also walked down a dark path and found
a new way. On that note, Heath believes a key aspect of embarking on the journey of self-discovery is doing a deep dive to uncover the underlying core issues and heal the old wounds that lie beneath the surface, often unwittingly driving 'the tip of the iceberg'; or presenting problems showing up in our everyday life – namely our relationship with ourselves and others. This in- depth reflection serves as a solid foundation to then resource you with the tools to achieve profound and lasting change.
Recovery has provided the opportunity for Heath to recently make the move to Bali to work
remotely, surf, and hang out with his partners one-eyed rescue dog, Twiggy. He is available online via Telehealth.
Bevan Pfeiffer
I’m a therapist who works with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves more deeply and build relationships that feel more honest, connected, and fulfilling, whether that’s in love, work, or life as a whole.
The people I work with often carry a lot: responsibilities, expectations, emotional weight. From the outside, they may seem like they’re holding it all together, but inside, something feels off. Maybe it’s a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. Maybe it’s the pressure of keeping up in a fast-paced world while feeling quietly lost. Or maybe it’s the simple, tender ache of wanting to feel more like yourself again.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about making space to slow down, tune in, and begin to hear what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether you’re coming alone or with a partner, I offer a grounded, open, and real space where you don’t have to get it right, and where growth comes through curiosity, not perfection.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an actor and a yoga teacher. That background still shapes how I show up: with creativity, presence, and a deep respect for the body’s wisdom. I know what it’s like to be in high-pressure environments and to feel the cost of staying strong for too long. I bring that lived experience into the room in a way that’s warm, human, and gently challenging when needed.
My approach is collaborative and experiential. I don’t believe in quick fixes or surface-level advice. Together, we explore what you’re feeling, what you’ve learned to protect, and what you’re still longing for emotionally, relationally, even physically. Real change happens not just through insight, but through connection.
I’m also passionate about men’s mental health. So many men grow up with silent rules about how to be strong, stoic, or successful. Over time, that can lead to disconnection from others, and from yourself. I offer a space where men can show up fully, speak honestly, and explore what strength, care, and emotional presence really mean for them.
If something in you is ready for a shift, even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet, you don’t have to figure it all out first. You just need a starting point. Therapy can be that place.
