Hi, I’m Sarah (she/her). I’m an accredited Mental Health Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers. I'm a polyamorous trans woman, and I’ve worked in mental health and counselling for about 10 years. I support adults (usually 18+ years) through individual, family, and relationship counselling. In my practice I use a wide range of counselling approaches and skills, but all of them are grounded in the humanistic values of authenticity, non-judgement, and compassion.

I am currently embarking on my PhD journey. Please note that I am currently taking on returning clients, selected clinical cases of trauma/ complex-trauma, family of origin challenges and autism/ADHD assessments, clinical supervision and professional development. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with children to adults and have worked in private, NGO and government sectors

People often see the word counsellor and have an image of two people just simply talking. Talking is a huge part of therapy; but, what I do takes it to a whole new level. I have worked with many people who spend years in therapy, yet they still carry so much anxiety and fear in their body, they see the same patterns play out time and time again. Why? Because talking doesn't always cut it. Our body is an intricate system and within it lies our stories. These stories seep out in to every part of our being and inform everything that we do; our thoughts, feelings, sensations, actions, behaviour's and interactions.

Life for all of us can be unpredictable and at times difficult to navigate. Experiencing change can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress or depression impacting your sense of purpose and general enjoyment of life. As a registered counsellor with over 15 years experience, I am committed to exploring together what works for you in your unique situation. My hope for you is that incremental shifts in your experience will lead to meaningful change in your life.

Life changes can bring about uncomfortable emotions; no matter how strong one is, there are moments when everything becomes too much to bear. In such times, we may need some external help. As a counsellor, I offer you a safe space of empathetic listening to unravel your thoughts and support you in overcoming challenges. I will help you develop coping skills, become aware of unhelpful patterns and improve your day-to-day experience. Enhancing your awareness will move you toward the changes needed to reconnect to yourself, get closer to the person you want to be and live a more fulfilling life.

I specialise in tween, teen and young adult mental health. I have been working with young people for over ten years. I understand the unique challenges that young people face and strive to create a safe and supportive environment for them to work on their emotional well-being. I use evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to assist my clients in developing a greater understanding of their emotional needs. My goal is to help young people to build resilience, foster self-awareness, and create healthier coping strategies for their everyday lives.

Grief and loss are part of everyday life however, there are ways to complete these lost relationships allowing the Client to move forward with their life. Trauma is brought about by events out-with our control or choices we've made or others in our lives. To bring healing from these events includes having a safe place to share the experience so that new ways of managing life are developed to allow healing to take place. This enables my clients to find true peace, rest & joy with life again. Therapy enables my clients to seek & find their true self, empowers them with endurance & tenacity while encouraging them to keep persevering.
