Sylvana Mizzi is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in North St Marys, NSW. You can find the practice at 3/9 Kurrajong Road, North St Marys NSW 2760. Sessions are set up for people who want steady, practical support and a plan they can actually use in real life.
In day-to-day work, Sylvana helps adults and people of different ages who are dealing with emotional and mental health stress. That might look like feeling overwhelmed, carrying ongoing worry, or finding it hard to cope with changes at home or work. At times, people also come in because they want tools for managing tough thoughts and stronger emotions, rather than just “getting through” the week.
Sylvana offers counselling sessions and uses evidence-based approaches like behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT can be a good fit when you want to understand the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and then slowly make things easier to manage. Behavioural therapy helps with practical steps too, especially when habits and patterns are keeping things stuck.
Stress management is a big part of the work. Sessions may include learning stress management techniques and figuring out what triggers you, and what helps you recover. In many cases, it’s not about having zero stress. It’s more about building skills so stress doesn’t take over your whole day.
Support groups are also part of her service. Some people do better when they can hear from others who are dealing with similar issues. It can feel less lonely, and you can pick up coping ideas that make sense for your own life.
Sylvana’s focus stays on the things that matter for you, not just the problem label. Over time, therapy is usually about building understanding, then turning that into workable steps. Sometimes that means changing how you respond to a situation. Other times it’s about putting supports in place and learning what to do when things get hard again.
Education, research and clinical trial details aren’t listed here, but the work centres on common, well-used psychological methods and ongoing practical support. If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay. Many people start with one main concern, and the sessions help shape what support looks like next.
