Shabrina Khanam is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Austral NSW. You can find her practice at Shop 15, 255 Edmondson Ave, Austral NSW 2179. She works with people who want a calmer headspace and practical ways to handle day-to-day stress.
Shabrina provides therapy for individuals, couples, and families. Sessions can help when things feel stuck, when emotions are running high, or when communication is not going the way you hoped. In many cases, therapy is also a space to work out what is driving the worry, conflict, or overwhelm, and then make small changes that actually fit real life.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a big part of her approach. CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours link together. It’s not about blaming yourself. It’s more about noticing patterns and building skills you can use between appointments, not just while you’re in the room.
She also offers stress management counselling. That can be helpful if you’re dealing with work pressure, family demands, sleep problems, or constant “on edge” feelings. At times, stress can show up in the body as well as the mind, so she helps people slow things down and feel more in control.
For couples, therapy can support better communication and help you work through the hard topics without it turning into the same fight over and over. For families, sessions can bring some structure when everyone is dealing with different needs and emotions. The goal is usually simple: less tension, more understanding, and clearer ways to move forward together.
Shabrina’s clinical work is based on her psychology training, including CBT. The aim is to keep things grounded and useful. Sessions are steady and respectful, with space to talk openly about what’s happening, what you’ve tried already, and what might help next.
Language can matter in therapy, and Shabrina speaks English and Bengali. That way, you can feel more comfortable explaining yourself and getting your point across without having to “translate” your feelings.
If you’re looking for individual therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy in Austral, Shabrina Khanam can help you start with where you are right now and build from there, step by step.
