Sarah Martin (She/her)Social Worker

Sarah is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Grief and Bereavement Counsellor with over 18 years of clinical experience. She has worked across a wide range of settings, offering support to individuals and families during some of the most difficult and heart-breaking moments of their lives. Sarah has extensive experience as a Forensic Counsellor, working with families following unexplained deaths, child deaths, deaths in custody, fatal accidents, suicides, and homicides reported to the Coroner. She has also supported families of long-term missing persons and holds specialist training in ambiguous loss through The Missed Foundation. Her work has extended to supporting children and families through childhood cancer diagnoses and providing end-of-life care counselling. Having met with families in the immediate aftermath of traumatic loss and walked alongside them in the months and years that follow, Sarah understands that grief is deeply personal and never one-size-fits-all. She tailors her approach to each individual, meeting them where they are. Sarah’s practice is grounded in a strengths-based, person-centred, trauma-informed, and decolonised framework. Her commitment is to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive space for all who seek her care, with a strong commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and LGBTIQA+ Communities. Sarah is also committed to providing high-quality supervision for social workers and allied health professionals, fostering growth, ethical practice, and professional resilience. In addition, Sarah is dedicated to offering Cultural Supervision that upholds cultural safety and well-being for Aboriginal workers which is often missing from mainstream supervision.
