Held By Water Psychotherapy

Trauma-informed therapy for Individuals, Couples & Families.

Working with people in Anglesea, Torquay, Geelong, the Surf Coast & Australia-wide online.

Based in Anglesea on Victoria’s Surf Coast, I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore the patterns and relationships that have shaped them and to find new ways of being.

A space to be held, to soften, and to allow meaningful change to unfold.

Welcome!

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

Hi! I’m Edward—thanks for being here.

At Held By Water Psychotherapy

My work includes:

  • Individual therapy focused on trauma integration and self-empowerment.

  • Couples therapy to restore connection, communicate, and shift relational patterns.

  • Family therapy that attends to shift dynamics, creates safety in connections.

Together, we create space to gently explore these layers, to understand protective patterns, reconnect with inner resources, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.

This is a place to come as you are, to feel met in your complexity, and to begin moving toward a greater sense of clarity, connection, and self-leadership.

Ways we can work together

A peaceful space for our work together and a great place to swim after.

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

I welcome clients from the Surf Coast, Torquay, Geelong, Bellarine, 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.

Testimonials

  • Edward is a fantastic therapist who creates a safe, non-judgmental space for healing. His approach to IFS therapy helped me connect with myself on a level I hadn't experienced before. He has also provided support with my ADHD, helping me understanding more of my self and healing past traumas. Since starting therapy with Edward 6 months ago via Telehealth - I feel far more equipped to handle life’s challenges. Highly recommend!

  • 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.
