Monica Kleinman is a counselling psychologist and psychologist based in Newtown, NSW. She works from Suite 211 at RPA Medical Centre, 100 Carillon Avenue, Newtown NSW 2042. Her sessions are focused on helping people make sense of what they’re going through, and finding practical ways to move forward.
In many cases, Monica supports clients who are dealing with stress, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in the same patterns. That can look different for different people. Sometimes it’s about day-to-day pressure building up. Other times it’s more about relationships, family life, or how things have been affecting your mood and wellbeing.
Monica offers individual therapy sessions for adults who want a calmer way to cope. Sessions can include stress management techniques and mindfulness exercises. These tools are not about “getting rid of feelings”. They’re more about learning how to notice what’s happening and respond in a steadier way.
She also works with couples through couples counselling. When communication breaks down, it can feel like you’re always talking in circles. Monica helps couples slow things down, understand where the tension is coming from, and work toward a more respectful, workable rhythm together. At times, this means looking at old stressors, new challenges, or changes that both partners are trying to handle.
For families, Monica provides family therapy. Family life can be busy, and it can bring a mix of care, frustration, and unexpected stress. In sessions, she helps families work out clearer ways to talk, handle conflict, and support each other—especially when everyone feels stretched.
Monica’s approach is grounded and down-to-earth. She focuses on what’s going on right now, but also pays attention to how things got that way over time. You won’t be pushed into being someone else, and you won’t be expected to have all the answers from day one. The goal is steady progress, at a pace that feels realistic for you.
Sessions are available in English and German, which can make it easier for people who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in either language. If you’re looking for support for stress, relationships, or family difficulties, Monica provides a space to slow down and work things through.
