Award-Winning Online Trauma Therapy Across Australia
Find Healing and Hope with Compassionate Support
Trauma can leave invisible wounds that shape how we feel, think, and connect. At Lived Experience Solutions (LEXs), I provide award-winning online trauma therapy - a confidential, safe space where your story is honoured, and your healing journey unfolds at your pace.
Whether you’ve experienced childhood trauma, abuse, violence, loss, or another life-changing event, you are not alone. Together we work to:
Rebuild emotional safety and trust
Process painful memories with care
Strengthen coping and regulation skills
Reconnect with hope, meaning, and self-worth
I also support NDIS participants (self- and plan-managed) seeking trauma-informed mental-health care tailored to individual goals. With no waitlists, flexible scheduling, and online access anywhere in Australia, LEXs offers support that meets you where you are.
What Online Trauma Therapy Can Help With
Trauma affects people emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. You might notice its impact immediately - or years later. Through online trauma therapy at LEXs, I can help you explore and heal challenges such as:
Persistent fear, helplessness, or hypervigilance
Emotional numbness or disconnection
Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories
Anxiety, depression, or overwhelming sadness
Low self-esteem, shame, or guilt
Difficulty feeling safe or setting boundaries
Grief linked to traumatic events
Recovery from childhood trauma or complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
Therapy is not about “fixing” you; because you are not broken. It’s about creating safety, trust, and empowerment to rebuild at your pace.
✅ NDIS clients: sessions can align with your plan to support goals around emotional wellbeing, daily living, and community participation.

Michael Elwan
I’m Michael Elwan, an Accredited Social Worker (AASW), PhD Candidate in Mental Health, and the founder of Lived Experience Solutions (LEXs).
My practice is award-winning, shaped by both lived and professional experience. I was honoured to receive the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗪𝗔 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 & 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, and to be named 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗔𝗔𝗦𝗪 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀. I was also recognised as a 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 for the 𝗥 𝗨 𝗢𝗞? 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 and the 𝗪𝗔 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 (𝗦𝗶𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱). These honours reflect my ongoing commitment to making mental health care more human, accessible, and culturally responsive.
My work is grounded in personal experience of grief, caregiving, migration, and system navigation, and strengthened by over 15 years in mental health, trauma, addiction, and community services.
I bring that depth of understanding into every session - creating a space where people feel seen, safe, and supported to heal in their own way.
At LEXs, my approach to therapy is trauma-informed, compassionate, and culturally attuned. Whether you’re seeking to process trauma, manage anxiety, or reconnect with meaning after loss, our work together centres on your strengths, values, and readiness for change.
Healing begins when you are met with understanding. That’s the heart of my work - and the reason LEXs exists.
