Mrs Sarah Bergman

Psychotherapist (Registered)

Sarah provides professional, supportive and respectful counselling to individuals and couples at her private practice in Tweed Heads.

About Me

Sarah offers a warm, confidential space where individuals and couples can explore their challenges. Her professional, respectful approach helps clients make sense of difficult emotions and relationship dynamics. Drawing on Gestalt principles, she guides people to gain clarity and develop practical ways forward. This supportive environment is ideal for those seeking understanding and lasting change.

Approach

At my Tweed Heads practice and in online sessions I pay close attention to what’s happening between you and yourself, guiding gentle experiments that reveal stuck patterns and bodily-held feelings. Session pace is collaborative and tuned to your needs—sometimes brief check-ins, sometimes deeper somatic noticing—and I offer simple practices to try between meetings so new ways of relating can be tested in daily life. We track small shifts in relationships, transitions, grief or workplace stress rather than chasing quick fixes. This way of working suits those wanting practical, grounded clarity.
