Ms Sasha Brittain

Philosophy & Vision

My name is Sasha Brittain. I'm a masters degree qualified counsellor with level 2 clinical training in the Gottman Method. I provide holistic, trauma-informed and evidence-based therapy for individuals and couples. I am passionate about supporting clients to improve their mental health, emotional wellbeing and relationships.

I have experience supporting clients with trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, existential and identity issues, grief and loss, adjusting to change and parenting challenges.

When working with couples, I primarily use the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. The Gottman Method is designed to support couples of all cultures and sexual orientations, and is backed by over 40 years of research.

Therapy Approach

I take an integrated, holistic and strengths-based approach when working with individuals, and use a variety of client-centred and evidence based therapies.

The main approach I use when working with couples is the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. It is evidence-based and is suitable for couples of all cultures and sexual orientations. It includes practical and actionable strategies for couples to improve their relationship.

I am also passionate about providing culturally sensitive therapy. Before becoming a counsellor, I studied Japanese language and culture, and worked in Japan for a few years as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher. As an ESL teacher in Brisbane, I worked with people from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds, including with refugees.
