Anthony Merritt is a Clinical Psychologist, Health Psychologist, and Psychologist based in Newtown, NSW. You can find the practice at Suite 211, RPA Medical Centre, 100 Carillon Avenue, Newtown NSW 2042.
Anthony offers counselling sessions and practical psychological support for people dealing with everyday life stress and ongoing mental health concerns. In many cases, this means looking at what’s driving anxiety, how stress is building up, and what gets in the way of feeling settled again.
Sessions are also a good fit for people who want help with behaviour change. That might include learning new ways to respond to tough thoughts, improving daily routines, and putting some structure around coping when things feel overwhelming. Behavioural therapy and related strategies are used to help clients make steady progress, not quick fixes.
Health psychology is part of Anthony’s work too. This includes the link between how we feel mentally and how our bodies cope. Sometimes health issues can bring stress, worry, and low mood along for the ride. At other times, ongoing pressure and anxious thinking can make symptoms feel stronger. Anthony works through these connections in a down-to-earth way, so clients can understand what’s happening and choose steps that actually help.
Over time, Anthony’s approach stays grounded and practical. The focus is on listening properly, then working together to find tools that suit the person and the situation. In sessions, clients can expect calm, clear conversations, and an emphasis on stress management and anxiety management strategies. These might be simple changes, but they can make a real difference when practised consistently.
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan. At times people come in unsure about what they need help with, or they’ve tried a few things and nothing seems to stick. That’s okay. The work often starts with getting a clear picture of what’s going on, and then building a path forward step by step.
With ongoing clinical work, Anthony builds experience through regular counselling sessions and continued support for a range of mental health concerns. If you’re looking for someone in Newtown who can help you sort through anxiety, manage stress, and work on helpful behaviour changes, Anthony Merritt may be a good place to start.
