Fiona Halliday is a psychologist based in Double Bay, working from 377 New South Head Rd, Double Bay NSW 2028. She offers counselling for individuals, couples, and families, with a focus on getting things back on track in everyday life.
Fiona’s sessions suit people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same patterns over and over. That might look like feeling anxious, stressed, or low for longer than you want. At times it can also show up in how you cope day to day, how you talk with others, or how a family moves through hard moments.
Her therapy style is practical and structured, using behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help clients understand what’s driving their reactions. The goal is not just to “talk it out”, but to build changes that you can actually use outside the room. In many cases, that means spotting unhelpful thought loops, linking them to feelings and actions, and then trying new ways of responding.
For individuals, Fiona works on things like coping skills, routines, and problem-solving. She helps you slow things down enough to see what is happening, and then choose a better next step. Even small changes can make a big difference, especially when life feels busy or tiring.
For couples, sessions focus on communication, rebuilding trust, and finding ways to handle conflict without both people getting pulled under. Fiona helps couples slow down their conversations, sort out misunderstandings, and work toward practical agreements that fit real life, not just good intentions.
Family therapy is also available, which can be helpful when the same tensions keep coming back. In these sessions, Fiona looks at the bigger picture, including how everyone’s needs and roles affect the home atmosphere. The aim is to improve support inside the family and make it easier to talk things through.
Fiona keeps sessions grounded and respectful. You can expect clear discussion, gentle structure, and time to explore what’s going on. Over time, the work is about building stronger habits and helping you feel more in control again.
