Sally Horne - Grounded Mind Psychology
Registered Psychologist | Geelong & Telehealth Australia-wide
Sally at Grounded Mind Psychology offers compassionate, down-to-earth psychological care for adults living with chronic illness or pain, healthcare professionals and other busy professionals, and people seeking support for mental health and wellbeing, relationships, or times of significant change.
Sally Horne is a registered psychologist with over 20 years of experience in health, mental health, coaching, and organisational settings. She works with adults who are navigating a range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, chronic health issues, relationship strain, or moments of change that feel unsettling or uncertain.
Before moving into private practice, Sally spent many years working in health settings, alongside extensive work in health and wellbeing coaching. This background shapes an integrative, health‑informed approach, particularly for people managing psychological symptoms alongside chronic illness, pain, fatigue, medical treatment, or prolonged stress.
Sally has also worked in professional coaching, including performance and executive coaching, supporting individuals in leadership and high-demand roles. This experience informs her collaborative, practical approach to therapy, especially for those experiencing burnout, performance pressure, perfectionism, or loss of direction in demanding environments.
Support for Chronic Health Conditions, Pain & Injury
Sally works with adults living with chronic illness, pain, injury, fatigue, or the psychological impacts of medical treatment. She understands how physical health challenges can affect emotional wellbeing, identity, work, and relationships. This support focuses on emotional adjustment, nervous-system regulation, pacing and coping strategies, and rebuilding confidence and trust in the body, often alongside care from GPs or other health professionals.
Support for Healthcare Workers
Sally provides confidential support for healthcare professionals navigating the emotional and psychological demands of clinical work. This includes burnout, moral distress, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and the strain of high responsibility and systemic pressure. Therapy offers a reflective space to process experiences, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with values, purpose, and sustainable ways of working.
Support for Professionals in High-Demand Roles
Beyond healthcare, Sally supports professionals in other high-demand roles who are experiencing stress, burnout, performance pressure, work-life imbalance, or loss of direction. This work supports both symptom relief and deeper reflection, helping people clarify priorities, strengthen boundaries, and make thoughtful, values-aligned decisions about work and life. Principles and practices from coaching psychology may be integrated where helpful.
