“I used to have literally shaking anxiety leading up to the final minute of client calls. After one session with Sarah, with the next client I just called and spoke. Such a different experience.”

Panic Attacks?Let’s Fix That.
Not you losing control.
A false alarm.
“I’m not here to teach you to ride it out.”
Ready to stop living around panic and get your life back?
WHAT I TREAT
Panic shows up in many ways.
Whether it strikes out of nowhere or builds in the places you’ve learned to fear, the experience is terrifying — but the source is the same. So is the treatment.
However frightening it feels — panic can be switched off at the source.
01.
Sudden panic attacks
A wave of intense fear that arrives without warning — racing heart, breathlessness, a sense of doom.
02.
Fear of the next attack
Constantly bracing, scanning your body, waiting for it to happen again.
03.
Avoidance
Cutting out the places, situations or activities where panic once struck — and watching your world shrink.
04.
Physical symptoms
Chest tightness, dizziness, tingling, nausea — so physical it feels like a medical emergency.
05.
Feeling unreal or detached
A frightening sense of being outside yourself, or disconnected from what’s around you.
06.
Fear of losing control
The terror that you’ll faint, lose your mind or ‘go crazy’ in front of everyone — even though you never do.
07.
Nocturnal panic
Waking suddenly in the grip of panic, heart pounding, with no idea what set it off.
08.
Anticipatory anxiety
Hours or days of dread before an event, certain this will be the time panic takes over.
09.
Health anxiety
Convinced the symptoms must mean something is medically wrong, despite clear tests and reassurance.
10.
Exhaustion and hypervigilance
The draining toll of a body that never fully stands down.
WHY YOU CAN’T REASON YOUR WAY OUT MID-ATTACK
Panic doesn’t listen to logic.
The standard advice is to ride it out — breathe, remind yourself you’re safe, wait for it to pass. It can help you cope. It rarely stops panic returning.
THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX
Where reassurance works.
Rational thought and self-talk. It knows you’re not in danger — but it can’t call off the alarm below.
THE LIMBIC SYSTEM
Where the alarm actually fires.
The fight, flight, freeze response. It pulls the alarm when there’s no real danger, and it doesn’t listen to logic — which is exactly where my work goes.
Your rational brain knows it’s just panic. Your limbic system has already hit the alarm. That’s the gap reassurance can’t bridge.
WHAT A SESSION INVOLVES
Three simple steps.
UNDERSTAND THE ALARM
We start gently — how your panic shows up, where it tends to strike, and where the pattern began. Share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
SWITCH THE ALARM OFF
A simple, gentle process, a little like a visualisation, that helps your nervous system stand down the false alarm and replace it with a settled, safe response. You stay fully conscious throughout.
TEST THE RESULTS
Before you leave, we confirm the change has landed — so you don’t just hope the panic is gone, you feel that it is. Most clients feel a noticeable shift by the end of their very first session.
98% of my clients report their panic attacks resolved, to their satisfaction, in under six sessions.
REAL STORIES, REAL RESULTS
What it feels like on the other side.
I have spent 10 years stuck and paralysed with indecision. After one session with Sarah, I have been able to make moves towards what I want in my personal life and career, without overwhelm or fear.
EMMA K. / OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST / BRISBANE
Sarah’s approach is wildly unconventional — and effective! Therapists I’ve seen previously have wanted me to rehash my past until I’m blue in the face. Literally a life-changing experience.

WHY WORK WITH ME
The difference you’ll actually feel.
LIVED EXPERIENCE
I didn’t learn about panic from a textbook. I lived a decade with a nervous system stuck on high alert, and made a full recovery.
RESULTS, NOT COPING
I’m not here to teach you to ride out the next attack. My focus is correcting the false alarm at its source, so it stops being triggered.
TRAUMA-INFORMED
Panic often has roots in past experience. A safe, judgement-free space to heal — without reliving what set it off.
NO WAITLIST, NO REFERRAL
Private practice means no GP referral and no Medicare waitlist. Begin when you’re ready.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
My approach isn’t for everyone — and I’d rather be honest about that.
This is for you if…
- You’re living around your panic — avoiding places, bracing for the next attack
- You’ve tried breathing techniques and reassurance, and panic still strikes
- You’re ready to actually resolve it, not just manage it forever
- You want a private, focused approach without waitlists or referrals
It may not be the fit if…
- Your symptoms are driven by an underlying medical or cardiac condition
- You’re in acute crisis and need immediate clinical or psychiatric care
- You’re looking for ongoing, open-ended talk therapy rather than resolution
- You’re not quite ready to make a change right now — and that’s okay
If you’ve never had your physical symptoms checked by a doctor, it’s worth doing first — panic itself is harmless, but it’s always wise to rule out medical causes. Beyond that, the free consult is exactly where we work out whether I can help.
AND IF I’M NOT THE RIGHT HELP?
My promise.
I’ll get you to whoever is.
Sometimes what looks like panic is driven by something underneath it — a heart or thyroid condition, a mood disorder, or something else that needs a different kind of care.
If that becomes apparent while we’re working together, I won’t leave you to work it out alone. Your investment goes toward identifying what’s actually going on and coaching you toward the right approach — and I’ll act as your champion through the system, so you get a shortcut instead of years of trial and error.
I can’t stand the thought of needless suffering. You’ll be delivered safely to the right help, either way.
In 98% of the cases I take on, I am the right help. The other 2% leave with a clear path to the person who is.
DID YOU KNOW?
I can also help you resolve…
LET’S BE HONEST
You don’t need to keep living around it.
The places you no longer go. The plans you cancel, just in case. The constant scanning of your own body, waiting for the next one. None of that has to be the shape of your life.
So let’s stop bracing for it. Let’s get cracking.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your questions, answered.
01.How is this different from seeing a psychologist?
A psychologist typically works with your conscious thoughts, helping you understand panic and build strategies to ride it out. I work beneath that, with the nervous-system alarm actually firing it — which is why the change tends to be faster and more lasting.
02.Should I see a doctor first?
If you’ve never had your physical symptoms checked, it’s worth doing. Panic itself is harmless, but it’s always wise to rule out medical causes. Once you know it’s panic and not a medical issue, my work goes to the root of why the alarm keeps firing.
03.Will I be hypnotised, or lose control?
No. You remain fully conscious and in control at every moment. The change work is gentle, closer to a guided visualisation than anything you’ve seen on stage.
04.Do I have to relive my panic attacks in session?
Not at all. Because we work with the subconscious rather than re-triggering the experience, you can share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. The approach is designed to create change without re-traumatising you.
Ready when you are.
