Sunali Lewis
Psychologist, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Pennant Hills, NSW 2120
Therapy is often sought when life's discomfort exceeds our coping strategies, and can be a powerful tool for growth and healing. A safe and supportive space to explore our patterns of thought, emotion, and behaviour, can lead us to know ourselves more fully, and live more intentionally and less reactively. I love meeting people at the point in their life when they are ready for change, whether through insight, skills development, or trauma processing. I work with clients to draw the map between where they are now and where they want to be, and together we plan out what therapeutic work can help us to get there.

I'm a firm believer that everyone could benefit from seeing a psychologist. We may not think twice about seeing GPs, physios, optometrists etc, all of which are important. But so is our psychological and emotional health. Whether you are facing a mental illness, going through a tough season of life, or wanting to learn how to optimise your relationships, please reach out. It is a privilege to be invited into your personal world so that you can be truly heard and seen. Therapy can help you gain insight and make changes that perhaps have been too hard to face until now. All of this will be at your own pace and questions are welcome.

Holding it together on the outside while feeling unsettled underneath may be hard to put into words. Perhaps you’ve carried this quiet sense for as long as you can remember. The way others perceive you may feel very different from how you experience yourself, leaving you unsure how to make sense of what’s happening within. You may find yourself feeling lonely or disconnected, even when others are around. Over time, this can show up as anxiety or emotional exhaustion, difficulty relaxing, being constantly on alert, struggling in relationships, or feeling stuck.
