Sasha Truong

Sasha Truong is a highly regarded professional counsellor with many years of experience in the field. She is a member of the Australian Counselling Association and works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a wide range of presenting concerns.

Sasha passionately views her clients as full of worth, nobility, agency, and resilience. Inspired by the profound findings of attachment theory, Sasha prioritises the establishment of a secure-attachment with her clients through fostering an environment that is supportive and inducive to change. By taking the time to develop this therapeutic foundation with each client from the outset, the way is prepared for meaningful, collaborative work to be done. This can result in change on a symptomatic level as well as on the deeper level of a shift in one’s way of being. 

To meet these therapeutic ends, Sasha selectively incorporates various modalities to suit her clients’ unique needs. These include psychodynamic psychotherapy with an emphasis on attachment theory and object-relations, and family systems therapy with an emphasis on differentiation. Furthermore, narrative therapy with an emphasis on reframing, solution focused brief therapy with an emphasis on exceptions, and cognitive behavioural therapies with an emphasis on Socratic guided self-discovery, adaptive thinking, and mindfulness self-compassion. Ultimately, Sasha’s clients not only become equipped with the knowledge and tools to elicit calm in the midst of the storms of life, but they also become empowered to navigate the choppy waters guided by the compass of a deep reconnection to their values and aspirations.
