Dr Melissa Aji is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Newtown, NSW. She works out of Suite 211, RPA Medical Centre, 100 Carillon Avenue, Newtown NSW 2042.
In day to day sessions, Dr Aji helps people who are dealing with stress and worry, and who want practical ways to cope. Many clients come in because anxiety is taking over, or because work, school, family life, and everyday pressure have started to feel too much. At times, it can also be about how someone thinks, feels, and reacts, and how those patterns can keep repeating.
Her approach includes counseling sessions and behavioural therapy, with a strong focus on tools for anxiety management. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the ways she supports clients to understand what’s going on, and then try steps that make things feel more manageable. CBT can be helpful when thoughts feel stuck, when worries are hard to switch off, or when emotions start to run the show.
Stress management techniques are a big part of the work as well. That might look like learning ways to slow things down in the moment, building better coping skills over time, and finding strategies that fit real life, not just a plan on paper. The goal is usually something pretty simple: feel more in control, even if life is still busy.
Dr Aji also helps with behavioural change, especially when it feels like your routines and habits are keeping the same problem going. Over time, small shifts can matter. In many cases, clients leave sessions with clear next steps they can try, and a way to track what works and what doesn’t.
