About Sara

PACFA Clinical Counsellor Sara Haji has six years of experience supporting people in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred way of working to help people talk through difficult feelings.

Sara draws on work in hospital, crisis, addiction and mental health settings. That background shapes her practical approach to conversations about mood, trauma and coping. Sessions aim to make sense of what’s happening now and build small, workable steps forward.

People bring a range of concerns to her, including attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation. She also helps with life purpose questions, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress symptoms. The focus is on clear, manageable goals rather than jargon.

In a typical session Sara listens, reflects what she hears and helps clients try different ways of responding. She blends research-supported techniques with an emphasis on the person’s own priorities. Meetings are straightforward and paced to suit the individual.

Sara works in English and practises within Australia. Her credential is PACFA, which is shown here as provided. If someone wants to begin, they follow the service’s matching and booking steps to schedule an initial session.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on specific ways of thinking and behaving that can be changed to reduce distress. For example, approaches that target anxiety usually help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practise alternative responses to reduce worry and avoidance. Trauma-informed techniques emphasise grounding, stabilising responses and gradual processing of distressing memories or reactions to reduce their day-to-day impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, reduce time away from work or family, and stay in contact with a counsellor while living in a different part of Australia.
