Rocky Biasi created the Accidental Counsellor in 2008 as a result of his experience as a high school teacher, school counsellor, and counsellor in private practice for 20 years. He has presented the Accidental Counsellor to ten thousand people both online and in face to face workshops in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.

25 years ago Rocky found himself depressed and anxious and didn’t know what that was! His story from seeking counselling to becoming a counsellor is an unlikely story. At the age of 16, Rocky left school to work in banking after which he proceeded to his own retail business. Ultimately, Rocky decided to follow his dreams and pursue his passion for teaching, commencing his teaching career in his 30s.

He then found himself receiving counselling and then started a counselling degree. Along the way he changed his life and is passionate about sharing his story and program for Mental Health and Wellbeing.
