Dr Fayza Al-shamali is a psychologist based in Bankstown, in Sydney’s west. She works from Civic Tower, Level 8, Suite 3, 66-72 Rickard Road, Bankstown NSW 2200.
Dr Al-shamali provides individual therapy sessions for adults and young people who want support with day-to-day stress and bigger mental health worries. In many cases, that can include feeling overwhelmed, struggling to switch off, or finding it hard to cope when life gets heavy. She also offers help when relationships are under strain, such as during tough communication patterns or ongoing conflict.
For couples, her sessions focus on practical ways to talk things through and move toward healthier patterns. The aim is to help both people feel heard, not judged, and to work out what changes might help at home. For families, she can support families going through transitions or times of stress, where everyone is affected in different ways.
Sometimes it’s the wider picture that needs attention. Dr Al-shamali also runs group therapy, which can be a useful space when you want to feel less alone and hear how others are handling similar challenges. Alongside therapy, she uses stress management techniques, which can be simple and grounded, like tools to calm your body and help you manage busy or anxious days.
Language can matter in mental health care. Dr Al-shamali speaks English and Arabic, so patients can feel more comfortable bringing their whole story.
In terms of background, education details aren’t listed here. Still, her work is based on the standard training required to practise as a psychologist and to deliver evidence-informed therapy in real life.
If you’re looking for research or clinical trial involvement, no publication or clinical trial details are listed. Her focus, instead, is on face-to-face care and practical support through therapy sessions.
Over time, therapy can help people build skills for the moments that feel hardest. With the right kind of support, many people find they can handle stress better, communicate with more care, and start making changes that last.
