Dr Amanda Maxwell is a clinical psychologist and psychologist based in Crows Nest, NSW. She works from Suite 5, Level 2, 79 Alexander Street, Crows Nest NSW 2065. If you’re looking for calm, practical support for what’s going on in your life, this is the kind of space where you can talk things through at a steady pace.
Dr Maxwell provides counselling and psychology sessions for people dealing with everyday mental health challenges. Many clients come in feeling stressed, worn down, or stuck in worry. Others want help with anxiety, changes in mood, or patterns of thinking that keep getting in the way. In many cases, the goal is not just to “feel better today”, but to build skills that help you manage things over time.
Her approach often draws on behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). That can mean looking at how thoughts, feelings, and habits link together. Then, you work through small, doable steps to change the things you can control, and to respond differently when tough moments show up. Anxiety management strategies and stress management techniques are a big part of how sessions are structured, but the pace is tailored to you.
At times, therapy can feel heavy. Dr Maxwell keeps it grounded and straightforward. You’ll get space to explain what’s been happening, and then you’ll talk about what might help next. Sessions are focused on practical coping, plus learning ways to handle stress without it taking over your day-to-day life.
In terms of education, Dr Maxwell has training in psychology and clinical practice, which supports her work in counselling and therapeutic treatment. She brings that training into sessions in a way that stays simple and human. If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay. You can begin with what you’re dealing with right now, and work from there.
No specific publications, research, or clinical trials are listed here. Still, the core of the work stays focused on evidence-informed strategies like CBT, paired with real-world support for your situation.
