Reflections on Being a Psychotherapist & Transitioning to Retirement
After 30 years as a clinical psychotherapist, I closed my private practice in 2024. I am now semi-retired and only offering some clinical supervision to a few therapists. Semi-retirement has afforded me the space to focus more on the wisdom teachings of the Buddha dharma, lead Insight retreats and Zen sesshins, pursue writing, move and dance with joy and spend more quality time with family and friends.
Insight Teacher
Subhana leads 3 or 4 intensive silent meditation retreats each year in Byron Bay, Sydney and Victoria and also leads the Dharma Gatherings for Southern Insight in the South Island of N.Z.
Zen Teacher
Subhana is the resident teacher of the Sydney Zen Centre and founder of Kuan Yin Zen Centre in Lismore. She also teaches at the Melbourne Zen Group and at a number of zen sesshin throughout the year.
Workshops & Trainings
I offer and lead a range of psychological and spiritual workshops and courses; Awakening the Heart-Mind, Wise Heart groups, Happiness: A Way of Being, Born to Love – Attachment Workshops, Death and Dying, Dream work, & Cultivating the Boundless Heart – loving-kindness, compassion, joy & equanimity.

Writing, Art & Creativity
I have a passion for creating beautiful, wild, sacred places in the inner landscape of the heart-mind and in the world, through creative expressions of art making and creative writing that offer inspiration, healing and serenity.
Marriage Celebrant
As an authorised religious marriage celebrant I enjoy assisting couples to create ceremonies from the heart that reflect their love, values, commitment and intentions.
