Samar Haerian
Psychotherapist, PACFA
Serves Area
Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect, and there are times when life's challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck. Sometimes these struggles are connected to past experiences that continue to impact how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world around us. I believe that therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and accepted. My approach is warm, compassionated, and collaborative, providing a non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences at your own pace.

Holding it together on the outside while feeling unsettled underneath may be hard to put into words. Perhaps you’ve carried this quiet sense for as long as you can remember. The way others perceive you may feel very different from how you experience yourself, leaving you unsure how to make sense of what’s happening within. You may find yourself feeling lonely or disconnected, even when others are around. Over time, this can show up as anxiety or emotional exhaustion, difficulty relaxing, being constantly on alert, struggling in relationships, or feeling stuck.

Many children and adolescents, especially those with ADHD or autism, face anxiety, big emotions, and social or school pressures. I provide a caring, confidential space where they feel understood and can explore strategies to manage emotions. Using evidence-based programs, such as Cool Kids, play therapy, and creative, solution-focused approaches, I help young people develop coping skills, confidence, resilience, and a positive sense of self, while partnering with parents to support growth at home.

Chatswood, NSW 2067
Are you in constant conflict with your partner? Do you find yourself disconnecting from each other over time? Relationship issues like conflicts are an integral part of a relationship. However, there is a good chance that the toxicity in the relationship has deeply wounded both. The needs of each other are ignored and arguments become less on the important issues as both are too emotionally detached to care anymore.

Sometimes life feels harder to carry than it once was. You may have been managing for a long time, doing your best to keep going, while something underneath, sometimes not even obvious, has become increasingly difficult. Maybe you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted or just not your usual self. You may not even be sure what you need, only that you'd like things to feel better. But you know what? You don't need to have everything worked out before reaching out. Sometimes it helps just to have somewhere to begin: a place to slow things down, make sense of what's been happening, and find a way through that feels right for you.
