Sara Haji

Sara Haji is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and she lists life purpose among her focuses.

Sara aims to create time in sessions for people to say what they need to say. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of how their symptoms affect daily life. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can take between meetings.

Her background includes work in hospital, crisis, addiction and mental health settings. That experience informs how she responds to strong emotions and urgent concerns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred way of working.

Sara often helps people who feel stuck after a life change, who are questioning what matters next, or who are coping with ongoing anxiety or low mood. Conversations can cover relationships, attachment patterns, communication problems, guilt and shame, or difficulties with impulsivity and isolation.

Therapy is presented as collaborative problem-solving. She supports people to name values, clarify priorities and try practical changes. If someone wants to focus on life purpose, sessions can look at small experiments and decisions that make day-to-day life feel more aligned with what matters.

Approach-based online sessions and practical support

Sara draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred way of working. One common approach she uses focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching grounding, breathing and behavioural strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach addresses trauma and related symptoms by helping people recognise triggers, build coping responses and practice tolerance for strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit best with a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and how to measure small changes over time.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
