She also loves a ​storm and chasing waterfalls. When she isn’t in the chair, ​or consulting - she is forest bathing, camping or road ​tripping with her tribe. She is a visual person, and often ​shares her thoughts via scribbles in therapy. She isn’t ​very tech savvy and prefers pen and paper.Noosha was motivated to become a Psychologist as she ​learned early in life that human suffering is unique, on a ​continuum, and doesn’t discriminate. As such, she ​discovered happiness too must be ongoing, and ​therefore must be harnessed through psychotherapy. ​She named her business Psychfirst, a play on words ​emphasising the need for our psychology to be ​prioritised. ​
