Sam Khankhalili

Registered Psychologist
Sam’s passion for psychology began with a deep curiosity about people’s inner worlds, human behaviour, and what shapes the way individuals think, feel, respond, and perform. Alongside this curiosity, Sam has always been driven to support people through life’s challenges, which naturally led him toward a career as a psychologist.

*Weekend Appointments Available

Sam has experience working across a wide range of presentations, with a particular interest in sport, performance, and high-performance environments. He enjoys working with athletes from a variety of sporting backgrounds, supporting them with mindset, confidence, emotional regulation, pressure, performance anxiety, identity, and the psychological challenges that can come with high-level competition and personal growth.

A key part of Sam’s approach is recognising that an individual is made up of many different domains, with sport and performance being one part of the person’s life. Sam believes that other areas such as relationships, identity, wellbeing, work, study, culture, and family are equally important in supporting overall functioning.

Because of this, he works with clients across many areas of life, supporting challenges such as anxiety, depression, distress, trauma, neurodivergence, vocational stress, identity concerns, addictive patterns, grief and loss, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, OCD, cultural concerns, anger, parenting-related concerns, student challenges and NDIS-related support.

Sam works with clients aged 12 years and older. His therapeutic approach is flexible and tailored to the individual, drawing from a range of evidence-based interventions including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
  • EMDR
  • Schema Therapy
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy-informed strategies
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Visualisation and performance-based strategies

Sam strongly advocates that mental health should be valued and trained in the same way we value physical health. His purpose is to help shift the way people view mental health, encouraging the idea that support is not only for moments of crisis, but also for growth, self-understanding, and becoming the best version of ourselves.

Sam runs his own independent practice and engages Clear Health Psychology to provide administrative and business support, allowing him to provide assessment and treatment to his clients.
