Dr Cassandra Joslyn is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Newtown, NSW. She works out of Suite 211 at RPA Medical Centre, 100 Carillon Avenue, Newtown NSW 2042. The sessions are about helping people feel more steady and cope better with what life throws at them.
Her work often focuses on mental health concerns like anxiety and ongoing stress. In many cases, people come in because they are stuck in a loop—worrying a lot, finding it hard to switch off, or feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day pressures. She also looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviour can get tangled up together, and how small changes can make a real difference over time.
Counselling sessions are built around what you want help with. Sometimes that means learning stress management techniques you can use in the moment. Other times it’s about having a better understanding of what’s driving the stress and what keeps it going. Sessions are practical, and the goal is to help you handle tough moments with more control, not just “get through” them.
A big part of her approach uses behavioural therapy ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is about noticing patterns, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and building new ways to respond. Behavioural therapy also helps when things feel automatic—like avoiding situations, getting stuck with certain habits, or feeling stuck in fear. At times, she may help you break problems into smaller parts, so they feel less heavy and more manageable.
For some people, anxiety shows up as constant tension, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge. For others, it can look like avoiding things they used to do, or feeling like everything is harder than it should be. Dr Joslyn helps clients work through these patterns in a calm, down-to-earth way. You won’t be pushed into anything you’re not ready for, and the focus stays on what fits your life.
She also supports clients who are dealing with work stress, family pressure, or big life changes that have made things feel out of balance. The aim is simple: help you find tools you can actually use, and support you as you practice them.
