Dr Fiona Denton is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Pennant Hills, NSW. She works in Suite B, First Floor, 5 Hillcrest Road, Pennant Hills NSW 2120.
In her day-to-day work, Dr Denton looks after people who are dealing with things like anxiety and low mood, and the stress that can come along with it. She also helps people who want practical tools for managing day-to-day pressure, whether that pressure is work, family life, sleep issues, or just feeling overwhelmed.
Sessions are run as individual counselling. This means you can talk things through at your own pace, and build a plan that fits your situation. Dr Denton uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which is a way of understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviour link together. In many cases, this helps people spot patterns that keep things stuck, then practice small changes that can make life feel more manageable.
Alongside CBT, Dr Denton supports clients with stress management techniques. This can include strategies you can use in the moment when anxiety is high, as well as longer-term habits that help you feel steadier over time. She also includes mindfulness exercises, which can be helpful when your mind won’t switch off, or when you feel stuck in worry.
Dr Denton can also help with anxiety and depression screening. This kind of check-in can give a clearer picture of what’s going on, and it can guide what sort of support makes the most sense. If you’re not sure what you’re dealing with yet, that’s okay—sessions can start with sorting out what’s been hardest lately and what you’d like to change.
Training and professional work are focused on practical therapy skills, including assessment and evidence-based approaches used in mental health care. Over time, many clients find it easier to talk about what’s happening, then work through it in a calm, structured way without feeling rushed.
If you’re thinking about making an appointment, it can help to bring a few notes about what you want help with. Dr Denton can then talk with you about goals and what support might suit best.
