ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Farah...
For nearly 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working across forensics, child protection, disability, and complex mental health. I have loved working with a diverse range of clients across the lifespan. My experience has included working in prisons for a number of years, with children and adolescents in the child protection system and with people with disabilities. Moving between these intense sectors has deeply shaped my practice, teaching me how to build trust with people from all walks of life, often during their most vulnerable moments. Whether you are looking to develop your awareness about patterns in your personal life, or you require a comprehensive psychological report for legal matters, I provide a collaborative and skilled service.
My approach is person-centered and flexible. I use various evidence-based therapies depending on my clients’ goals, needs and preferences and have undertaken training in different approaches. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Functional Assessment and Positive Behaviour Support, and mindfulness-based interventions.
I value collaboration and transparency, and pride myself on being compassionate and approachable. I believe it is important for my clients to feel deeply understood and to have a therapeutic connection based on emotional safety, and a shared understanding of goals and challenges.

Insight-driven therapy for meaningful change
We often move through life wondering why we react the way we do, or why we find ourselves stuck in the same frustrating patterns. I believe that deep, lasting change starts with seeing yourself clearly. If you feel like you are living on autopilot, my goal is to help you turn the lights on.
I am dedicated to supporting my clients build deep self-awareness and insight into their inner world. Supporting you to understand the “why” behind your reactions and the patterns that make you feel stuck is my focus.
I believe that insight is the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. If you’re ready to discover more about yourself and start making choices that feel authentic to you, I’d love to work with you.
