My name is Dr. Amirah Shah. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist specializing in grief, trauma and transculturalism. Often the effects of trauma and grief pose challenges that disrupt the balance of our body, our mind, our relationships, and our spirit.

 

You may experience flashbacks, intrusive thoughts and images, stumble upon triggers that hijack your nervous system and send you spiralling into dark places, difficulty regulating your emotions, feeling stuck, losing meaning in life, inability to find any joy in life, sadness, shock, disbelief, injustice, shame, hopelessness, helplessness, misplaced or overwhelming anger, exhaustion, unexplainable aches and pains, feelings incredible aloneness... the list goes on.

 

For some, it's easy to talk about these tragedies, while for others, it's unbearably difficult and almost never been spoken of. A story trapped inside. Occasionally, some of these painful memories were not even available until later in life, and it's difficult to believe them or know what to do with them.

 

To top it off, all of these challenges become inextricably more difficult to navigate when there are complex cultural layers to consider, and important relationships at stake.​
 

As one of Australia's leading experts in this area, I invite you to take that pivotal step towards healing your emotional wounds and re-building your ideal self. My work is grounded in eclectic and holistic approaches to help you regulate, process, recreate meaning from your trauma and grief, and ultimately, attain posttraumatic growth.

​

Growth and resolution are best attained holistically, and I hope to be able to create a safe environment with you.
