CUA Health Psychologists and Therapists in Dee Why, NSW
I understand what it’s like to feel trapped in the constant noise around food, body image, and self-worth. My own journey with an eating disorder has deeply shaped the way I practice today. I bring not only clinical expertise but genuine empathy, lived understanding, and hope that full recovery is possible.
My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, drawing from schema therapy, emotion-focused work, and body image healing. Most importantly, it’s grounded in the belief that you are not broken, your struggles are a response to unmet needs, and together, we can help you meet those needs in healthier, more empowering ways.

So, why do this now? Whether therapy is something you have tried before, something you never thought you would "need", or something you hone back towards at different junctions of your life, therapy is a challenging and rewarding process. I aim to treat our interactions with sensitivity, respect, skill and even humor, to support you to think differently, behave differently and feel differently, in order to feel more yourself. It is often our habitual patterns that lead us to become frustrated, despairing, or stuck enough to seek support, not necessarily the crises we may face.

“I am so looking forward to getting to know you as a unique individual, and working together to create the life you wish for. I believe that creating sustainable change is only possible when working with people holistically. I have always cringed at traditional, clinical styles of therapy, so instead I am committed to treating you as a real person and working together to help you live your best life. I love it when people take a proactive approach to their mental health. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t appreciate how much of a privilege it is to get to know my clients and work together with them in a meaningful way"

“Everyone has their own unique experiences and so the challenges that each person presents with is specific. Sometimes we might find it challenging to make progress with problems that arise in the present because we become reliant on our defence mechanisms that reinforce our pain. I believe when we truly feel supported and cared for, we become better equipped to explore ourselves, our inner experiences (emotions, thoughts and behaviours) and gain a clearer understanding of our individual needs and what is important.” - Sha Mazaheri
