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 Clinical Psychologist Sarah Shuter, with over 16 years of experience across a diverse range of mental health settings, including headspace, women’s and youth refuges, and private practice.
Capaz was born from Sarah’s passion for reimagining traditional psychological care and her belief that therapy can extend beyond the walls of a consulting room. Drawing on extensive professional experience and personal insight, Sarah developed Capaz as a space where evidence-based psychological therapy, behaviour support, and connection come together to support meaningful and lasting change.
Capaz Health is also NDIS registered and provides psychological services and behaviour support, working alongside individuals, families and support teams to better understand behaviour, build skills, strengthen relationships and improve quality of life.
Sarah’s clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and neuropsychotherapy, with interventions tailored to each person’s individual needs, strengths and goals.
At the heart of Capaz is an understanding of the mind-body connection. Psychological wellbeing is not separate from physical health; our thoughts, emotions, nervous system and physical wellbeing are deeply interconnected. Sarah incorporates principles from neuroscience and the mind-body connection to help people understand these connections and develop practical strategies to support regulation, resilience and wellbeing.
Our behaviour support approach is person-centred, strengths-based and trauma-informed, focusing on understanding the purpose and function of behaviour rather than simply trying to stop it. We work to identify what a person is communicating through their behaviour, address underlying needs, build functional skills and create environments that support success and participation.
At Capaz, we look beyond the behaviour or diagnosis to understand the whole person. We believe meaningful change happens through connection, evidence-based practice and creating opportunities for people to live well — sometimes with a little more fresh air along the way.
