Sarah Drobczyk

Sarah Drobczyk is an AASW-accredited social worker and counsellor in Australia with ten years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. She also supports those facing life changes, career uncertainty and questions about life purpose.

Sarah frames therapy around the person's own goals and strengths. She treats people as the experts in their story and uses practical methods to help them manage symptoms and make decisions. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills rather than abstract theory.

Her clinical toolkit draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, client-centred practice and mindfulness. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when helpful. These approaches are used to address mood, coping, relationships and behavioural change such as smoking or substance use.

Sarah has worked with a broad range of concerns including chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress and multicultural issues. She supports people dealing with career doubt, parenting strain, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes work on ADHD, depression and isolation.

She offers straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way of daily life and practical strategies to change habits. The emphasis is on actions someone can try between sessions and checking what actually helps. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How Sarah uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often used when someone feels stuck or unsure what to prioritise. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce worry and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative decision shapes the practical tasks and skills used between sessions.

The biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular sessions and practise new skills in day-to-day life. Appropriately qualified counsellors and therapists will adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so they remain practical and relevant.
