Sasha Truong

Sasha Truong is a highly regarded professional counsellor with more than 800 hours of direct clinical experience as a schema therapist and a Level 3 membership with the Australian Counselling Association. She works with adolescents, adults and couples across a wide range of presenting concerns.

Sasha passionately views her clients as full of worth, 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. Her top-down and bottom-up approach means that symptoms are treated as well as the longer-term work of reducing the impact of life-long patterns of coping.

To support her clients' therapeutic goals, Sasha selectively incorporates various modalities to suit each individual's unique needs. This eclecticism exists within a Schema Therapy framework and includes: Family Systems Therapy with a focus on Differentiation, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with an emphasis on Attachment Theory & Object Relations, Narrative Therapy with an emphasis on Reframing and Externalisation, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that incorporates Socratic Guided Self-discovery, Cognitive Restructuring, and Mindful Self-compassion. Clients learn to cope in more adaptive ways to the challenges of life but even more importantly, as one client attests: “I’ve learnt to become my own best friend.”
