Clinical psychologist in Newtown
Welcome to Deep Well Psychology. I’m a psychologist in Newtown, offering thoughtful, evidence-based therapy to help you navigate life’s challenges and move toward greater wellbeing.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences with openness and care. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma, or stress, therapy provides the space to better understand yourself and make lasting, meaningful change.
Sessions are available in person in Newtown, as well as online or by phone, giving you the flexibility to access professional psychological support wherever you are.
Psychology clinic Newtown
As a Newtown psychologist, I offer therapy for adults and adolescents that is tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. I draw on evidence-based approaches such as:
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
Schema therapy
Mindfulness-based therapies
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)
I’ll work with you to identify the patterns and experiences that may be keeping you stuck, and to develop tools that support growth, confidence, and emotional balance.
Therapist Newtown
As a therapist in Newtown, I provide compassionate care for a wide range of concerns, including:
Anxiety and worry
Depression and low mood
Trauma and distressing experiences
Grief and loss
Relationship and family difficulties
Work-related stress and burnout
For clients processing trauma or painful memories, I offer EMDR therapy as part of an integrated, trauma-informed approach. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity of difficult experiences and support your healing process.
Online psychology and counselling
I understand that attending therapy in person isn’t always convenient or possible. That’s why I offer online and phone sessions for clients across Sydney and beyond.
Online therapy provides the same level of care, confidentiality, and effectiveness as in-person sessions, allowing you to access support from the comfort of your home or a private space that suits you.
Many clients find that online psychology sessions fit more easily into their schedules while maintaining the depth and connection of face-to-face therapy.

Common questions about seeing a psychologist in Newtown
What issues can a psychologist in Newtown help with?
As a psychologist in Newtown, I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual needs.
What happens in the first therapy session?
The first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We’ll discuss what has brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you’d like to achieve. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and decide whether you feel comfortable working together.
Do you offer online or phone sessions?
Yes, absolutely. In addition to in-person sessions at my psychology clinic in Newtown, I offer online and phone appointments. Many clients find online therapy flexible and convenient, while still providing the same level of care and connection.
What kinds of therapy do you use?
I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). I draw on these methods depending on your goals, preferences, and presenting issues.
What is EMDR therapy, and how can it help?
EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) is a therapy designed to help people process traumatic or distressing experiences. It assists the brain in reprocessing memories so they feel less emotionally charged. I offer EMDR as part of trauma-informed therapy at my psychology clinic in Newtown and online.
How long does therapy usually take?
The length of therapy depends on your personal goals and the nature of your concerns. Some clients attend for a few sessions to focus on a specific issue, while others find ongoing therapy helpful for deeper self-understanding and growth. We’ll discuss this together as therapy progresses.
Can I see a psychologist in Newtown without a GP referral?
Yes, you can book directly without a referral. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you’ll need a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Many clients choose to do this before their first session.
What’s the difference between a psychologist and a counsellor or therapist?
A psychologist has completed extensive postgraduate training and is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). While counsellors and therapists also provide valuable support, psychologists use evidence-based therapies grounded in psychological research. As a therapist in Newtown, I integrate both the science and the art of therapy to meet your unique needs.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Everything discussed in therapy remains confidential, except in very limited circumstances where I’m legally required to share information (for example, to ensure your safety or someone else’s). Your privacy and trust are always my highest priority.
How can I book an appointment with a Newtown psychologist?
You can contact me directly via email to arrange your first session. I offer both in-person therapy in Newtown and online appointments for clients across Sydney and Australia. I’ll get back to you promptly with available times and any information you need before starting therapy.
