Immanuel Suttner , ACA

Immanuel Suttner is a counsellor credentialed in Australia with 10 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self esteem, depression, and life transitions. He holds ACA, a professional counselling credential that reflects formal training and adherence to recognized standards in the field. Immanuel works with clients to gently question long-held beliefs about themselves, others, and life that may be getting in the way of greater wellbeing, and he focuses on uncovering the personal strengths that already exist and can support change.

His practice emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper exploration of motivation, confidence, and meaning, with attention to issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, guilt and shame, isolation, men’s issues, midlife concerns, financial stress, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, seasonal mood changes, self-love, and sex addiction. Immanuel draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to help people develop psychological flexibility, clarify values, and take committed action toward a more fulfilling life.

Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Immanuel offers supportive, strengths-focused guidance throughout that process. He communicates in English and Hebrew and provides care from his base in Australia while not working with international clients.

ACT-informed and strengths-based care delivered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a practical, values-focused approach that helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most to them. It often uses mindfulness and experiential exercises to increase psychological flexibility and can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes.

Alongside ACT, Immanuel emphasizes a strengths-based style of work that helps clients identify existing skills and resources. This approach supports people in questioning limiting beliefs and using their strengths to meet challenges such as grief, low self esteem, chronic illness, or caregiving stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be determined collaboratively. Immanuel works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and to choose methods that fit their situation and values.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity during life transitions.
