Scarlett Pragya , AASW

Scarlett Pragya is an AASW social worker who brings a warm, grounded and gently playful approach to therapy. She focuses on relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self esteem. Scarlett aims to make sessions practical and calming so everyday life becomes easier to manage.

Scarlett blends trauma-aware care with a whole-person lens. She pays attention to feelings and nervous-system regulation while also teaching simple tools. Clients practise breathwork, grounding, boundary-setting and routines that help day-to-day functioning.

Sessions combine compassionate listening with clear, doable strategies. Scarlett helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small behavioural changes that lead to steadier thoughts and emotions. She keeps the work active but kind, and sometimes brings lightness or humour when suitable.

Her practice suits people rebuilding after distressing events, those coping with ongoing pain or illness, and anyone wanting more ease in relationships and self-regard. Scarlett also offers support around multicultural and immigration-related concerns and isolation or loneliness.

Across seven years of practice she has supported people dealing with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and domestic violence, guilt and shame, and communication problems. Scarlett works in English and sees clients in Australia who choose online formats for therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Scarlett uses trauma-aware methods that combine nervous-system regulation with practical skills. Nervous-system regulation work focuses on simple exercises such as breath awareness and grounding to help the body settle after stressful events. This approach is useful for people dealing with post-traumatic stress, anxiety and overwhelming emotions.

She also incorporates behavioural strategies that teach concrete habits like boundary-setting and routine design. These techniques help with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and day-to-day functioning by making small, repeatable changes that reduce stress and improve clarity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Scarlett works with each person to figure out what fits their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and try strategies at a manageable pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family and varied schedules while keeping the focus on practical support and steady emotional change.
