About Awais
Awais Ali Warriach is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem, depression and problems with motivation. He speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and practises in Australia.
Awais approaches sessions with the view that each person knows their own story. He looks for the strengths someone already has and uses those strengths to address current problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear talk rather than jargon. He aims to help people gradually build confidence and coping skills.
People who come to him report difficulties with relationships, grief, sleeping and eating, and occupational stress. He also supports those coping with caregiver strain, chronic pain or long-term illness, and issues around addiction or substance use. Communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation are other topics he addresses.
Work together usually involves setting small, achievable goals. Conversations include examining patterns, trying new behaviours, and checking what works in daily life. Awais uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the person’s goals and pace. He encourages straightforward feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Before a first meeting, he asks people to reflect on what they’d like to change or try differently. That helps shape the first session and makes it easier to pick practical next steps. He asks clients to choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule an initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Awais draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavioural work that helps people try small changes in everyday life and measure what helps. This is useful for anxiety, sleep or mood concerns because clients can test new behaviours and notice gradual shifts. Another approach is skills-based work that teaches emotion regulation and communication strategies to manage anger, stress and relationship strain. That helps people build tools they can use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. Sessions often begin with small, doable steps so the person can see what fits and what needs adjusting. The therapist invites feedback and adapts the plan over time to match practical needs.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel by removing commute time. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited, while video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and role-play. These options help therapy slot into busy days without promising a specific format.
