About Sara Raby

Hi, I'm Sara — a Fully Registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar with AHPRA, and the founder of Mindflow Psychology Services. 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. I aim to offer a safe and supportive space to make sense of your experiences, explore what matters most to you, and work towards change that's meaningful to you.

✓ Registered Psychologist & Clinical Psychology Registrar (AHPRA)

✓ Perinatal Mental Health, 

✓ Eating Disorders

✓ Psychological Assessments

✓ Trauma-informed

✓ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

✓ Relational Psychodynamic Therapy

I work with adolescents & adults across a range of concerns — trauma, eating disorders, fertility and perinatal mental health, psychological assessments, and general anxiety, depression and life transitions. I also support individuals navigating burnout, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, sleep difficulties, ADHD, autism, functional neurological disorders, and complex trauma.

Perhaps you're...

●  carrying more than you feel able to say out loud

●  living with the effects of trauma or difficult past experiences

●  struggling with your relationship with food, eating or your body

●  navigating fertility, pregnancy, birth or early motherhood

●  experiencing ongoing sleep difficulties

●  living with a functional neurological disorder (FND)

●  seeking clarity through an ADHD, autism or cognitive assessment

●  simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply

If any of this feels familiar, please free to reach out.

Therapy isn't about being told what to do. It's about creating a supportive space where we can understand what's happening beneath the surface and work together, at a pace that feels right for you.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and draws primarily on:

✓ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

✓ Relational Psychodynamic Therapy — exploring how past experiences and relationships may shape how you feel and connect now

I also draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) where they're a good fit for what you need, including CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) for sleep difficulties — adapting the approach to what may genuinely support you, rather than fitting you into one model.

✓ Registered Psychologist & Clinical Psychology Registrar with AHPRA

✓ Applied Skills in Perinatal Mental Health Assessment and Care (Centre of Perinatal Excellence, COPE)

✓ Additional training in EMDR, trauma-informed care, relational psychodynamic approaches, CBT (including CBT-I for insomnia), and DBT

✓ Experience supporting clients with functional neurological disorders (FND)

✓ Experience across clinical and community mental health settings, working with individuals across the lifespan

Before entering clinical training, I spent over a decade working across mental health, disability, justice, and alcohol and other drug sectors — experience that shapes the way I understand and connect with clients today.

My research has explored the experiences of women who become mothers following early maternal loss, and the transition to motherhood for migrant women in Australia.

As a mother of three, I understand firsthand the profound shifts that motherhood and life transitions can bring. This lived experience, alongside my clinical training, informs the way I work with clients.

Every client's story is different, which is why therapy is tailored to your individual needs and goals, drawing on whichever approaches — EMDR, relational psychodynamic, CBT, CBT-I or DBT — may best suit what you're working through.

You'll be welcomed into a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore what you're experiencing at your own pace. 

My work is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based practice, adapting each session to what may best support you.
