About Dean
Dean Rogers is an AASW social worker with six years of professional experience. He works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and issues connected to ageing and retirement.
Dean uses clear, practical conversation to help people manage day-to-day problems. He listens for what matters most and then helps clients try realistic steps they can use between sessions. Sessions are straightforward and focused on improving coping and decision-making.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address anxious thoughts and avoidant patterns. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and trust are central concerns. Client-centred work guides how sessions are paced and how goals are set.
Dean has supported people through addiction challenges, changes linked to ageing, and complex family and caring responsibilities. He also assists with sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, and feelings of emptiness or shame. The aim is to help people build skills that fit into their daily routines.
Sessions begin with a short assessment to clarify priorities and agree practical goals. Dean uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
Sessions are provided in English in Australia. International clients are not accepted.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for persistent worry, avoidance and decisions around life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with practical behavioural experiments. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and current relationships shape trust and connection, which can help with intimacy and family issues.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Dean will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most practical. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make therapy easier to schedule around work, caring roles or appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed and remove travel time, which can help people fit therapy into busy days.
