About Awais
Awais Ali Warriach is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience in Australia. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression and motivation. He also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, and career questions.
He describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building from their strengths. Sessions are presented as a place to talk through what feels most pressing and to try practical steps that can reduce distress. Awais emphasises clear, down-to-earth conversation rather than jargon or abstract theory.
In his practice he also addresses caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, commitment and control issues, and the effects of divorce or separation. Challenges such as domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation are included in his work. Life purpose and money or financial worries are additional topics he brings into sessions when they matter.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on helping people develop new ways of coping. Sessions aim to make problems feel more manageable and to give small steps people can try between meetings. Awais offers support in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many people benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques because they focus on what is happening now and teach skills to respond differently. Cognitive approaches help identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them against real situations, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Behavioural strategies focus on practical steps such as routine changes, activity scheduling and gradual exposure, and these can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation problems.Working out which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most pressing, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed based on how things are progressing. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences and feedback guide changes to the plan.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. They also make it practical to continue meetings during work breaks or when mobility or caregiving makes travel difficult. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can explain which session type will work best for your situation when you start the matching process.
