Serves Area
I’m honoured to have been recognised as one of the top 3 therapists in Sydney in 2025, serving as the principal therapist specialising in relationship therapy. With over 20 years of experience working with diverse cultures, I strive to provide compassionate support to couples. We all lose our way at times and may need support to get back on track and reignite our relationship, no matter how long or short you have been together. My aim is not for you to keep coming to me but to empower you to develop skills—such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection—so you can navigate life independently.

Eunjee Jung
Counsellor, PACFA
Serves Area
You may look like you’re doing fine on the outside, holding things together at work, fulfilling family expectations, showing up when needed but on the inside, you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not yourself. Maybe you’ve withdrawn from relationships, lost interest in things you used to enjoy, or feel constantly weighed down by worries you can’t switch off. Perhaps you’re exhausted from always trying to meet others’ needs, while struggling to express your own. I work with young people and adults who are silently carrying a lot. Some are dealing with anxiety rooted in overthinking, uncertainty, and self-criticism.

North Parramatta, NSW 2151
If you've found your way here, something in your life is asking for change. Maybe it's the weight of experiences you've never quite been able to set down. Maybe it's a pattern that keeps repeating no matter how hard you try to outthink it. Maybe it's the quieter ache of feeling far from who you used to be. The people I see are often capable, thoughtful, and quietly tired of carrying it alone. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to you — grounded in the belief that you are not a problem to be fixed.

Freya Smee Counselling & Psychotherapy
Psychotherapist, MA, PACFA
3 Endorsed
Serves Area
Hi, I’m Freya. I work with couples and individuals, with a focus on relationships as central to wellbeing. Drawing on evidence-based Gottman Method and EFT couples therapy principles, I support couples and individuals to strengthen connection, communicate with clarity, and move through conflict more effectively. Clinical training underpins my practice, but motherhood, three children, long term relationships, grief, and unplanned detours have given me wisdom. I’ve learned that hardship is universal, what matters is building the kind of support, both internal and relational, that lets us move through it with honesty and grace.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behaviour and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behaviour has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.

How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.

What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.

Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
