Nafisa Choudhury is a psychologist based in Bankstown, NSW, working out of the Civic Tower at Level 8, Suite 3, 66-72 Rickard Road. She provides counselling and support for people who want a calmer, more steady way of dealing with what life throws at them.
Nafisa’s work often focuses on mental health assessments, plus practical talking therapy. If you’re feeling stressed for a long time, stuck in unhelpful thought loops, or finding it hard to cope day to day, she can help you sort out what’s going on and map out next steps. In many cases, therapy is also about building skills you can use outside the appointment, not just during it.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches used in her sessions. CBT is a way of looking at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviour can link together. At times, that might mean learning ways to manage anxiety, shift negative thinking, or reduce the cycle that keeps you feeling overwhelmed. Behavioural therapy and stress management techniques also play a part, especially when you want more structure and tools for everyday situations.
Sessions are for people at different stages of life. Some clients are dealing with day-to-day stress, while others are trying to work through longer-term mental health concerns. Nafisa helps clients understand their patterns, then gradually work toward changes that feel realistic. The goal is usually not to “fix everything overnight”, but to make things more manageable week by week.
Language can matter in mental health care. Nafisa works in English and Bengali, so you can get support in the language that feels most comfortable. This can help when you’re trying to explain what you’re going through, or when you want to feel clear and understood.
If you’re not sure where to start, a mental health assessment can be a good first step. It gives space to talk about your concerns and work out what support could help most. Over time, counselling can support better coping, stronger habits, and a better understanding of what triggers stress and how you might respond differently.
Nafisa is available for counselling sessions in Bankstown. If you’re looking for a grounded, practical approach to mental health, you can book an appointment at her clinic in Civic Tower.
