Charlie Haddad is a compassionate and highly skilled registered Social Worker and Counsellor, currently completing endorsement as an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker.

He holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Melbourne and a Master of Counselling from Monash University, with Advanced Training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Please note that for all clients aged 17 and younger, a parent session is required as the initial appointment. This allows Charlie to obtain developmental history of the client and to understand the presenting concerns from a parent's perspective. Teenage clients can attend the initial session but this will be split into two halves; first half parent and Charlie and second half client/client and parent with Charlie.

Therapy Style

Charlie’s practice is trauma-informed, strengths-based and person-centred.

He takes a holistic approach to therapy that considers how physical, emotional, social, cultural and environmental factors shape clients’ social and emotional wellbeing.

Charlie explores clients’ concerns with curiosity, compassion and without judgement, seeking to understand their experiences within the broader context of their lives rather than viewing them solely as individual problems or personal shortcomings.

He works collaboratively with clients to explore the factors influencing their wellbeing and develop evidence-based therapeutic interventions tailored to their unique needs, strengths and goals.

Charlie is dedicated to providing inclusive and affirming support to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities across the lifespan, and supports people experiencing trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and emotional regulation difficulties.

Fees

The fee to see Charles for therapeutic intervention is $150 per session. His fee does not attract a Medicare rebate.

NDIS participants are billed at the maximum recommended rate.
