If you're looking for relationship coaching or struggling with stress, anxiety, or anger issues, you're in the right place. My name is Sanjeev, and I’ve been working as a Relationship and Life Coach for over a decade. Based in Queensland, Australia, I offer both online and in-person one-on-one coaching sessions. I deeply value your time. To me, your life and your time are more precious than anything. I work with individuals experiencing stress, seeking relationship guidance, or dealing with anxiety, OCD, ODD, and panic attacks. I also help those who are ready to break free from old thought patterns and fully embrace the present moment. Anxiety and stress often arise when we lose connection with the present moment—a space that is timeless and formless. Once you reconnect with it, you'll begin to notice gradual yet profound changes within yourself. This is the non-conceptual, transcendent dimension—a state more powerful than any other. By tapping into it, you can gain clarity on your true purpose in life. I’m deeply committed to helping you transform your current state. Just wait and see how your life evolves! Book your free 45-minute session with me today! Always cherish the present moment—the greatest and most inevitable gift we've ever received.

Yogahari Healing provides healing, personal growth and spirituality, through therapy and yoga. I have been supporting people through personal healing for 30 years. I am a qualified Social Worker, Family Constellation Facilitator, Emotional Focused Couples Therapist and Emotional Focused Individual Therapist. I work with women, men, couples and families and can support people through the following experiences: -trauma -depression -anxiety -sexual abuse and sexual assault -childhood trauma -family issues -relationship difficulties -infidelity -couple counselling -grief and loss -building boundaries -communication -building self-esteem and self-care In my early years I worked in the community sector as a youth counsellor, family counsellor and as a group work facilitator assisting mothers and women heal from family violence. Ten years ago I moved into private practice. My therapeutic approach approach is very relational meaning that I place a great deal of importance in building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and safety. The support varies according to what each individual person is seeking and open to. I can draw on a few approaches to healing the wounded psyche/self and trauma using healing approaches and modalities such as: Emotional Focussed Therapy, somatic work, psycho-dynamic theory, trauma-informed practice, attachment theory, strength-based practice, Family Constellation work and Radical Exposure Tapping and mindfulness. What makes my work a little unique is that I am also a yoga teacher and can draw on yoga psychology for people interested in exploring life challenges, traumas and issues from this life perspective. In my years of experience as a therapist, I have witnessed the immense benefits that this adds to helping people create openings for new ways of thinking and being!

FAQs

Individual therapy and counselling sessions in Melbourne typically cost between $140 and $260 per session, depending on the practitioner's qualifications, experience, and location within the city. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates that can reduce the out-of-pocket cost significantly, particularly when seeing a registered psychologist. Factors such as session length, the type of therapy offered, and whether sessions are delivered in-person or online can also affect the final price. It's worth asking each counsellor about their fee structure and whether they offer sliding scale pricing.
