Thomas O'Neill is a psychologist based in Edgecliff, in Sydney. You can find the practice at Level 5, Edgecliff Centre, 203 New South Head Road, Edgecliff NSW 2027.
Thomas provides counselling for people going through a range of mental health and life challenges. That can include times when stress feels too heavy, worries won’t settle, or relationships are starting to feel strained. In many cases, therapy helps people slow things down, understand what’s been happening, and work out practical ways to cope.
Sessions are available for individual therapy, and Thomas also offers couples counselling. For some families, family therapy can be a helpful step, especially when patterns have built up over time and everyone is feeling stuck. Group therapy is another option for people who like support with others in a structured setting.
A big part of the work uses cognitive-behavioural therapy, or CBT. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be useful when you notice a loop, like when a thought sparks anxiety, then that anxiety leads to certain behaviours, and the cycle keeps going. Over time, CBT aims to help you spot those loops earlier and choose different responses.
What you can expect from the sessions is a steady, down-to-earth approach. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes or judging anyone’s past. Instead, the goal is usually to build clarity and make room for change, step by step. At times, that might mean talking through what’s been happening and why it matters. Other times, it might mean working on small actions you can try between sessions.
In this profile, specific details about experience, education, research, and any clinical trials aren’t listed.

The main thing is that the service offered here is built around individual support, relationship work, family counselling, group therapy, and CBT-based strategies.
