Sarah Marx

Sarah is an Integrative Psychotherapist and has worked with adults, children and families for over 20 years. Sarah specialises in working with children who have suffered adversity, loss and trauma and those who care for them. Sarah is also interested in the impact of trauma across the lifespan from in-utero to intergenerational, and how through connection and community we can heal from adversity and break the cycle of trauma for ourselves, our communities and for future generations.

Sarah has a warm, compassionate and playful way of relating to the individuals she works with and places great emphasis on building safe and trusting relationships, believing that it is these relationships that provide the framework for meaningful change and reparation to occur. Sarah also believes in the therapeutic and transformational nature of working with the arts and will often use different art forms in her work.  Sarah’s approach is underpinned by psychoanalytical theory, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology and trauma informed practice.

Sarah holds a deep commitment to both personal and professional growth and development and has attended additional training in Sensory Attachment Intervention, Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP). Sarah has also completed the Standard Eye Movement and Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) training and the Child and Adolescent EMDR Training. Sarah feels that this allows her both to honour the uniqueness of each individual and tailor the therapy to meet the client’s needs.
