More about Sara

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • AASW

I am an AASW-accredited Social Worker with over three years of clinical experience in Australia and additional years working internationally. I support clients navigating anxiety, identity confusion, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and the feeling of being "stuck" or disconnected from themselves. I focus on helping you understand your inner world, identify the patterns that are keeping you overwhelmed or avoiding life, and build practical tools for emotional regulation, clarity, and aligned decision-making. My goal is to help you move from confusion and self-doubt into a more coherent, grounded, and empowered way of living.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
