Rana Salloum - Relationships & Diversity (Sentient)
Counsellor/Therapist, Counsellor, MA, ACA-L3
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.

Cairns is tropical north Queensland's major city and the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, with an economy driven by tourism and hospitality that creates a particular mental health landscape around seasonal employment instability, the geographic isolation of a far-north city, and the challenges of a workforce that is transient by nature. The city and its surrounding region have a significant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, and culturally safe mental health services for Indigenous communities are an important but often under-resourced part of the local care landscape. Queensland Health provides public mental health services in the region, and a private therapy sector—smaller than in Brisbane or the Gold Coast—serves permanent residents and some longer-term workers. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship difficulties, and the challenges of isolation and economic uncertainty in a remote tropical city.
