About Us

"Sana" meaning in latin "a healthy mind in a healthy body".

Sana Psychology is a Consultancy and Training business founded and operated by two Registered Psychologists, Davinia Glendenning and Alana Roberts.

At Sana Psychology we take the latest research from the field of Neuroscience, Clinical Psychology and Positive Psychology to develop education and support programs aimed at preventing psychological illness, increasing resilience, and assisting those who are supporting people experiencing difficulties with mental health.

Sana Psychology was founded in 2018 as an amalgamation of business interests of both Alana and Davinia.

We decided two heads were better than one ............

Together we bring more than 25 years of experience in the field of Psychology and through our work have heard stories of survival, heroism, happiness, grief, adaptation, worthlessness, hope, abuse, neglect, fun, fear and the list goes on. No two stories have been the same, with every client encompassing a unique set of perceptions, experiences and biology that shapes their health and how they interact with the world.

After many years assisting individual clients with their treatment, and witnessing the effect mental illness has on their lives and the lives of their families,  we were struck by how much more can be done to promote mental resilience and enhance recovery through education programs.

We aim to assist individuals build a healthy brain that can curiously and creatively look at the world and know with certainty that although the road ahead may look daunting, they have the strategies to cope, evolve and flourish.

We are passionate about a holistic approach which encompasses facilitating increased understanding of mental health within families, the community and also  in relevant industries, including insurance and health services, to improve support for those in need. 

As a great teacher of ours once taught us, “it is not ‘what you know’ but rather ‘who you are’ that is important”. Our training and support sessions work to provide a layering of knowledge and support across time, to ensure that the information is not just understood but instead, integrated into everyday actions. We are firm believers that  change starts with awareness, and awareness starts with knowledge. Our aim is to deliver brain-based education in easy to understand language, and provide tools and strategies that can be implemented easily into life and work thus creating lasting change.

We are here to help individuals, groups and organisations challenge and adapt the way they see the world and respond to it. Sana will help you create a healthy brain in a healthy body, and develop healthy empowered relationships knowing that you have the tools and strategies to adapt at any point.
