What shifting sands is all about

Shifting Sands provides evidence-based support that will enable you to live your best life. Many of us go through times in our life where we find things more challenging. At such times we become very aware of the shifting sands beneath our feet. Whether weโ€™re experiencing difficulties adapting to change, confronting past traumas, or struggling with self esteem, we could all use some support.

A Unique Approach to Personalised Mental Health Support

Being a family-owned practice and mother-daughter duo, we are truly invested in each individual that walks through our door. It can be so daunting taking the first step to getting support or knowing the support that is right for you.

At Shifting Sands, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get the support you need and start your journey to healing. By combining the skills and perspectives of both a psychologist and a counsellor, we are able to provide unique and tailored support to address each individualโ€™s specific needs and goals.

Our psychologist can bring expertise in assessing, diagnosing, and treating various mental health conditions using evidence-based therapeutic interventions. We also provide psychological evaluations and assessments to gain a deeper understanding of each individualโ€™s unique needs and challenges.

Our counsellor can offer support through both counselling sessions and coaching, providing evidence-based approaches to support you in navigating difficult emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal growth and self-improvement.

Additionally, having access to various treatment programs and interventions can further enhance the support we offer include group therapy sessions, couples therapy, workshops, educational programs, or specialised treatment modalities that cater to specific mental health concerns.

Overall, our collaborative efforts as a psychologist and counsellor allows us to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for all individuals seeking mental health support. It allows for a more comprehensive and personalized approach to treatment, fostering individual growth, resilience, and well-being.

We believe that we can all benefit from the insight gained through mental health support, as we have all experienced a range of challenges and could utilise new ways of living in order to reach our true potential. All of the work carried out is founded upon unconditional positive regard, respect, compassion, and empathy.

We all want to live in a state of mental well-being. Sometimes we simply need a little support, encouragement or guidance to help us manage what life throws at us.
