Therapy Services in Bairnsdale
Serotonin Psychology offers trauma-informed counselling, psychotherapy and creative arts therapy in Bairnsdale and across East Gippsland — with face-to-face, online and outreach appointments available by arrangement.
Serotonin Psychology is a Bairnsdale-based counselling and creative arts therapy practice serving the wider East Gippsland community. Sacha is a counsellor, psychotherapist and creative arts therapist with more than 15 years of professional experience supporting children, young people, adults and the elderly.
Sessions are warm, steady and trauma-informed. Whatever brings you to therapy — anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship difficulty, life transitions, neurodivergence, or the long shadow of difficult experiences — there is no requirement to arrive with the "right" words. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation; everything else builds from there.
Clients can choose the appointment format that best fits their circumstances. Face-to-face appointments take place in the Bairnsdale clinic. Online appointments are available Australia-wide for those who can't easily travel. Outreach appointments may be available across East Gippsland by arrangement, with an additional travel fee. Serotonin Psychology welcomes self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants.
