Dr Andrea Sadusky
Psychologist, PhD, PsyBA - Ed. Psych.

People often come to therapy when they feel stuck, burnt out, anxious or unsure about what to do next.
I offer counselling and psychological assessments for children, adolescents and adults, with a particular interest in neurodiversity, emotional wellbeing and periods of change. No two people are alike, so I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. I’ll take the time to understand you, what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to get from it.

I'm Sanduni, a psychologist and South Asian Woman of Colour with over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector. I started Insession Counselling to provide therapy to people from all cultural backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations. Navigating my own experiences of marginalisation and intersectionality as a queer Sri-Lankan woman has allowed me to truly understand how culture, gender and sexuality shape so much of who we are and how we experience relationships. I combine this lived experience with evidence-based psychological interventions so that the therapy you receive is tailored specifically to you.

Have you spent years trying to understand yourself, yet still find yourself caught in the same emotional patterns or relationship difficulties? Perhaps you've gained valuable insight through previous therapy, yet something still feels stuck. When insight alone hasn't been been enough, it is often because the effects of trauma are reflected not only in how we think, but also in the protective ways our mind and nervous system have learned to respond.

Counsellor, ACA-L3

Over time, this tension can show up as anxiety, guilt, confusion, or a sense of never being “enough”, along with feelings of loneliness and uncertainty about where you truly belong as you work to find your own path.
Grace’s approach weaves together EMDR, Narrative Therapy, ACT, and mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy, creating space to explore how emotions, stress, trauma, and cultural histories are held in the body. If you’re feeling lost or torn between competing expectations, therapy can support you to reclaim your voice and reconnect with your sense of self.
