Supporting You on Your Path to Wellness

It is my great pleasure to be at your service through your journey to feeling you are the best you that you can be. I’m passionate about supporting men and women through life transitions and as you work with the deeper questions around life purpose and personal healing.

I’ve  worked for 20 years as a psychotherapist, counsellor and soul life coach with a private practice in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

I work with individuals, couples, teens and children. My vision is to help you believe in the power of your dreams and visions,  your wellness , vitality and your sense of purpose in the world.

Sharing in Group Settings

Supporting you through the significant transitions in your life and helping you to experience wellness in all areas of your life – the broad areas being the mental, physical and spiritual – is my passion. Many women join me on my Wellness and Vitality Meditation Programs – a way of working deeply on shifting anxiety, balancing moods and strengthening inner core.

For several years now I have been facilitating 6 day retreats for women in beautiful Ubud in Bali. These are called Essence of Lakshmi after the Hindu Goddess, Lakshmi who stands for abundance and prosperity spiritually as well as materially. She’s a great goddess for self care. We realise what an imbalance there is still for women in giving and receiving. We wanted to make a space for women to have time for themselves, nourish their bodies and souls and get some perspective on their lives.

I’ve written a best-seller called Puberty Girl (Allen and Unwin 2004), and I have over 18 years of experience facilitating programs for preteen girls at the Royal Hospital for Women, in schools, community services and privately. My practice runs a series of enriching, informative,  workshops for parents and enriching, interactive weekends for mothers and daughters called Let’s Talk Growing Up. 

Enabling Healthy Life Choices

While working in my private practice I also worked for over 8 years as a senior counsellor at Relationships Australia. I worked with inviduals, couples and families. I was one of the first child consultants in Sydney for supporting children in separating families.  I strove to assist women and men with self esteem issues and with developing healthy relationship choices.   For the last 8 years I have also been on the teaching faculty for the Diploma Program in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Metavision Institute, Bowral.

Getting Together on the Phone

I find it is valuable to start the process with a phone call with you before we proceed to our sessions. This helps to establish a better understanding of your specific needs and what you are hoping to gain from your work with me. Contact me now for your free initial 10 minute consultation.

Most of my clients come to me from word of mouth and personal referrals from other clients. I also have many satisfied returning clients. This seems to work well and I’m pleased to be of continued service in work that I love.  Contact Shushannfor a free 10 minute initial phone consultation.

Media Interviews and Publications

I’ve been privileged to feature in The Sydney Morning Herald’s Essentials Magazine, Practical Parenting, Living Now Magazine and on Radio 2GB for my expertise on parenting, self esteem for preteens and meditation support for mums and women’s health.

I’ve written the book, Puberty Girl (2004). About physical, emotional and psycho-social development for girls aged 9-12 years (Allen and Unwin, Crows Nest).
