​ Sally Shaw is a Melbourne based psychologist who heads
​Focussed Health Psychology
- psychologists who hold a particular focus on the provision of information,
education and support to people with ​neurological conditions and chronic illnesses (such as Multiple Sclerosis)
​and the health professionals that work with them.  

Focussed Psychological Counselling

Mostly, the people that come to Focussed Health Psychology are affected by a specific challenge, or a combination of challenges in their life. They may feel overwhelmed due to a change in health status, relationship or work status, or are finding difficulty in their emotional/psychological response to it.
​Sometimes, our psychologists see people who just need a little time and space to get some clarity to move ahead strategically.

Presentations & Workshops

A love of public speaking shines through when you are witness to Sally as a guest speaker. Whether you are looking for a presentation to inspire staff, or a session on a specific feature of psychology, Sally can design a presentation or workshop to suit your needs, and package it in a way that will have your audience thrilled with your choice of guest speaker.

It's all about being strategic...  

Our Approach

Sally and Seona work with clients to help them through a difficult situation, overcome a challenge, or figure out what to do next. "It's really all about being strategic..." is how we summarise our approach to our work with people in the therapeutic setting.
Changing health outcomes at the community level, as well as at an individual level, propels Sally into the world of public speaking and seeking out opportunities to increase the wider community's knowledge of positive psychology and its application to real life.
