Practitioners

Henry Fowkes
Henry supports clients as they move through life’s challenging, mysterious, and often enlivening thresholds. He is a PACFA-registered Gestalt psychotherapist, passionate about change, embodiment, and relationships. For Henry, being a psychotherapist is both a spiritual practice and a profound privilege—doing deep work shoulder-to-shoulder with his clients.
Henry’s approach is grounded in Gestalt’s holistic, non-pathologising philosophy, which recognises our inherent wholeness, resilience, and interconnectedness. He helps clients explore how they relate to themselves and the world, opening pathways for more choice and new possibilities.
A strong somatic (body-based) orientation underpins Henry’s work, drawing from his decade as a teacher of Open Floor, a therapeutic movement practice. He supports clients to strengthen the mind-body connection and access the roots of underlying issues. His practice integrates trauma-informed approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work (Gestalt and Internal Family Systems), Attachment Theory, and Mindfulness.
Henry places particular value on the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. He creates a warm, respectful space that fosters self-awareness and helps clients build the inner resources needed to face life’s challenges.
Henry works with individuals navigating:
- Life transitions and identity shifts
- Relationship issues and longing
- Grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety
Questions of purpose, meaning, and creativity
Whether a client is moving through a specific life event or seeking broader growth, Henry tailors therapy to their needs. Initial sessions focus on building connection and clarifying goals.
Whether working short or long term, Henry offers individual and group therapy in-person (Carlton North) or online. He offers a free introductory phone call to see if working together feels like a good fit.
While not Medicare-rebatable, his fees are similar to psychologist gap fees, with some reduced-fee spots and private health rebates available.
