Abbey Sawyer

Abbey is a Registered Psychologist and Sexologist who does online/phone consultations only. She holds a Master of Science in Medicine degree, specialising in psychosexual therapy, and has completed Bachelor degrees in Psychological Science and criminology, alongside a Postgraduate degree in Psychology. Abbey is passionate about the interlink between psychological health and sexuality, and enjoys supporting people of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds to enrich their sexual lives and improve their mental health.

Abbey only does online consultations (telehealth or telephone only, no face to face sessions). To book an appointment with Abbey, use Online Booking or call Vision Psychology on (07) 3088 5422.

Abbey utilises a holistic, evidence-based, and client-centred approach to therapy. Abbey’s gentle and non-judgemental nature enables her clients to feel safe and respected; she believes that the therapeutic relationship between a therapist and client is key to success. Abbey strives to ensure that her approach is never a one size fits all / textbook approach; everybody seeks therapy for different & unique reasons, and she enjoys encouraging clients to challenge the idea that therapy should be done a certain way.
