Mental Health Counsellor (ACA), Cognitive Science Background

Frank Keys is a Mental Health Counsellor and ACA member (MACA Level 1) with a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) and a Graduate Diploma in Counselling, specialising in trauma-informed care. With a background in cognitive science, he is particularly interested in how thoughts, emotions and behaviour interact, and in turning complex ideas into practical, everyday strategies. Frank is co-founder of Healing Hearts Psychology (HHP) and currently works at Discovery Skills Psychology (DSP). He has worked in mental health and community settings since 2011, including over five years of direct client counselling practice in private and community settings, and supports clients across the lifespan – from children aged 5+ through to older adults in their 80s.

Frank provides evidence-based therapeutic supports drawing on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies, Schema-informed approaches and trauma-focused, strengths-based counselling. He is trained to flexibly integrate these modalities, tailoring interventions to the person, their goals and their presenting concerns at the time, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. When working with trauma, Frank places strong emphasis on safety and stabilising strategies before any deeper trauma processing, helping clients feel grounded and resourced. He works with concerns such as depression, anxiety conditions (including panic, agoraphobia and social anxiety), stress, trauma, substance use difficulties and major life transitions. His style is warm, grounded and collaborative, with a strong focus on building practical skills that clients can use in everyday life.

Frank also offers Equine Assisted Therapy as a counselling modality, supported by equine-assisted therapy insurance and registration. He works within the NDIS Quality and Safeguards framework (Therapeutic Supports), providing Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living supports, helping people build skills for day-to-day living and greater independence.

Alongside his formal training, Frank brings lived experience, which informs his deep empathy and insight. He understands what it is like to feel overwhelmed, stuck or misunderstood, and is passionate about making psychotherapy and counselling feel human, accessible and genuinely hopeful. Whether in the clinic, outdoors, or in equine-assisted sessions with the horses, Frank’s goal is to create a safe, non-judgemental space where people feel seen, heard and supported to make meaningful change.
