Healthy thinking, doing and being.
Healthy thinking, doing and being.
I run a bustling private practice. I apply a person-centred approach to developing your capacity to deal with the challenges in your life. My aim is to work with you to target the changes you’d like to see.
Given my current client caseload, I have very limited space to see new clients, so am pausing any new referrals right now. Reach out using our Contact Us page if you would like to go on the waitlist. If your needs are immediate, I would recommend you return to your GP and consider alternative options.
I am now an AHPRA Board Approved Principal Supervisor in Clinical Psychology. If you are looking for Clinical Supervision - reach out using the Contact Us page.

Zara is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS). Her academic credentials include a Master of Clinical Psychology, a Graduate Certificate in Domestic and Family Violence Responses, and a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours I). She brings comprehensive experience from both private practice and public healthcare, with experience in acute care settings.
Zara provides individual therapy for older adolescents (aged 15 and above) and adults, addressing a broad spectrum of emotional, psychological, and relational issues. Her areas of support encompass depression and mood disorders, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, personality-related concerns, grief and loss, adjustment challenges, relationship difficulties, identity and self-esteem issues, family matters, domestic violence, and disordered eating behaviours.
Her therapeutic approach emphasises relational and attachment-based principles, customising evidence-based interventions to meet each client’s specific needs. She utilises modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and incorporates elements of Schema Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
Zara's practice is distinguished by her genuine curiosity and warmth. She collaborates closely with clients, their supports, and multidisciplinary health teams to foster a safe, inclusive environment where individuals feel recognised, valued, and understood. Her work is grounded in trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and gender-affirming care, with significant experience supporting those affected by domestic and family violence.
Zara is currently paused on new referrals. If you are interested in going on her waitlist, please reach out to us using the contact us page and we will consider the appropriateness of putting you on our waitlist. We want to ensure folks receive timely care. If your needs are immediate, I would recommend you return to your GP and consider alternative options.
