Michelle Sexton is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Sydney, with her practice at Suite 5 Level 1, 193 Macquarie Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
Michelle works with adults, and also helps people who are dealing with day to day stress that has started to feel like it is taking over. In many cases, sessions focus on anxiety, low mood, worry that won’t switch off, and patterns of thinking that can keep things stuck. She also supports clients who want practical ways to manage pressure at work, in relationships, or during busy life changes.
What you’ll find in the room is steady, down to earth support. Michelle uses counselling and evidence based talking therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is often helpful when someone wants to understand how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect, and how small changes can make a real difference over time.
Sessions can also include behavioural therapy strategies and stress management techniques. At times, that might mean learning tools for when you feel overwhelmed, or working on habits that affect sleep, motivation, or confidence. The goal is usually not just to feel better in the short term, but to build skills you can keep using when life gets tricky again.
Michelle’s training is in clinical psychology and psychology. She brings a calm approach and helps clients feel understood, without judgement. There’s usually room to talk about what is going on, what has been hard, and what you want to be different.
Over time, Michelle helps people practise new ways of coping. This can include anxiety management strategies, goal setting that fits real life, and plans for how to respond when old patterns come back. You won’t be pushed to do anything you’re not ready for, and the pace is set with what matters to you.
No specific research projects or clinical trial work are listed for Michelle at this time. If that is something you are hoping for, it is always worth asking directly when you book, so you can see what options are available.
For people in Sydney looking for therapy that feels practical and grounded, Michelle Sexton is a good place to start.
