We know how important it is to find the right person to work with. You can read more about our clinical team below and ask to work with a specific clinician, or if you’re unsure who you’d like to see, our admin team can offer recommendations based on your individual preferences and needs.

Dr Sarah Hughes, Founder of Think Clinical Psychologists

Dr. Sarah Hughes

Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Think Clinical Psychologists

Dr. Sarah Hughes is a respected Clinical Psychologist, author, and the founder of Think Clinical Psychologists, and co-founder of Think Parents, Bumps, and Bubs.  She holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a PhD from The University of Sydney and has over 15 years of clinical experience working with kids, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including complex and longstanding problems.

In her child and adolescent work, Sarah enjoys working with kids and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges, eating disorders, self-harm, and HSC and school-related stress.  In her work with adults, she has a particular interest in working with anxiety and depression, postnatal anxiety and depression, eating difficulties and disorders, work stress, and relationship issues.

Clinically, Sarah practices Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but also draws on strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).  Her experience with different treatment modalities means Sarah can match evidence-based treatment strategies to the specific issues and needs of her clients so her clients can achieve change as quickly as possible.

Sarah consults out of our North Sydney office on Mondays, our Neutral Bay offices on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and offers online consultations on Thursdays.

Our Team

*The clinical team working under the Think Clinical Psychologists banner share similar values in terms of the treatment quality and level of client care we aim to provide, but each practitioner is an individual contractor and not an employee of the practice. Most clinical psychology private practices operate this way, but for transparency sake, we wanted to mention it.
