Philosophy & Vision

My name is Sasha Brittain, and I am a master's degree qualified ACA registered counsellor with level 2 clinical training in the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. I provide holistic, trauma-informed and evidence-based counselling for individuals and couples. I provide a non-judgemental, culturally sensitive, neuroaffirming and inclusive space for clients to work through life's challenges. My areas of interest and expertise include childhood trauma, relationship trauma, post-diagnosis support and couples therapy. I provide practical and evidence-based therapy that is tailored to each client's unique needs.

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.
