Why my trauma & PTSD treatment works
Traditional talk therapies often focus on rehashing the past, which can risk re-traumatisation. My approach is different. I work directly with the subconscious and limbic system – the part of the brain where the fight-flight-freeze response is stored.
By calming and resetting this overactive response, we break trauma patterns and create lasting change – safely and gently.
Most clients experience noticeable relief after their very first session, with lasting results typically achieved in 1–3 sessions.
For more complex presentations, such as CPTSD or multiple overlapping traumas, clients usually achieve lasting resolution within 6 sessions.
Ignoring post traumatic stress hurts everyone.

Sarah guided me through a timeline therapy that explored my career past, present and future. Not only did this give me fresh insights into the impacts of my decisions that led me to my current position, but also revealed new perspectives into my career that have opened new opportunities for me. I highly recommend Sarah's services and am really looking forward to seeing her again.
COLLEEN G. / GLOBAL IT DIRECTOR / BRISBANE
I have spent 10 years stuck and paralyzed with indecision, after one session with Sarah I have been able to anchor into what is going to work for me and make moves towards what I want in my personal life and career, without overwhelm fear. I can not recommend even one session enough to create real and tangible change.
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. Yet Sarah guided me to find such a compelling vision of my future that it has entirely changed the way I live daily life. Literally; a life changing experience!
SARAH H. / BRAND STRATEGIST / BRISBANE
Sarah is a person who can connect to anyone instantly. She gets you and is passionate to get you to where you want to be. She has done it for herself and she has the tools to get you to where you want to be. You won't regret it.
NATALIE B. / COUNSELLOR / BRISBANE
With two questions Sarah was able to help me completely change how I view my work and my business. I used to worry about being good enough to write for my dream clients, but Sarah's exercise gave me a compete re-frame and I'm now just excited to write for them. I'm so grateful and excited for what my business will soon look like.
TAYNA S. / WEB DESIGNER / BRISBANE
I used to have literally shaking anxiety leading up to the final minute of client calls. Deep breathing, sweat-wiping etc. After one session with Sarah, with the next client I just called and spoke. Such a different experience because I saw myself as an equal and with my own skills. So thank you!
ANON. / BRISBANE
I had a fun first session with Sarah. We went through a few different exercises that helped me gain a lot of clarity and set myself up with a vision and some simple steps moving forward. That evening I had an interaction that would usually have my thoughts lead to worry and anxiety- neither of which happened, I felt more in control of my mind. They were all things we went through. I'm looking forward to another session with Sarah and seeing how this unfolds for me.
