Ways we can work together

Many counselling services focus on general or short-term support. This practice is deliberately about depth: trauma, anxiety and long-standing patterns. The work is structured, consistent and shaped to you, and it is for people who want more than surface-level support.

Sessions are online, Australia-wide, one hour each.

Individual counselling

Weekly or fortnightly one-hour sessions by video. We begin with what is heaviest and follow where it leads, with enough structure that the work goes somewhere.

Common reasons people come: anxiety that will not settle, burnout, feeling stuck in survival mode, reactions that feel out of proportion, or a sense that previous therapy helped to a point and stopped.

Trauma-focused counselling

Trauma is not treated as a single event but as an experience that can shape perception, behaviour and emotional responses over time.

  • Understanding how past experiences influence present reactions
  • Building stability before any deeper processing
  • Reducing emotional overwhelm and reactivity
  • Growing the internal resources that make change last

This is a careful and gradual process, designed to keep a sense of safety while working at depth.

EMDR therapy

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) works with how memories and emotional responses are stored, rather than relying on discussion alone. Distressing experiences can be processed more adaptively, so their intensity and ongoing pull reduce.

People often choose EMDR when they feel that talking about something has not led to meaningful or lasting change.

  • Trauma and complex trauma
  • Anxiety and heightened emotional responses
  • Intrusive memories or distress linked to past events
  • Patterns that have not shifted through talk therapy

EMDR here is structured, paced and adapted to your capacity and readiness. Sabrina has completed full EMDR training.
