Catherine Ephraums is a clinical psychologist and psychologist who works in Burwood, NSW. You can find her practice at Level 7, 74 Burwood Road, Burwood NSW 2134.
In sessions, Catherine focuses on real life stuff. That can include stress, anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck in patterns that don’t help anymore. Therapy is often about getting clearer on what’s going on, and then taking practical steps to make things feel more manageable day to day. In many cases, that means learning tools you can use outside the appointment, not just while you’re there.
Catherine provides individual therapy sessions for people of all ages who want support with their mental wellbeing. She also offers couples counselling for relationship issues, like poor communication, growing distance, trust worries, or conflict that keeps coming back. Family therapy is available too, when family dynamics are affecting day-to-day life at home.
A big part of Catherine’s work uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviour can link together. Sometimes a situation triggers a thought, the thought fuels worry or anger, and then the behaviour follows in a way that makes things harder. Catherine helps people notice those loops, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build better responses. Along the way, she also teaches anxiety management techniques, which can be useful when your body feels on high alert or your mind won’t switch off.
Sessions are usually paced and straightforward. Catherine aims to create a space where you can speak freely, feel heard, and work out what you want to change. At times it can feel confronting, but the goal stays simple: better coping, more control, and fewer days where things feel too much. If you’re not sure what support you need, starting with an initial conversation can help you work out the best next step.
