Kristopher O'Brien, AASW

Kristopher O'Brien, known as Kris, is a credentialed mental health professional based in Australia and a member of the AASW (Australian Association of Social Workers). He approaches his work with a practical, strengths-focused mindset and supports people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Kris has helped individuals coping with stress, anxiety, low motivation, confidence and self-worth concerns, relationship difficulties, career transitions, and depression. He has also worked extensively in post-disaster recovery, assisting both individuals and communities to rebuild a sense of safety, resilience, and hope after crisis.

Work with veterans, families, and people recovering from crisis has influenced his therapeutic style, which is compassionate, strengths-based, and grounded in real-life understanding. He sees therapy as a collaborative, judgment-free space where people can explore their experiences, make sense of what they are facing, and find practical ways forward. Kris honors the courage involved in reaching out for support and focuses on helping people build resilience and move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic, working at a pace that feels right for each person.
