Hello and welcome,
I am a credentialed mental health social worker accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), with 7 years of professional experience supporting individuals on their mental health and personal growth journeys. My expertise includes helping clients navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, low mood, relationship issues, parenting concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and career transitions.
In our work together, I can also provide support for enhancing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, addressing conflict resolution, and coping with life changes. I employ trauma informed & culturally sensitive-evidence-based strategies such as behavioural activation, activity scheduling, sleep hygiene, mindfulness-based stress reduction, relaxation techniques, and interpersonal therapy to promote well-being. Additionally, I assist individuals struggling with substance or alcohol misuse, offering relapse prevention strategies to support long-term recovery.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and I see my role as helping you leverage your unique strengths to overcome challenges and create the life you desire. Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and I am here to support and empower you on this transformative journey.
Through positive listening, a strong therapeutic alliance, and collaborative planning, we will work together to develop actionable strategies that address your current concerns and help you move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
I look forward to supporting you on this path.
Warm regards,
Sayem
Therapist and mental health clinician.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
