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 using evidence-based practices to facilitate healing and growth.

With this aim in mind, Sage Psychology was founded in 2017, with a vision to leave you feeling safe, seen, heard, and understood. We aim to be the best at what we do, and our specialist focus sets us apart.

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 started with my own story. 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 healing lead to a 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 on the surface, but experience the unseen anxiety and self-doubt that often goes hand-in-hand with being a high-achiever.

Our team

We’re a professional, down-to-earth, and compassionate team.

Healing begins with finding the right therapist for 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.
