About Guillaume
Guillaume Walters-du Plooy is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with 15 years of experience. He works with people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, and coaching for life changes. He also focuses on body image, codependency, communication problems and related issues.
He has worked in hospital, outpatient and community settings. That variety means he has seen a range of problems at different stages. He has experience helping adolescents and adults with behavioural and adjustment difficulties.
Guillaume completed doctoral research on complex and treatment-resistant eating disorders. His PhD shapes how he approaches difficult or persistent problems related to eating and body image. He remains actively interested in supporting people with those concerns.
In sessions he uses approaches grounded in research. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of Existential Therapy. He aims to keep sessions practical, with clear strategies and time to talk through difficult feelings.
He describes counselling as a collaborative process. He works with each person to identify goals and next steps. Practical tasks, new ways of thinking and reflective conversation are all part of how he works.
Sessions are available in English and Afrikaans. People interested in working with him are asked to use the online matching and booking process to arrange a first session.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical strategies to manage mood and anxiety. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and values when life feels confusing or stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Guillaume will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first. That collaborative choice is based on the person's situation, goals and preferences rather than a fixed method.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - shorter check-ins between work tasks, not needing to travel, or choosing audio-only if bandwidth is limited. Discussing which format works best is part of the first conversation so sessions can fit into practical routines.
