Meet Sal Barnett
Counsellor and Reiki Therapist
My passion is people
Although some might describe me as naturally introverted, the moments when I feel most myself are those spent connecting with others. Holding space for people as they navigate the complexities and hardships of life is an honour. My greatest hope is for others to discover inner peace and succeed in whatever it is they are striving toward.
I have a particular interest in couples counselling. I believe that nurturing the relationships we hold plays a fundamental role in our overall contentment and emotional well-being.
A little about me...
Straight out of school, I began studying social work. Early on, I realised that while I was passionate about the field, I didn’t yet have the life experience I felt was necessary to support others in a meaningful way. I pivoted into a business degree and spent several years working in the corporate world.
Life evolved as it does —I married, had two children, and moved to a remote acreage surrounded by forest, only accessible by 4WD. It was there that I started a women’s wellness business, blending my passion for wellbeing with the skills I had gained in business. It was also during this time that I recognised a deeper calling: if I wanted to do more of the work I truly loved, I needed to return to study.
And so, I did. Now, here I am—rooted in life experience, driven by purpose, and grateful to be able to share in other's journeys.

Couples Counselling

Whether you’re facing a specific issue or simply want to deepen your connection, couples counselling can be a powerful step toward greater understanding and emotional intimacy.
Counselling & Reiki
Standard session 50mins (first appointment is 60mins) - $140
The integration of counselling and Reiki can be highly effective, given the profound connection between our mental and physical well-being. Our sessions commence with open dialogue, allowing us to explore your needs and concerns, while also considering the holistic aspects of your health and healing journey. We will then move to the massage table and work to remove energy blockages and restore balance. This practice is grounded in the belief that our emotional experiences and challenges are often held in our physical tissue—by releasing what’s stored, we create space for greater clarity, peace, and healing.
Reiki
Standard session 30mins (first appointment is 45mins) - $80
Reiki is a Japanese holistic healing practice that focuses on channelling energy to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is grounded in the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living beings—and when this energy becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can contribute to stress, discomfort, or illness.
During a Reiki session, you remain fully clothed while Sal, the Reiki practitioner, gently places their hands on or just above specific energy centres (chakras) in the body. The intention is to remove energetic blockages, restore balance, and encourage deep relaxation and healing.
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful practice that complements other therapeutic approaches, promoting harmony across mind, body, and spirit.
