You're holding it all together on the outside… But inside, it feels heavy, constant, and exhausting.
Private Psychotherapy for adults who look like they are coping — but are ready for something deeper, more meaningful, and support to not figure it all out alone.
- You overthink everything and can't switch your mind off
- You feel emotionally drained, even when nothing is "wrong"
- You're the one everyone relies on — but you feel alone in it
- You've tried to push through… but it's not working anymore
Private sessions — in-person Oran Park & Telehealth across Australia
You're not "falling apart" — but you're not okay either.
You're functioning. You're showing up. You're doing what needs to be done.
But underneath that, there's a constant mental load. A quiet burnout. A feeling that something isn't right — even if you can't fully explain it.
Maybe you've:
- Carried stress for years without real support
- Learned to suppress what you feel just to keep going
- Been the strong one for everyone else, with no one to hold space for you
- Tried to "fix it yourself" but keep ending up in the same place
At some point, coping stops being enough.
This isn't surface-level therapy.
This is a space where we go deeper — safely, and at your pace. Our work together focuses on what actually matters.
Understanding the root
We explore what's actually driving your thoughts, emotions, and patterns — not just the symptoms on the surface.
Making sense of your story
We make meaning of your experiences in a way that's compassionate, clear, and free of judgement.
Processing what's underneath
We work through what's been sitting beneath the surface — often for a long time — at a pace that feels safe for you.
Creating lasting change
Real, meaningful shifts — not temporary relief or generic strategies that don't account for who you actually are.
The kind of support that actually goes there.
Think of the therapists you've seen in films — that deeply attentive, unhurried relationship where you don't just vent about last week, but slowly unpack the patterns that began in childhood and still quietly shape your relationships, your reactions, and your sense of self today.
That's what this is. Not a 1–2 session quick fix. Not a strategies checklist. A genuine, ongoing therapeutic relationship — with someone who holds your full story and walks alongside you for as long as you need.
You won't be rushed, dismissed, or given cookie-cutter strategies.
This is for you if…
Hi, I'm Christina.
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Counsellor, and the Director of Sage Mind — a small, family-run private practice in Sydney.
I specialise in:
- Burnout, Anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or 'lost'
- Relational patterns and relationship strain
- Trauma and emotional processing
- Navigating the weight of everyday life
- Neurodivergence (including late-diagnosed adults)
With over a decade of experience across education and mental health, my work is grounded in both clinical understanding and real-life application.
I work with adults who are ready to go deeper — not just manage what's on the surface, but genuinely explore the threads that often began in childhood and continue to shape who you are today. The patterns in how you relate to others, how you respond under pressure, what you expect from the world, and what you believe about yourself.
This is not a 1–2 session experience. This is an ongoing, deeply human relationship — and I'll be with you every step of the way.
- You're not limited to a set number of sessions
- We're not restricted to a rigid framework
- Our work can evolve and deepen as you do
This is personalised, thoughtful, and genuinely human support.
Simple, clear, and supportive from the start.
Book an Initial Consultation
A 60-minute session where we explore what's been happening for you, what you're needing, and whether we might be a good fit.
Decide if it feels right
There's no pressure — this is just as much for you to assess me as it is for me to understand how to best support you.
Ongoing sessions
If you choose to continue, we move at your pace — with consistent, tailored support that evolves as you do.
Investment
- Thoughtful preparation prior to your session
- A 40 or 60-minute personalised consultation (depending on your session type)
- Clinical reflection and documentation post-session
This is a private-pay service (no Medicare), which allows for depth, flexibility, and true continuity of care — with no gaps in your progress.
You don't have to keep doing this on your own.
