About me

Hi, I’m Vani. I’ve worked across private practice, community health, and correctional settings, meeting a diverse range of people and learning from each of them. This journey has deepened both my skills as a psychologist and my understanding of life as a shared human experience. I’m genuinely curious about your story, your experiences, and your strengths, and I’m here to support you in building awareness and navigating life’s challenges so you can thrive.

How I will help you

My approach is grounded in genuine compassion and flexibility. Depending on where we are in therapy and what you need, I may offer guidance and practical strategies or simply provide a safe, listening space. Together, we’ll work through challenges such as life transitions, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and questions of meaning and identity. I aim to support you in creating positive change that feels authentic and lasting, always moving at a pace that suits you.

When I’m not working

I love travelling the world, cooking and eating wholesome food, and soaking up nature — whether that’s smelling fresh rain, watching sunsets, or listening to the sound of water.

Freqeuently asked questions

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist at Seed Psychology. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With a MHCP, you may be eligible for rebates on up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be used at any psychology clinic of your choice. To access Medicare psychology rebates, book an appointment with your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan. Most referrals begin with 6 sessions, with the option to access 4 more after a review. Referrals can also be provided by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
Our client care team will support you through every step of getting started. They’ll take the time to understand your needs and preferences, then thoughtfully match you with a psychologist whose approach and availability align with what you’re looking for.

When matching you with a Psychologist, we consider:
- The reason you’re seeking therapy
- Your availability and preferred session times
- Whether you’d like to attend in person or online
- The therapeutic approaches most suited to your needs
- Any other preferences you share with us
We understand that finding the right fit is important. Building a strong relationship with your psychologist can take time, but if at any point you feel the connection isn’t quite right, we’ll support you in transferring to someone new. Your well-being is always our priority.
Our experienced team of Psychologists offers warm, evidence-based support that’s collaborative, inclusive and grounded in genuine understanding. We provide individual, relationship or family therapy for a wide range of concerns. Additionally, we offer couples therapy, online therapy, psychological assessments (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Assessments), and workshops.
If you have extras cover, private health insurance may provide rebates. Check your individual policy for coverage and claiming options.
