Rana Salloum - Relationships & Diversity (Sentient)
Counselor/Therapist, Counsellor, MA, ACA-L3
In-Person in Sydney, NSW 2000
Online in Australia
I have over 15 years of experience working with multicultural populations, in different countries such as the USA and Lebanon. I offer therapy in both English and Arabic. I can also hold a conversation in French. I support at-risk youth, displaced families, and those facing relationship problems. I work with mood disorders and different types of trauma, created by bullying and domestic violence. I offer a client-centred and multicultural approach in therapy. I emphasise accepting the uniqueness of each individual while also working with the intricate impact of culture on self- awareness, development and overall well-being.
In addition to the wide range of therapeutic techniques I use, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also an animal lover and believe in integrating animals into therapy, when appropriate, as this type of therapy can provide soothing, healing and comfort for individual clients.
I view the process of counselling as a delicate and enriching experience, both for my clients as well as for myself as a counsellor.

Treatment Approach
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
Approach Description: In addition to the wide range of therapeutic techniques, I offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Our team of qualified psychologists and counsellors are highly skilled and
experienced in treating stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
We are different from other practices for two main reasons:
Our work with and support for diversity & inclusion: This encompasses working on
issues relating to gender, ethnicity, LGBTQI+, consumption habits & lifestyles and
other issues facing minority and marginalized groups.
Our evidence-based yet innovative techniques: While we use and are highly
experienced in mainstream approaches such as schema therapy, ACT, DBT and
CBT, we don’t use a cookie cutter approach. Instead, we tailor our therapeutic
approaches to suit different personality types and client needs. Some of our
approaches include Animal-assisted therapy, Art therapy, Music therapy, Somatic
experiencing, Conscious connected breathwork, among others.
Our work also encompasses supporting both human beings as well as companion
animals to help foster a sense of holistic well-being.
