Hi I'm Sara and I have been practising as a counsellor for over 4 years. My main expereince is in Family Violence, Sexual Assault, Depression and Anxiety. If you identify as Maori/Pasifika, haere mai. You are welome into this safe space to talk about any issues you may have.

During our sessions, I create a safe and supportive space to navigate life's challenges. My approach gently empowers self-understanding and reinforces your self-confidence, my style is both strengths based and process-orient. I offer both in-person sessions in Brunswick, Melbourne as well as online support.

Individually tailored sessions to help each person improve their mental health. Flexible, supportive help to grow and change for the better. Kim has worked within the NDIS framework with complex clients and utilises a variety of techniques to give you strategies and insight towards improved mental health.

I am a gentle, compassionate, and trauma-informed psychologist who works well with people from all walks of life and strives to be an ally to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent folks. I view mental health issues as understandable responses to challenging life circumstances and/or unmet emotional needs rather than pathological or deficit-based ‘disorders’. In my work, I do everything I can to establish a warm, empathic, curious, and non-judgemental therapeutic space for clients to work on things that matter to them as they build a life that is increasingly rewarding, meaningful, and in line with their values.

As a culturally responsive therapist, I understand the complexities of navigating different cultural identities, having grown up as a New Zealand-born Fijian Indian in Australia. I've experienced first-hand the frustration of seeking therapy that didn't address my cultural nuances. My goal is to offer a safe, representative, and empathetic space for all clients, regardless of their cultural backgrounds.

With 25 years experience, I love supporting people to find their unique voice by creating a safe place for you to be heard. By hearing yourself talk, you can then find out who you really are. Together we can look at what you create or provoke in your relationships; both with yourself and others so you can unlock your true potential and ability to connect. I want my clients to grow and expand and I love working with dreams to guide you towards greater self awareness, creativity and purpose.

I work with children and adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, major life transitions or may be needing a safe space to address the challenges of life. Using somatic, art and music therapies we will work together to understand existing coping strategies and look at ways to create the positive changes needed to support growth. Together we will engage in creative practices and counselling that focus on strengths, enjoyment and are tailored to your unique needs.
