As a young adult, Sarah became fascinated by the psychological upheaval caused by major life events. She developed a deep compassion for the emotional, practical and cognitive shifts required to navigate new circumstances, especially unexpected ones. Recognising the immense health benefits of having psychological support during these transitions, she set out to bridge that gap.

Early in her career, this required considerable advocacy. Psychological intervention was often seen as something reserved for acute mental illness. With persistence and care, recognition of the broader impacts began to grow. Over the past decade, Sarah has worked across health and rehabilitation settings, supporting individuals through pain, injury, illness, grief and major life adjustments. She has also grown to love training and supporting early career psychologists to do the same.

Driven by growing industry demand, her focus expanded beyond reactive treatment to encompass the proactive optimisation of occupational health and wellbeing, ensuring psychology plays a crucial role in prevention and long-term health sustainability.
