Meet the Team
Seachange began as three psychotherapists, who through professional connection and friendship developed a shared vision; one of an inclusive, high-quality, and inviting therapy service.
Sadaf, Matt and Christina met while working at Locke Psychotherapy Group as Associates. Their shared passion for helping others complimented each other well and through this, Seachange Psychotherapy was created.
​
Over the past five years, our practice has experienced growth and changes. Last year we welcomed Marge Kloet to Seachange Psychotherapy. This year we are saying goodbye to Christina, who will be practicing with a new team. We wish her all the best in her new endeavours.
​
Please feel free to review the profiles of our team and reach out with a suggestion of who you feel might be a good fit for you. We are also happy to provide that recommendation.
