Hello and welcome,
I am a credentialed mental health social worker accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), with 7 years of professional experience supporting individuals on their mental health and personal growth journeys. My expertise includes helping clients navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, low mood, relationship issues, parenting concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and career transitions.
In our work together, I can also provide support for enhancing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, addressing conflict resolution, and coping with life changes. I employ trauma informed & culturally sensitive-evidence-based strategies such as behavioural activation, activity scheduling, sleep hygiene, mindfulness-based stress reduction, relaxation techniques, and interpersonal therapy to promote well-being. Additionally, I assist individuals struggling with substance or alcohol misuse, offering relapse prevention strategies to support long-term recovery.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and I see my role as helping you leverage your unique strengths to overcome challenges and create the life you desire. Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and I am here to support and empower you on this transformative journey.
Through positive listening, a strong therapeutic alliance, and collaborative planning, we will work together to develop actionable strategies that address your current concerns and help you move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
I look forward to supporting you on this path.
Warm regards,
Sayem
Therapist and mental health clinician.

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.

- 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.
