Gomezga Simfukwe, ACA

Gomezga Simfukwe is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and grief. He aims to make speaking about hard thoughts and feelings less intimidating and more useful.

Gomezga works in a straightforward way. He usually begins by listening and helping a person name what matters most to them. From there he and the client set simple goals and practical steps to try between sessions. The focus is on small, doable changes rather than big, sudden overhauls.

He draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to accept difficult feelings and act on their values. Attachment-based and client-centred work guide conversations about relationships and early patterns that affect today’s life.

Gomezga has seven years of professional experience in counselling. He describes the therapeutic space as non-judgemental and collaborative. People come to him for help with coping through life changes, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, bipolar and depression, and a range of family and relationship problems.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person. He encourages steady progress through skills, clearer communication and better self-understanding. If someone is ready to take the first step, he supports them to plan realistic next moves and stay accountable.

Approaches that work well online and in conversation

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take action that lines up with their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising alternatives, which is useful for stress, anxiety and addictions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current relationships and communication, which can help with connection and trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gomezga treats this as a team effort - he will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit your situation. Together you can try different techniques and adjust what you do based on what helps most.

Confirm available session options before booking as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people join from quieter surroundings. It can also support steady work on skills and communication between sessions. If you want to explore online options, ask about the practical choices and scheduling when you arrange your first appointment.
