How I can help

Talking through your problems with a qualified therapist can help you to identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts and behaviours in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment. It gives you the space to unpack issues that you may not feel comfortable sharing with family or friends. Therapy is a great way to develop self-awareness and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Hello, I’m Sarah. I grew up wild and free on a sheep farm in the Riverina.

From roustabouting, being a station cook, to working as an artificial insemination technician at a sheep genetics company, I have worked right across the rural country before marrying into a dairy farming family and settling down in northeast Victoria.
