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.
​​
Often, this is the point where something needs to change, not because you are failing, but because you have been carrying more than anyone could carry alone.
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 know 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.​​​​
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 professional 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, I work actively with you through careful reflection, dialogue, and clinically grounded 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.”
