I was so anxious about getting therapy for so many years until I found Find Reason Therapy. It has completely changed my outlook on therapy and has had the biggest, positive impact on my life. I now tell all my friends and family to do it too as I just really don’t know how I ever did life or how anyone does life without it! It is so helpful and has changed my whole life. I really look forward to it now and always can’t wait till my next appointment. The whole team at Find Reason therapy are so warm and kind I actually don’t think I would be able to be doing life without it!!

Struggling with Self-Worth?
Improve Your Relationship with Yourself and Others
Ready to Rediscover Your Value and Thrive?

Does this sound familiar?

You want to be free of the “I am not good enough” or “I am unworthy” messaging and self-doubt that hijacks your mind but you can’t quite break the cycle that it leaves you in.

You know it’s time…

You put off doing anything truly nurturing or nourishing for yourself by focusing on the more external nuances of life leaving you in a comfort zone but also stagnant and somewhat disconnected.

You work really hard at connecting, giving and caring for others only to feel dissatisfied, disappointed with shades of resentment

You can create the life that you want to live and be lead by the love and
support that you provide to yourself

What if…

By merely showing up where you are right now to do the work, the work has already begun?

You felt more connected to yourself, were sure of who you are, and could live in an authentic way so that you can show up in your relationships and actually put yourself first?

Our Therapy Approach:
Everything comes back to how we feel about ourselves
and how we show up in relationships.

Welcome to Find Reason Therapy, your trusted team of therapists in Sydney.

Are you grappling with feelings of inadequacy or struggling to find your sense of worth? Do you find it challenging to maintain healthy relationships with yourself and others? It’s time to take the first step towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Counsellor

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.

Issues You May Face:

Our approach as the top self-worth therapists in Sydney is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based techniques. What we can help you find and reconnect to:

Self-Worth

Self-worth is how we value ourselves. When an individual has self-worth they internally believe that they are good enough, are inherently worthy of love from themselves and others.

Relationship Issues

  • Communication: Not being able to be open, willing or honest, feeling distant, not being in touch with own emotions or not prioritising what is important
  • Boundaries: When we set internal boundaries, we are choosing our own reality, our own thinking, feeling and behaviour instead of the contrary, which is just having automatic reactions.
  • Trust: Trust allows an experience of emotional and commitment safety as it opens us up to having more depth in our relationships and also allows us the ability to endure the conflicts and difficulties that come with relationships.

Codependency – Core Symptoms

  • Difficulty experiencing appropriate levels of self-esteem
  • Difficulty setting functional boundaries
  • Difficulty owning our own reality
  • Difficulty acknowledging and meeting our own needs and wants and being interdependent with others
  • Difficulty experiencing and expressing our reality moderately
