Shift happens: for Women Who Think & Feel Deeply
↓ 3-months of space to feel understood, ease survival mode and find clarity, confidence and more sustainable ways of living and working.
Perhaps you’ve read the books, tried therapy or sought advice & resources, but it's not quite hitting the mark.
You may also..
Feel tired of supports or ideas that don't quite fit
Feel unseen or misunderstood in the places you’ve turned for help
Care deeply, but it often feels like too much to carry.
Have tried to adapt, but still can't find that elusive 'balance' .
Wished for things to feel lighter, clearer and more sustainable.
Your story matters. And this is a space where it can be held, understood, and supported — sometimes shifts arrive faster than you expect.
What Shift Happens offers
Over three months, we’ll meet fortnightly on Zoom for 1:1 sessions. This gives you time to process, experiment with new strategies and come back with reflections. The aim is lasting change — not quick fixes.

It's time to shift from surviving to thriving
I'm here to help
I’m Sarah — a neurodivergent woman, parent of ND kids and social worker with over 20 years’ experience. But what clients tell me matters most isn’t about my job title or the training — it’s the way I help them make sense of things in a way no one else has.
People often say they finally understand themselves, their dilemmas, or their behaviour with greater clarity. I’ve got a knack for spotting the root of what’s really holding you back, and an intuition that helps us get there more quickly.
I’m down-to-earth and relaxed, which means our work feels safe, supportive, and often easier (and more enjoyable) than you might expect.
Together we’ll use a mix of tools — from conversation to somatic inquiry to symbolic resources like cards — whatever helps to connect, reflect, tap into the gold — and create real change.

What people tell me about our work together
People often describe this work as practical, deeply validating and bringing clarity & light bulb moments.
A sense of relief — realising you’re not the problem
Language that describes your (or your child’s) experiences
Practical tweaks that make daily life and work easier
Understanding why you do what you do, and how to change it
More compassion for yourself, less pressure to “try harder”
Greater clarity and confidence in making decisions
A nervous system that feels more supported and balanced
A little about how I work
The way we work together is flexible, but always grounded in approaches that are trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming and integrate both cognitive & body-based. Over the course of three months, we’ll draw from a toolbox including:
Somatic inquiry – connecting to the body’s wisdom
Neurodivergent Affirming – honouring all neurotypes & deepening self- understanding
Polyvagal-informed support – working with and understanding the nervous system
Ecological social work – recognising how systems, culture, expectations and environments shape lived experience
Narrative therapy & values mapping - exploring & unearthing your stories and inner guides
Relational & energetic attunement – sensing beyond words
Mindfulness & reflection – creating space to hear yourself again
Symbolic and archetypal tools – including practices like Soul Call Cards, which invite reflection through metaphor, image and archetypal psychology
Spots for Shift Happens are limited — add your name to the waitlist and I’ll be in touch as soon as there’s space.

FAQS
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are offered via Zoom - from the comfort of your home, office, car - or favourite place outdoors.
Do you offer single sessions or packages?
The Shift Happens sessions are now offered as a three-month package, because I’ve seen the powerful changes that unfold when we work together consistently. When we commit to the process — and to ourselves — the shifts can be immense. This approach ensures everyone I work with has the best opportunity for meaningful, lasting outcomes. Once you’ve completed the three-month package, you’re welcome to book single sessions whenever you like.
Can we use NDIS funding?
Some clients do choose to use self-managed NDIS funding to work with me—and that’s absolutely welcome. That said, a shift in my practice since July 2025 means that services are no longer designed around NDIS goals or reporting requirements. Invoices can be provided after each session to allow claims to be made.
What is the current wait for a session?
There is currently a wait list and anticipated wait of approximately 6-8 weeks for initial consultations, occasionally there may be immediate availability.
Is this offering just for women?
This work is for women, non-binary, and gender-diverse folks — anyone who knows the weight of navigating systems and expectations that weren’t designed with you in mind.
