Individual In-Person Psychology Sessions in Sydney
Why Choose to Come In Person?
There’s something powerful about sitting down with another person, face-to-face, and being able to talk freely. In-person sessions give you the chance to step outside your usual environment and into a calm, private space that’s just for you. For many people, simply having that separation from home, work, or family life makes it easier to focus, breathe, and really be present.
When you come to the clinic in Pyrmont, you’ll be welcomed into a comfortable room that’s designed to feel warm and relaxed rather than clinical. It’s important to me that you feel safe enough to let your guard down, whether that means sitting quietly at first, talking through what’s been heavy on your mind, or even just taking a moment to settle in with a cup of water or tea before we begin.
What Sessions Are Like
Our time together is your time. There’s no set script or expectation—you don’t need to know the right things to say or even come with a plan. Some people arrive with a clear sense of what’s troubling them, while others just know they’ve been struggling and want things to feel different. Both are completely okay.
In the first few sessions, I’ll listen closely to what’s been happening for you and get a sense of the bigger picture of your history, what you’ve tried so far, and the goals you’d like to work towards. Together, we’ll decide how therapy can be most useful for you. Sometimes this means learning practical skills to manage anxiety or stress. Other times, it’s about exploring old patterns, healing past experiences, or building a stronger sense of who you are.
The methods I draw on include evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapies. But the most important part is that they’re not applied in a “one-size-fits-all” way. Instead, I’ll adapt what we do so it fits your needs, your pace, and your personality.

4. Building confidence and self-esteem
2. Feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or low mood
5. Building confidence and self-esteem
3. Working through relationship difficulties or identity concerns
Sometimes people also come simply because they want space to reflect, to untangle their thoughts, or to make sense of where they’re heading next in life. You don’t need to be “in crisis” to benefit from therapy.
How We’ll Work Together
Therapy works best when it feels like a genuine relationship. My role isn’t to tell you what to do or to judge you, but to listen, to ask thoughtful questions, and to help you see things from new angles. Some sessions may feel practical and skill-focused, while others are more about sitting with feelings and understanding them in a deeper way.
We’ll check in regularly about how you’re finding the process. If something isn’t working, we’ll shift it. If you need more structure, we’ll add that. If you want space to just talk and be heard, we’ll hold that space. This flexibility is key—therapy is most effective when it feels right for you.
Taking the First Step
The idea of starting therapy can bring up nerves. Many people wonder, What if I don’t know what to say? What if I get emotional? What if I’m not “bad enough” to be here?
Please know that all of those worries are normal—and welcome. You don’t need to prepare or be “perfect” in how you show up. Therapy is a space where you can let yourself be exactly as you are, without needing to hide parts of yourself.

What You Might Notice After Starting
For some people, just the act of speaking things aloud to someone who’s fully listening brings immediate relief. Others find that it takes a little longer before shifts start to happen. Change doesn’t usually look like a sudden breakthrough—it’s often a gradual process of feeling more grounded, noticing small differences in how you respond to stress, or discovering a sense of hope that wasn’t there before.
There may be sessions where you walk out feeling lighter, and others where you leave still processing big emotions. Both are part of the work. What matters is that over time, you feel supported and see yourself moving closer to the life you want.
