Testimonials

Sabine workshop facilitation for parents was invaluable and met with high praise. Sabine’s extensive knowledge and experience from supporting and strengthening parent-child bonds shone through, particularly about how to facilitate smoother transitions for children and especially those experiencing distress. It’s a high recommendation when people ask for more! Thank you Sabine!
Marg Pont (Principal St Josephs Primary School)
I want to share my appreciation for the workshop Sabine delivered. The clear graphics and explanations covered so many key areas that are fundamental to the development of a healthy, well-adjusted child. Sabine inspires trust with her genuine and kind disposition and gives you the feeling you are in safe hands.
Matt Moran
My husband and I have seen Sabine on and off for over two years while we were going through a very difficult patch in our lives. I honestly don’t know where we would be now without Sabine’s expert guidance and support. She is a gifted practitioner with a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend her. 
Nat and Glen
I feel blessed to have received Sabine’s expert and your intuitive support that is also empathetic, compassionate, and heartfelt. 
Jess
Sabine has helped me through some of the toughest times of my life - she accepts the parts of me I find unacceptable. She is sensitive, kind, wise, intuitive, incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. I thank Sabine for coming into my life and wholeheartedly recommend her as a counsellor.
Nicola
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being you and for the support and guidance and awareness you have offered to me.
Joanne
I strongly recommend Sabine as a thoughtful, sensitive and compassionate therapist. Sabine’s approach is refreshingly outside the box so you don’t get the run-of-mill text book response that can leave you feeling uninspired. Sabine can take you to deeper places of reflection that can lead to genuine change and deep healing.
Stephanie McGrane
Sabine has facilitated several Professional Learning opportunities for our School Staff, particularly around managing children with anxiety, trauma and challenging behaviours. Staff found these sessions very insightful. Sabine is an exceptional presenter. She is engaging and is able to link her extensive knowledge and experiences in a manner that is relatable and practical.
Michelle Dolan (Learning Support Teacher St Joseph’s Primary School)
Sabine has helped me enormously to reach a better place. Our sessions were hugely helpful and have prompted me to make important life changes. My family is far better of as a result. Thank you from the depths of my heart.
