Meet Sanaz, an experienced child and family psychologist registered with AHPRA, with over 11 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families across private practice, schools, psychiatric hospitals, and community mental health services. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and has successfully completed the National Psychology Exam in Australia.
Sanaz adopts a warm, strengths-based, child-centred, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming approach, creating a safe and supportive space where children feel understood, empowered, and able to express themselves.

She also integrates parenting programs such as Circle of Security (COS), Triple P, and Tuning in to Kids/Teens.
Sanaz also works as a psychologist within School Readiness Programs (SRF), supporting 3–4-year-old kindergarten children and collaborating with educators to help build emotional, social, and developmental skills needed for a smooth transition to school.
Sanaz works primarily with children and families, with a particular interest in:

Neurodivergent clients (Autism and ADHD)
Emotion regulation and anxiety
Self-esteem, confidence, and resilience
School transitions and adjustment
Trauma, grief, and loss
Family separation and family wellbeing
