Sophie Ballinger is a clinical psychologist and psychologist based in Mosman, NSW. You’ll find her practice at Suite 1, Level 1, 44 Avenue Road, Mosman NSW 2088. Sophie works with people who want clear support, not just advice. Sessions are grounded and practical, with a focus on helping you make sense of what’s going on and what to do next.
Sophie offers individual therapy sessions for adults, plus couples counselling and family therapy. At times, things can feel stuck—like anxiety is hanging around, thoughts keep looping, or relationships get tense. In many cases, small changes in how you think and respond can make a real difference, and that’s where therapy can help.
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, is a big part of Sophie’s approach. CBT is about connecting your thoughts, feelings, and actions. The aim isn’t to “fix” you or judge you. It’s more about spotting patterns and building better ways to cope in everyday life. This might include learning tools for anxiety management, finding ways to calm your mind, and working out what triggers stress so you can respond differently.
If you’re coming in as an individual, Sophie helps you talk through what you’re dealing with and then work toward goals that feel realistic. If you’re coming with your partner, the sessions can focus on communication, conflict patterns, and rebuilding a sense of safety and teamwork. For families, the focus is often on improving how people relate at home, especially when worries and stress start to spill over into day-to-day life.
Many people like the way Sophie keeps sessions steady and down-to-earth. You can expect a calm space where you can be honest about what’s hard. Over time, therapy can help you feel more in control, sleep a bit better, handle tough moments with less panic, and have more helpful conversations with the people you care about.
Sophie is a local Mosman clinician and welcomes clients who want support with anxiety and related concerns, whether that’s for yourself, your relationship, or your family. Appointments are available for individual therapy sessions, couples counselling, and family therapy, with CBT and anxiety management approaches used along the way.
