I’ve been exploring the impacts of interpersonal wounds for the better part of my life.  I’m really interested in the ways early life experiences shape the way we view ourselves and the world around us, and I’m particularly drawn to explore the shadow side of life experiences that most of us go through but struggle to share or speak about with others.  I wholeheartedly believe that when the conditions are right within a safe therapeutic relationship that we each have the capacity to shed painful or frightening memories, beliefs and feelings and that we all have it in us to expand and transform.  I’m a Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist and Accredited Clinical & Mental Health Social Worker specializing in trauma, attachment and interpersonal violence. 

I’ve been practicing for over 20 years in Victoria, NSW and since 2021 South Australia.  Since 2005 I’ve also been in private practice working therapeutically with a particular emphasis on trauma and the body.  I provide clinical supervision to professionals across Australia both individually and groups and I am a facilitator with Blue Knot foundation. 

I’ve published numerous articles (for a full list see my website: sherizala.com.au) and presented at local and international conferences in relation to therapeutic practice with people who suffer traumatic symptoms and impacts.  I enjoy providing training to other health and welfare professionals specifically in relation to trauma and can provide tailored workshops.  I work with adults and adolescents over 16 years.  I also see couples where trauma is part of their current difficulties.

I’m currently in full time private practice in Willunga, Adelaide.
