Trauma Therapy & Couples Counselling in Anglesea

Edward Stubbings counselling and psychotherapist working out of Anglesea, Torquay and Geelong

Welcome!

I’m Edward—thanks for being here.

I’m a psychotherapist based in Anglesea, offering counselling to individuals and couples seeking meaningful, lasting change through in-person sessions on Victoria’s Surf Coast.

My work is grounded in a systemic, trauma-focused approach, understanding you within the context of your relationships, family roles, and lived experience. I draw on evidence-based, experiential, and somatic approaches—including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Schema Therapy, and nervous-system-informed practice—to support trauma recovery that engages both mind and body and creates lasting change.

Together, we’ll listen for how your experiences have been shaped by the systems and relationships you’ve grown within—creating space to slow things down, untangle what’s been held, and move toward greater freedom and connection.

Your in-person sessions will take place in a peaceful, private setting in Anglesea, Victoria.

I welcome clients from the Surf Coast, Torquay, Geelong, Ballarine, and beyond.

Once we’ve arranged a time to meet, I’ll share the exact address with you by email, as the space is on a residential property.

I also offer telehealth sessions as a flexible, accessible option if you prefer to connect from the comfort of your own home.

Eddie helped me feel truly seen and understood in a way I didn’t know was possible. I came in feeling disconnected from everyone including myself, and through our work together, I’ve learned how to listen to myself and trust myself again. I feel more grounded, more open, and more able to show up in my family with my partner.

Program Participant
Edward held space for me in such a gentle, steady way. I felt safe enough to explore things I had been avoiding for years and I feel really proud of myself. Our work together has completely changed how I relate to myself and my relationship with my girls.

Program Participant
Eddie is a skilled and warm therapist. His deep understanding of families helped me find light in places I thought were only dark. I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time. I’m sleeping better, and my partner and I are communicating more openly than ever before.
