REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Throughout Sarah’s career thus far, she has found that people can become stuck in unhealthy situations/relationships because at an unconsciously level, they may mirror earlier childhood dynamics and feel familiar to what we experienced earlier in life. Sarah believes that when an individual is provided with the space to understand and narrate their own personal history, they can then begin to process the emotions attached and begin to heal. Sarah provides a space for her clients where they are safe to share experiences which trigger intense feelings of fear, sadness, anger, shame and guilt. Her passion lies in gently supporting her clients to move through these emotions, identify patterns of behaviour which are no longer serving them, and then engage in practical, values aligned goal setting to create positive change through action. Areas of particular interest include stress, burn out, anxiety and overwhelm.

Sarah is a Proficient Behaviour Support Clinician and accredited Performance Coach, a life experience that she brings to her practice as a a fully registered psychologist. Sarah also has experience in private practice and NGO’s, working therapeutically with clients and guiding large multi-disciplinary teams. Sarah has had a varied career which includes Military service, business coaching and delivering training for NGO’s. Her work includes Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion Coaching, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She is available at our clinic in Tweed Heads.

Sarah enjoys being near the ocean, kitesurfing, and spending time with her dog, Bear (a female fluffy Frenchie) who is likely to be with her in the office.
