SAKSHI SOMANI

THERAPIST

Sakshi graduated from Murdoch University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Human Resource Management. From a young age, she has been fascinated by human behavior and the inner workings of the mind – a curiosity that deepened through her academic journey in psychology. Her studies have further fueled her passion for understanding people and inspired her commitment to supporting those in need, particularly children navigating developmental and emotional challenges.

Driven by the belief that every child has the potential to achieve their goals, Sakshi is especially passionate about the importance of early intervention. She believes that with the right support and understanding of their unique abilities, children can overcome challenges and thrive. Her goal is to build a strong foundation of knowledge and practical experience so she can be fully equipped to contribute meaningfully to children’s growth and development.

Sakshi is eager to continue learning and refining her skills in the field of psychology, with the hope of making a lasting, positive impact on individuals and the broader community

Outside of work, Sakshi enjoys watching historical and thriller documentaries, which reflect her love for storytelling and uncovering deeper meanings behind events and behaviours. She also enjoys trying out new outdoor activities with friends and family, embracing opportunities for connection.
