Telehealth available

I am Dr Sonia Khodabakhsh, a Registered Psychologist with more than 15 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life�s challenges. My professional background spans a range of roles�including therapist, lecturer, and researcher�and I have worked across diverse settings, including private practice and community mental health centres.

Having spent over a decade in multicultural environments in Singapore and Malaysia, I bring extensive experience working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Originally from Iran, I provide therapy in both Persian (Farsi) and English.

I believe that, with compassionate, evidence-based support, every person has the capacity to move beyond suffering and create a life of meaning, purpose, and fulfilment. I aim to help each individual enhance their well-being, increase life satisfaction, and progress confidently toward their personal goals.
