More about Sarah

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • PACFA

I'm a clinical psychotherapist and counsellor in Australia with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, mood and personality disorders, as well as relationship and family issues.

I work from a trauma-informed and client-led perspective. I'm kind but direct when needed, and support in a solutions focused manner. I love to laugh, and enjoy helping people work through challenges and achieve their goals.

Having a down to earth professional to talk things through with really does help. Change happens! It's so important to feel like your therapist gets you, and choosing a therapist can be daunting. Why don't you book in for a session and see how you go?

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
