Dr Georgina Barnes is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Earlwood, in Sydney’s inner west. You can find the practice at 24 Clarke Street, Earlwood NSW 2206.
In day to day work, Dr Barnes helps people sort through tough times and tangled thoughts. That might look like stress that won’t switch off, low mood, worry that keeps coming back, or feeling stuck in the same patterns. At times, it can also be about relationships, family stress, or life changes that are hard to manage.
Sessions are available for individuals, couples, and families. Individual therapy sessions can give you space to talk things through, understand what’s driving how you feel, and work out practical ways to cope. Couples therapy sessions focus on communication, conflict, and rebuilding a better way of relating. Family therapy sessions are useful when the whole household is feeling the strain, and things need a calmer, clearer path forward.
CBT is a big part of the work. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In many cases, it helps people notice unhelpful thinking habits and then test out new responses, step by step. It’s not about pretending life is easy. It’s more about learning tools you can actually use between appointments.
Dr Barnes also offers mental health assessments. These are often the first step when you’re not sure what’s going on, or when you want a clearer picture of what support fits best. Assessments can help bring things into focus, so you and the therapist can make a plan that feels realistic and workable.
People come for help at different stages. Some are looking for support over a short period to get through a rough patch. Others want longer term therapy to build lasting change. Either way, the aim is to keep things grounded and respectful, and to make sure the sessions fit your situation, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If you’re in Earlwood or nearby and want to talk about what’s been going on, Dr Georgina Barnes is available for individual therapy sessions, couples therapy sessions, and family therapy sessions, including CBT, plus mental health assessments.
