Ilona Gaudin is a psychologist based in Alexandria, NSW. You can find the practice at 23 Buckland Street, Alexandria NSW 2015. Sessions are offered as counselling and behaviour focused support, with a calm, practical approach.
Ilona works with people who want help sorting through day to day stress and how it affects their mood, sleep, relationships and overall wellbeing. In many cases, anxiety, low mood, or feeling stuck can build up over time. The goal is to make sense of what is happening, then build small steps that feel doable in real life.
Support may include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and counselling sessions, depending on what you need most. CBT can help you notice patterns in thoughts and behaviours, and then try changes that support healthier coping. Behavioural therapy also looks at what’s going on day to day, like routines, triggers and habits, so you can feel more in control.
Stress management is a big part of the work. Sessions can cover simple stress tools and strategies, so you’re not left trying to handle everything on your own. Mindfulness training may also be used, especially when it helps you slow down, focus on the present, and feel steadier in busy moments.
People come in with lots of different concerns, and treatment can vary from person to person. Sometimes it’s about learning skills. Other times it’s about having space to talk, think things through, and get clarity on what to do next. The work stays grounded and tailored, rather than using one approach for everyone.
Education details and any published research or clinical trial involvement are not listed here, so the best way to find out what will be covered in sessions is to ask at the appointment booking stage. If you’d like, you can also share what you’re hoping to change or manage, and Ilona can help guide the plan from there.
