Sarah is a registered General Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and Lead Psychologist at The Little Sanctuary. Based in North Brisbane, Sarah supports children and families with compassionate, evidence-based care that focuses on each child’s unique strengths and needs. With postgraduate training in Child, Youth and Family Counselling and Neuroscience, and a current PhD exploring how schools can better support children with mental health conditions and disabilities, Sarah brings both clinical expertise and a deep understanding of the systems surrounding children’s development. Sarah brings extensive experience and a special interest in comprehensive diagnostic assessment. She is trained in administering gold-standard assessments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as cognitive and learning disorders. Her approach is neuro-affirming and strengths-based, ensuring that each child and family feels heard, understood, and supported throughout the assessment process. As a child psychologist, Sarah works with children aged 3+ and their families using a trauma-informed and person-centered approach. She collaborates closely with parents and caregivers to create practical, real-world strategies that can be used at home, at school, and in everyday life. Sarah provides support across a range of areas, including behaviour challenges, emotion regulation, social skill building, neurodivergence, sensory processing differences, anxiety and mood concerns, adjustment difficulties, and complex trauma, as well as parenting support. Appointments are available via telehealth, in-person therapy and assessment sessions in Windsor (North Brisbane), and assessment services in Hervey Bay.
