Meet your practitioner Amanda Sacco

I am married with two beautiful children. I worked previously at a counselling practice in Melbourne, however made the switch to country life and opened a private practice in Wangaratta.


 I now live on a farm in a place called Porepunkah, near the popular tourist destination of Bright with two cats, chooks, goats, horses and a menagerie of animals, you could definitely call me an animal lover.


Embarking on any type of counselling, can be incredibly daunting. It takes great courage, intentional effort and strength to make a conscious choice to delve into the world of therapy, and so I deeply admire all the people I meet taking on this monumental task.


I believe in connection and the undeniable fact we all know to be true, that as humans we are biologically, cognitively, spiritually and physically wired for connection. Without it, it can create an intense longing, loneliness, and pain within us that can feel intolerable. 


As with anything worthwhile, it is not always easy, it takes intentional effort, but the payoff is undeniable. So, if any of this resonates, you are just one click away from embarking on a worthwhile journey of discovery and healing which will be woven into your story forever.
