Babak Razmgir, ACA

Babak Razmgir is an Australia-based counsellor credentialed with ACA, bringing 10 years of professional experience to his work. He specialises in supporting people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and attention difficulties such as ADHD, and he also addresses concerns around motivation, concentration and memory.

He works with a broad range of issues including abandonment and attachment difficulties, avoidant and dependent personality features, relationship and communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness and isolation, and challenges related to fatherhood and men’s health. His practice also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness and disability, and those navigating life purpose, mood disorders, obsessions or compulsions.

Babak aims to create an open, non-judgemental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. He uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. He recognises that starting therapy takes courage and affirms clients for taking that first step, focusing on practical strategies and collaborative planning to help people move toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and to commit to actions aligned with those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life purpose questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, teaching practical skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety and concentration difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-directive therapeutic relationship where the counsellor offers empathy and understanding to help clients explore their experience and build self-awareness and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is best decided collaboratively. Babak will work with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences and to adapt methods from these approaches to suit the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. These formats can increase accessibility for people in different locations or with mobility or health challenges, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and progress in ways that suit each person.
