Hello, my name is Katherine Sayer-Jones, and I'm a clinical psychologist that knows starting therapy can feel daunting. I take a warm and open-minded approach to help you get to know yourself better with a sense of humour and honesty. I support people with issues around women's issues, anxiety, depression, body image and weight concerns, sleep issues, relationship stress, trauma, ADHD (diagnosed or questioning), perfectionism, burnout, PMDD, endometriosis, and PCOS. Therapy with me focuses on helping you work out what is making you feel stuck and make choices that align with what a meaningful life looks like for you individually.

I work with perinatal clients, including expectant and new mums, alongside children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, parenting stress and emotional regulation challenges. Clients often come to therapy feeling stuck, emotionally drained or unsure how to manage ongoing stress. I offer supportive, evidence-based telehealth therapy tailored to each client’s needs. I help clients develop practical coping strategies, improve emotional wellbeing and feel more confident managing life’s challenges in a safe and supportive environment.

I draw on depth psychology, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy and existential approaches, weaving them together based on what you need.
Hi, I'm Curtis, a psychologist and psychotherapist working from the Blue Mountains, in-person and online. Often the things that bring us to therapy are the very things we've spent years trying to outrun. Sometimes it's a crisis. Sometimes just a quiet sense that something isn't working. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that what you're experiencing makes sense, and that real change is possible. My approach is integrative and holistic. I work with you as a whole person, your inner world, your body, your relationships, your sense of meaning and identity. I target core issues, rather than treating a set of symptoms.

Maybe you're questioning - Am I coping or burning out? Is this anxiety? Why do I feel flat? Could I be neurodivergent? Why am I feeling lost in my relationship, career, or role as a mother or carer?

My doctoral research focused on identity as shaped through family narratives and intergenerational trauma, and how this can develop into anxiety and depression.
Hi, I'm Sophie, I aim to offer a warm and supportive therapeutic space. I am a clinically trained psychologist with 8 years of therapy experience, and a Masters+PhD in Clinical Psychology. I hope to create a welcoming therapy space, to work with whatever difficulties you are experiencing. I have a special interest in working with people experiencing anxiety and distress related to past trauma/difficult experiences. I also find psychotherapy for self/identity exploration and diverse genders and sexuality (LGBTQI+) really rewarding.
