Gemma Issaakidis is a clinical psychologist and psychologist based in Broulee, on the NSW south coast. You can find the practice at 3/40 Train Street, Broulee NSW 2537.
Gemma works with people who want practical support and a clearer way to move through tough times. Many clients come in feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or “stuck” in the same patterns. At times, that can show up as anxiety, low mood, or constant worry. Other people seek help because life at home or at work feels strained, and they need tools to cope better.
Sessions are available for individuals, couples, and families. For individuals, the focus is often on understanding what is going on, and then building skills that fit into everyday life. For couples, Gemma helps with communication, problem-solving, and finding a calmer way to handle conflict. For families, the goal is usually to improve how everyone works together, especially when routines and relationships are under pressure.
CBT (cognitive-behavioural therapy) is one of the main approaches used. That means looking closely at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can link together, and then making changes that are realistic. Alongside that, Gemma also covers stress management techniques, so clients can learn ways to steady themselves when things get too much.
Over time, the sessions tend to feel like a steady place to sort through what’s happening, without judgement. Gemma keeps things grounded and makes sure plans are not too complicated. If you have tried a few things before and they did not work, that’s okay. Sessions can adjust as you learn what does and does not help for your situation.
In terms of training, Gemma is qualified as a clinical psychologist and psychologist. Clinical experience is built through regular work with real people facing real-life challenges, from day-to-day stress to relationship and family strain.
Gemma’s website does not list any specific research projects or clinical trials at the moment. What is clear, though, is the focus on therapy that is useful, step-by-step, and tailored to what you are dealing with right now.
If you are looking for support in Broulee—whether it’s for yourself, your relationship, or your family—Gemma’s clinic offers a calm, practical starting point.
