We empower high-achieving and neurodiverse children and adults

to maximise their full potential through specialised therapy, assessments, and workshops.

Our Story

Psychology is woven into the stories of our lives; the what, why, and how we came to be who we are.

Like many great stories, ours began with one simple idea: To create a collective of passionate practitioners, each wholeheartedly invested in the clients that they have the privilege of working with. 


With this aim in mind, Sage Psychology was founded in 2017, with a vision to leave you feeling seen, heard and understood. We aim to be the best at what we do, and our specialist focus sets us apart. We specialise in working with two groups: high-achievers and those who are neurodivergent (Autism Spectrum Condition/ASC and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder/ADHD). 

Our Services

Our specialist focus is what sets us apart, and our offering includes the following:

Therapy

Evidence-based therapy for high-achievers and neurodivergence.

Assessments

workshops

Empower yourself to maximise your mental health with our courses.

meet the founder

I’m Dianne,

a clinical psychologist and the founder of Sage Psychology

I am down to earth, slightly irreverent and deeply relational, with an excellent sense of humour. My passion for working with high-achievers came from my own experience as a university student. Despite looking as though I had it all together, anxiety and self-doubt were in the driver’s seat.

I relentlessly pursued success at the expense of myself.

My journey to becoming a psychologist was where I was confronted with my self, leading to a deep and profound shift in the way I think, reason, process emotions, and relate to myself and others. Since then, my vision has been to create a counselling space for people who look like they have it altogether, but experience the unseen anxiety and self-doubt that often goes hand-in-hand with being a high-achiever.

Our team

We understand that we are people before we are professionals

Which is why we’re a friendly, down to earth, and compassionate team.

We prioritise genuine therapeutic relationships, which begins with finding the right therapist to suit you, and your particular needs. If you would like to experience what working with one of our practitioners would be like, book your free twenty minute consultation call.
