Are you seeking some support with your mental health, resilience and emotional balance? Are you experiencing some current or past challenges? Life can be full of ups and downs, and I'm here to support you through some of the challenging times. I have a special interest in perinatal psychology, supporting parents from pre-conception through to parenthood. Whilst parenthood can be joyous, the overwhelm of parenthood, adjustment to change and change in relationship dynamics can be tough. Do you have a workers compensation claim, or some workplace concerns? Need some career coaching to support a change in direction?

As I've developed my practice, I've come to incorporate IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Somatic therapy with CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), allowing for both self-understanding and acceptance, as well as a useful way forward.
Heya, I’m Sagar! I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to walk into a psychologist’s office. That’s why I aim to be warm, empathetic and approachable, to build a genuine relationship as the foundation of our therapeutic process. I work across the lifespan, and I love helping clients navigate those big life changes— adolescence into adulthood; career into retirement; or any of those big, overwhelming events that seem to just come with life. My approach is to give clients insight into their thoughts & emotions, warmth and space to help process and heal, then collaboratively create tools and strategies to lay problems to rest.

I work with adults who experience anxiety, emotional distress or relationship difficulties, particularly when these feel longstanding, confusing or hard to shift. This might include difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, repeating patterns of conflict, family stress, parenting feeling overwhelming or a persistent sense of disconnection or loneliness. Many people I work with want to make sense of how their past and relational experiences influence the way they react and respond today. I also support children experiencing anxiety, stress or emotional regulation difficulties and work closely with caregivers.

In session we'll explore your experiences through curiosity, humour, somatic experiencing and honest connection.
Hi, I’m Jake (they/he). There's a tonne of therapy buzzwords thrown around these days, words that can feel important and quietly position therapists as the experts on life. That hierarchy is not a great way to start any relationship let alone a therapeutic one. My practice recognises that therapy does not exist outside culture. It is influenced by histories of power and by colonial and capitalist ideas about productivity and normality. I believe we need to name that and recognise the impact of these structures on marginalised bodies, so the work can feel honest rather than performative.

My approach informed by many modalities including expressive therapies (such as art therapy), DBT, somatic therapy and mindfulness.
I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with PACFA. I don’t believe in clinical distance or wearing a mask of expertise that puts me above you. I meet you human-to-human — with empathy, honesty, and care. My approach is holistic and integrative, meaning I tailor our work to suit you, not the other way around. Together, we create a space where it’s safe to feel, to speak, to unravel — and ultimately, to grow. I bring both evidence-based modalities and deep compassion to each session, weaving in practices that support not only the mind, but the body, heart, and soul. You don’t have to do it alone.

My approach is relational, somatic, and trauma-informed.
Many people I work with feel stuck, disconnected, or burnt out. They might be dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship stress, or a sense of having lost direction. Some don’t know where to begin only that things can’t keep going the way they have. Whether it’s processing pain, finding meaning, or understanding old patterns, therapy offers a place to slow down and make sense of what’s been happening.

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.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.

Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.

Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.

What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
