Hello, I’m Sandrine, and I’m glad you’re here.
I'm a grief counsellor and psychotherapist based in Sydney, offering online sessions across Australia in English and French.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable, especially if you've been holding things together on your own.
Many people who come here feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck. Some are in deep pain, while others feel numb. They've tried to cope, stay strong, or “move on” — only to find their mind or body can no longer keep up.
Grief, loss, illness, separation, migration, or uncertainty can deeply shake our sense of safety, identity, and meaning.
What you're carrying may feel complicated, layered, or just too heavy.
You don’t need to have the right words figured out to reach out.
If you are here, a part of you might already know it's time for support.
It's natural to feel unsure — many people start therapy with questions or hesitation.
If you would like to explore whether this space feels right for you, you're welcome to book a free 25-minute consultation.
Whatever you bring — tears, confusion, silence, or feelings that are difficult to describe — is welcome here. All you need is a willingness to start.
Who I work with
I work with teenagers, adults, and older adults who are experiencing:

How I work
I am a warm, empathetic, Master's-qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, and I offer individual therapy.
I work in a collaborative and respectful way. Your insight and story are at the heart of our work together, and therapy is shaped around your needs.
I start by being fully present, taking the time to truly meet you and understand what you are experiencing.
From there, we work together through conversation, reflection, and, when it helps, creative and experiential practices.
These approaches are used thoughtfully—not to avoid pain, but to help you make sense of complex experiences, find deeper meaning, and support emotional and embodied integration.
I don't rush to fix things or leave you alone in your pain. Instead, we work with what is present and happening now and gently explore anything that might still be unresolved.
Throughout our work together, I support you in gradually re-engaging and reconnecting with life at a pace that feels right for you and is aligned with your values and hopes.
I provide a calm and grounded space where you can reflect, go deeper, and make meaningful changes.
In a typical session, we might begin with what feels most present for you that day — a feeling, a memory, something that happened during the week. From there, we explore together, and at your pace.
Some sessions are quiet and reflective. Others go deeper. You always lead.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
— Maya Angelou
