At Capaz we love all brains. Some brains are racy, and are like fireworks, some brains like things to be more consistent and more predictable. We work with you and your child to identify, understand your unique brain, drawing on your strengths and evidence based strategies that set you up for life and lasting change.
For those who appreciate the interconnectedness of mental, physical, and emotional health, whether you're exploring these dimensions for yourself or aiming to introduce holistic concepts to your child.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big decision, and we’re here to make the process as simple and comfortable as possible. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, or someone you care for, we’ll guide you through each step.

Capaz Health was founded by a clinical psychologist, Sarah Shuter, with nearly 15 years of experience, driven by a passion for integrating the therapeutic benefits of nature into traditional psychological therapies.
After years of working in various settings, including headspace, women’s and youth refuges, and private practice, Sarah embarked on a journey that reshaped her perspective on mental health care. This journey, enriched by personal experiences and professional insights, led to the creation of Capaz—a place where therapy transcends conventional boundaries to embrace the healing power of the natural environment.
Sarah's approach is a combination of CBT, mindfulness, neuropsychotherapy, movement therapy, play and psychoneuroimmunology.
Capaz focuses on utilising neuroscience principles and psychoneuroimmunology principles (emotional states affect our physical health and well-being), thus focusing on the mind-body connection.
