MY APPROACH
Holistic, integrative and centred on you — not a diagnosis
I draw on person-centred, strengths-based, CBT, mindfulness and somatic (body-based) therapy, tailoring each session to what you need. Mind and body aren’t separate, so we work with both — helping you understand yourself more deeply and find your own way to healing.

What type of counselling do you offer? Sara Harris Counselling offers support for anxiety, stress, anger, depression, behaviour change, and somatic therapy. The practice also focuses on women’s health, including menopause and other life stages and health-related challenges. We provide individual, couples, and family counselling.
What is somatic therapy? Somatic therapy is a gentle, body-based approach to counselling. It can help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and support trauma healing.
Do you offer counselling for women’s health concerns? Yes. Support is available for concerns such as endometriosis, PCOS, period pain, PMS, fertility, infertility, IVF, and menopause-related changes.
Do I need a referral? As a private Counsellor you do not require referrals. Psychologists and Psychiatrists require referrals from your GP. You can book directly online or by phone/email.
Can I claim with Medicare or my private health fund? Health fund rebates will apply. Please check in about which health funds are claimable. Counselling is not on the list of claimable services for Medicare at this time, hence why our prices have been reduced and adjusted accordingly.
How do I know if we are a good fit? We offer a 10–15-minute introductory chat over the phone. This way we can both get a sense of whether we will be a good fit.
What is the difference between counselling/therapy and psychology services? Counselling focuses on supporting you through current or historic challenges, moving through trauma, developing coping strategies, and building personal insight. Psychologists may provide similar support but can offer formal mental health assessments or diagnoses.
What can I expect in my first session? The first session is a chance to share your story, discuss what brings you to counselling, and set goals together. It’s also a time to ask questions and ensure the approach feels like a good fit.
