Counselling in 2107

I am a psychotherapist in private practice working online and in Sydney. I work with people on a range of issues including; anxiety and depression, trauma, childhood experiences of neglect, life transitions, and issues of substance abuse. I know how confusing and painful these experiences can be. Therapy can help you get your life back on track, help you gain a sense of stability, and a renewed sense of trust in yourself.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" said Carl Jung. We are all born with unique gifts and potential. My believe is that, despite the trauma, loss and disappointments that you have suffered, you have the ability to heal and live a meaningful life. I love working with people that are committed to change and are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I consider it a privilege to be part of such a precious process and I offer my full commitment and genuine care to each client I work with. I help people to recover from substance abuse issues, trauma, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

Sometimes things feel like they are too hard. Sometimes we may feel like we are 'stuck' because of a challenging situation or from a past pattern of behaviour that doesn't seem to let us go. Sometimes our thoughts seem to go around and around and take control of our actions. Sometimes, we just don't know which direction we need to head in, or want to head in, and why. These transitions in life need some time to process. And sometimes it feels like nobody understands us and we just need someone to talk to and to find a bit of grounding and presence.

Within the vast tapestry of clients seeking support, my ideal individuals encompass a diverse spectrum of challenges. From the intricate realm of ADHD to the delicate intricacies of relationships, I embrace the opportunity to assist those facing these issues. Additionally, I have the privilege of working with individuals across a range of concerns. Together, we'll navigate the complexities of their unique struggles, helping them achieve a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment. Let's embark on this empowering journey together!

What's the meaning and purpose of life? Who am I? What is my place in the world? - are you asking yourself those questions and feeling at a loss, unable to find answers? Or perhaps you’re out of touch with yourself and feeling stuck, anxious or depressed, not living your authentic life. Maybe you’re yearning to find peace - both within yourself and in relationships with others. It is my belief that it’s how we approach challenging times that can become a unique and precious opportunity to discover the deeper workings of life, an opportunity to find strength and resilience, and perhaps even redefine life's meaning and purpose.

Do you feel 'stuck' and overwhelmed, anxious or in emotional pain? Perhaps you know it is time to make changes, to create more harmony and connection in relationships, both with yourself and others? With care and empathy, and at your pace, we can explore your experiences, take apart the messy knot of problems, identify your strengths and options - and develop strategies to reach your goals. I also work with couples to repair ruptures and build loving, secure partnerships. When you feel ready to heal from pain, fear, shame, resentment, anger or grief that is getting in your way, and get 'unstuck', call me and we can get started.

Sarah's task, as your therapist is to provide an environment that disrupts your current level of functioning and move you towards change and renewed progression. Clients come to counselling stuck and immobilized, unable to create something new in their lives. The repetition of stuck and unsatisfactory behaviours, thoughts and feelings is what leads most clients through my door. I utilise theoretical and practical interventions, through the observation of the client’s discrepancies, mixed messages, conflict, and incongruity in the client’s statements and behaviours within the counselling sessions.

Overwhelmed. Stressed. Anxious. Exhausted. Overcome with grief. Feeling low in self esteem. Struggling. In pain & suffering. Lack of direction. Distressed. Panic. Numb. Disconnected. If you relate to any or many of these feelings then I may be able to help you move through these states to feeling more connected, empowered, happier, and energised to live a more wholehearted life.

Are you struggling with managing your emotions? Do you feel overwhelmed with life at times? Is it difficult for you to ask for what you need? Are you experiencing difficulty in your relationships? Do you feel like you are not being heard? Are you new to parenthood and need some guidance? I can help you manage anxiety and depression, or help with building self-esteem and resilience, and manage the struggles that might stem from situational difficulties and life changes. You will be met with a warmth, in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
