Do you feel like you've been living in ways that looked right from the outside, but felt misaligned from within? Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, or a deeper question of identity and authenticity, you don't have to keep pushing through alone.
I'm Sally, a Melbourne-based counsellor with a Masters in Counselling and ACA Level 2 registration. I specialise in anxiety and burnout, relationship stress, identity and authenticity, and late-diagnosed ADHD and neurodivergence.
I offer a warm, evidence-informed space - non-pathologising, collaborative, and entirely on your terms.
I welcome people from all walks of life, including those from the LGBTQIA+ community, non-traditional or open relationships, and diverse cultural backgrounds.
My approach is integrative and client-led, drawing on CBT, ACT, person-centred, IFS-informed and somatic frameworks - always fitting the approach to you, not the other way around.
I'm trauma-informed and nervous system aware. My counselling practice is complemented by a background in mental health research and clinical trials, giving me a strong evidence-informed foundation.
I know taking that first step can feel daunting. If anything here resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.
