Welcome to Uralba Clinic
Helping you understand your life.
Building psychoanalytic capacity in the Northern Rivers
The Uralba Clinic location is closed until further notice due to flood damages.
We have all made arrangements to continue providing care. For new and existing referrals please call or email individual clinicians as per our details listed below.
We feel strongly about the efficacy of psychoanalytic psychotherapy to help to assist the understanding of mental life.
Our focus is upon promoting the practice and teaching of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the Northern Rivers region.
We provide therapeutic and supervisory services designed to assist in the building of a psychoanalytic capacity in the local community.
"Peace doesn't come from an external source or conquest,
but through our own courage.
The courage to cross our inner
thresholds, to become intimate with ourselves, our pain and fear."
WHAT IS PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
This process of self discovery comes alive when we put our minds together. Emotional attunement allows for a deeper understanding of ourselves. As a consequence of this work we discover truth, peace and freedom.
ABOUT
PSYCHOANALYSIS
Psychoanalysis provides a way of being helpful and interested in the intimate understanding of the self. Self knowledge is the only route to making life less disappointing, confusing and frightening.
Psychoanalysis assists in the understanding of what causes our loneliness and pain which are not always obvious to us and can seem strange.
An analytic understanding can help to reduce the hold that obsessions and unproductive anxiety can have on our selves. We can become more capable of love and cooperation.

Sabrina David
As a registered Art Therapist, I've had experience with a range of mental health presentations and work individually with children, young people and adults. I have a background and interest in working with eating disorders, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and women's health. Operating through a person-centered framework that allows me to offer tailored and individualized support, I work largely through an ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) model and attachment-based approach.
Art Therapy is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy, which involves using materials and the creative process of making art, to foster self-awareness and self-expression, and elicit therapeutic change.
No artistic skills are required to experience the therapeutic benefit of art making, as clients are invited to explore the power of metaphor and symbolic value inherent in the images they create. The role of the facilitating art therapist is not to analyze these images, but instead support the client in forming their own narratives and sharing their experience of the art making process.
Rates: $120 per session
A minimum of 24 hours is required for cancellations,
otherwise a fee of $60 will be incurred.
Qualifications:
Masters in Art Therapy
