Tom Xia is a psychologist based in Alexandria, NSW. He works from 23 Buckland Street, Alexandria NSW 2015. Sessions are available in English and Chinese (Mandarin), which can help if you prefer to talk things through in your first language.
Tom offers individual therapy sessions, plus support for couples and families. Many people come in because life feels a bit too full at the moment. It might be ongoing stress, changes at home, or worries that keep looping in your head. In many cases, therapy helps you slow things down, sort what’s going on, and work out what you can do next.
For couples, therapy can focus on day-to-day problems like communication, misunderstandings, and feeling stuck in the same patterns. For families, it’s often about making things calmer and more workable, especially when routines change or tensions build. And for individuals, sessions can be a safe place to talk about what you’re carrying and how it affects your mood, sleep, work, and relationships.
Tom also includes stress management techniques as part of the work. That might look like learning practical ways to cope in the moment, plus figuring out what keeps stress going in the first place. Over time, people often find they’re better able to notice their triggers, respond with a bit more control, and make small changes that add up.
Some details about education, work history, research, and clinical trials aren’t listed here. What is clear is the type of support on offer: individual therapy, couples counselling, family therapy, and stress-focused strategies. If you’re unsure what kind of appointment fits you best, it can help to start with what you want to get better at and what feels hardest right now.
