Dr Amy Datyner is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Westmead, NSW. You can find the practice at Suite 301, Level 3, The Specialist Medical Centre, 151 Hawkesbury Road, Westmead NSW 2145.
Dr Datyner works with adults and couples who want practical support for day-to-day mental health. Many people come in when stress has built up for weeks or months, when anxiety or worry feels hard to switch off, or when mood is low and things just don’t feel as manageable as they used to. In other cases, the main issue is relationship strain, like ongoing arguments, poor communication, or both partners feeling stuck.
The sessions are calm and focused, with a mix of individual therapy, couples therapy, and group therapy. Dr Datyner also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is a structured, skills-based approach. It helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviours, then slowly build better ways to cope. At times, the work is about making small changes that add up, rather than trying to fix everything at once.
Stress management is another big part of the care. That can include learning simple techniques to handle tough moments, understanding what triggers stress, and putting in place strategies that feel realistic in everyday life. Over time, many clients feel more in control, and less like they’re being pushed around by how they feel.
For couples, the goal is usually clearer. It’s about understanding how problems show up between two people, then finding tools to talk differently and respond with more patience. Many couples find it helps to slow things down, get on the same page, and create a plan they can both stick with.
Dr Datyner also offers group therapy. Some people like the extra support and the sense that they’re not the only ones going through something similar. Group sessions can be a steady place to learn, practise, and reflect alongside others.
