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.

Toowoomba is Australia's second-largest inland city and the regional hub of the Darling Downs, serving a large agricultural hinterland across one of Australia's most productive farming regions, and its mental health landscape reflects both the needs of a regional city and the particular stresses of farming communities navigating drought, financial pressure, and geographic isolation. Darling Downs Health provides public mental health services, and the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) based in Toowoomba contributes trained counsellors and psychologists to the local mental health workforce through its psychology programs. Agricultural stress, the mental health impact of prolonged drought, and the challenges of rural isolation are among the most significant mental health issues in the broader Toowoomba region, and the city serves as the access point for mental health care across a wide rural area. Common therapy concerns include farm and rural stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the adjustment challenges of agricultural and service sector workers in a regional city.
