Dr John Kearney is a Clinical Psychologist, Psychologist, and Sport Psychologist based in Kogarah, NSW. He works at 8/40 Montgomery St, Kogarah NSW 2217. For many people, seeing a psychologist is about getting a clearer head and learning skills that actually help day to day.
Dr Kearney offers support through individual therapy sessions. This can be helpful when you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or finding it hard to cope with stress. At times, life events can knock you off balance, and in other cases it’s more about patterns that have built up over time. Therapy can give you space to slow down, understand what’s going on, and make practical changes.
He also provides couples counseling. Relationships can get tense for lots of reasons, like poor communication, stress at home, or feeling unheard. In sessions, the focus is usually on helping both people feel more understood, and on working out ways to talk and problem-solve that don’t just repeat the same old cycle.
Family therapy is another part of his work. When there’s conflict, worry, or tough changes happening, it can affect everyone in different ways. Family sessions aim to help improve how people relate to each other, and to support healthier routines and safer, calmer conversations.
Sports is also part of his practice. As a Sport Psychologist, Dr Kearney looks at how your mind links with performance, confidence, and focus. That might be about handling pressure, dealing with nerves, bouncing back after a tough result, or keeping motivation steady when training gets hard.
Across all these areas, Dr Kearney uses stress management techniques as a key part of treatment. These can be simple skills you can use in the moment, not just ideas you read about. They may help you calm down, notice what your body and mind are doing, and respond in a more helpful way.
Over time, his approach is guided by his experience working with people facing real-life challenges. The goal isn’t to “fix” someone overnight. It’s more about building tools you can rely on, and finding what works best for your situation, your goals, and your pace.
