About Bruce
Bruce Hart is an AASW social worker with 25 years' experience who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, past trauma, grief and loss. He works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Bruce believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work.
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on practical ways to reduce distress and improve connection.
Background and approach
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name difficult feelings in relationships. His background includes long experience in mental health services and family therapy, and he has also worked in coaching and professional supervision. That mix means he can offer both therapeutic support and practical coaching for life or work transitions.
In sessions he listens first, then helps people try new ways of relating and thinking. He uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly about their concerns. Bruce sees therapy as a collaborative process.
He helps clients set clear goals and reviews progress along the way. He is based in Australia and currently works with people through a range of remote session formats.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions that affect their relationships. Online sessions let clients bring specific moments or interactions to the conversation and practise new ways of connecting in real time.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating influence current behaviour and feelings. Through discussion and reflection a therapist supports clients to try different responses and build safer ways of relating to others.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, offering empathy and acceptance so people can talk freely and make their own changes. This approach suits people who need space to understand their priorities and decide on next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor sessions to the client's goals, preferences and current needs. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
