Hello, I’m Sandrine — and I’m glad you’re here.​
Taking the first step can feel vulnerable and intimidating, especially after holding things together for a long time or carrying everything on your own.
​
Here, you don’t have to do it alone. You can arrive just as you are.
​​​
Many people who come here feel exhausted, stuck, or overwhelmed, sometimes in pain, sometimes numb or disconnected.
They may have tried to cope, to stay strong, or to “move on” only to find their body, mind, and inner world can no longer keep up.
What you are living with can feel layered, complex, or simply too heavy.​​
You don’t need to have a clear explanation or a specific label to be here. It is enough to know that something no longer feels manageable.
​​
Grief, loss, illness, separation, migration, or the fear of death and uncertainty can shake our sense of safety, identity, and meaning. These are natural and deeply human responses to experiences that touch us at our core.
​
If you are here, something in you may already sense that it is time for support. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. You do not need to be certain, articulate, or composed.
​
You only need a willingness to begin.​​​​
​
I offer online counselling, grief therapy and psychotherapy from Sydney, NSW, supporting people across Australia experiencing grief, loss, trauma, and major life transitions. My work integrates existential, narrative, and creative therapeutic approaches.
​
How I work
I am a Master's-qualified and experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering individual therapy via secure, confidential online telehealth across Australia. Sessions are available in both English and French.
My approach is collaborative and thoughtful. I value your insight and your story as essential to the process, and I tailor my therapeutic support to your needs. My work integrates existential, narrative, and humanistic psychotherapy, alongside other evidence-based approaches, and is informed by current research.
I begin with presence — taking the time to truly meet you and genuinely understand what you are experiencing.
From there, we work together through reflection, dialogue, and carefully chosen creative and experiential practices. These are used intentionally, not to distract from pain, but to help make sense of complex experiences, access meaning, and support integration at both emotional and embodied levels.
I do not rush to fix things, and I do not leave people alone in their pain.
We work with what is present, here and now, while exploring what may have been left behind, but still lingers.​ Throughout the process, I support re-engagement with life at a pace that is respectful and feels aligned with you, your values and your hopes.​
​
I offer a calm, grounded space for depth and meaningful change.
“When I have been listened to and heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on.”
— Carl Rogers
Who I work with
I work with teenagers, adults, and older adults who are experiencing:
​
Grief and loss
Grief after the death of a loved one, including complex or prolonged grief
Anticipatory grief related to illness, ageing, or caregiving
Grief following the loss of an animal or companion
Disenfranchised or unacknowledged grief (when a loss is not recognised or supported by others)
​
Life transitions and ruptures
Separation, divorce, or family fragmentation
Migration, displacement, or loss of belonging
Major life changes that disrupt identity, direction, or meaning
Illness, mortality, and existential concerns
Serious or life-limiting illness
Fear of death or existential anxiety
Moral injury and existential rupture (experiences that challenge meaning, values or identity)
Trauma and its impact
Traumatic experiences, past or recent
Witnessing a traumatic or sudden death
Dissociation, emotional numbness, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Emotional and nervous system distress
A sense of exhaustion, defeat, or feeling stuck
Depression, anxiety, and ongoing stress
Emotional dysregulation (feeling overwhelmed by emotions)
​
You may recognise yourself in one of these experiences, or in something difficult to name. Therapy offers a space to explore what you are carrying at your own pace.
It is important to me that you feel heard, understood, and supported.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have about seeing a counsellor or psychotherapist for the first time.
​
I am here to support you.​​​
