• Our approach

  Together Calm uses a trauma-informed, psychodynamic foundation combined with a warm, person-centred approach to create a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space. Sessions are tailored to each individual's needs and goals, drawing on multiple evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness. Sarah, the principal psychologist, views the therapeutic relationship as paramount, cultivating an environment where clients can openly explore their feelings at a pace that honours their readiness. Whether you're working through recent or historic trauma, parenting stress, or personal growth, the focus is on empowering you to discover your inner strengths and live a more fulfilling life. Sessions are 50 minutes long, providing ample time for therapeutic exploration tailored to your unique circumstances.

• Your first visit

  At your initial appointment, you'll begin building a therapeutic relationship in a warm, welcoming cottage setting designed to encourage both comfortable conversation and quiet reflection. Sarah will work to understand your areas of need and goals, bringing them into focus and alignment with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. The session will allow you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and circumstances in a safe space where you feel heard and understood. If you're seeking a Medicare rebate, you'll need a referral from your GP or Psychiatrist beforehand; otherwise, you can attend on a private basis. The initial session costs $270 (with a $96.65 Medicare rebate if eligible), and subsequent sessions are $260 or $230 at the concession rate.
