Ms Poppy I Rourke is a psychologist based in Burwood, NSW. Her practice is at Level 7, 74 Burwood Road, Burwood NSW 2134. Sessions are made for people who want steady support for their mental health, especially when things feel stressful, hard to manage, or just not settling down.
As a psychologist, Ms Rourke works with adults who are dealing with a range of everyday mental health concerns. That can include anxiety, low mood, feeling overwhelmed, and ongoing stress. In many cases, people come in because they want tools that help them cope better in day-to-day life. Other times, it’s about understanding patterns that keep getting in the way, like how thoughts affect feelings and how behaviours can make things better or worse.
Her approach includes therapy sessions, counselling, and practical stress management techniques. She also uses behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is often helpful for working through unhelpful thought loops and building new ways to respond. Over time, that can make daily life feel more manageable. Sessions are usually calm and focused on what’s happening for you right now, not on vague promises or quick fixes.
When life gets busy, sleep suffers, work pressure builds up, or relationships start to feel tense, it can be tough to know what to do next. Ms Rourke helps people slow things down and look at what’s driving their stress. From there, you can work on clear steps—things you can try between sessions, and changes you can make with support. If you’re not sure whether you need therapy or how to start, it’s still okay to book an appointment and talk it through.
Language support and other details aren’t listed here, and education and research involvement aren’t included. What is clear is that the focus stays on real support: listening first, then working with you on skills and strategies for better mental wellbeing.
