Susan Stern is a Psychologist based in Harris Park, in Sydney’s west. You can find her at 32 Albion Street, Harris Park NSW 2150. Her work is mainly about helping people feel more steady and supported, especially when life gets tough.
In sessions, Susan offers counselling and behavioural therapy. She also helps with stress management and practical coping strategies for anxiety and depression. A lot of people come in feeling worn out, stuck in worry, or not sure how to handle what they’re going through. Others may be dealing with changes at home, work stress, or patterns that keep bringing them back to the same spot.
Therapy can look different for different people. Sometimes it’s about learning to notice triggers early, and then making small changes that add up. At other times, it’s more about slowing things down, talking through what’s happening, and finding ways to cope that actually fit real life. Susan takes a calm approach, and she keeps things clear and grounded.
For many clients, anxiety can show up in everyday ways—like racing thoughts, feeling on edge, or struggling to switch off. Depression might bring low mood, low energy, or a sense of going through the motions. Susan focuses on helping clients build skills to manage these feelings better, not just push them away. Over time, that can help people feel more in control and less like their thoughts are running the show.
Susan also understands that mental health can affect relationships, sleep, and day-to-day routines. In many cases, the goal is not perfection. It’s more about getting through the week a bit easier, using tools when things flare up, and slowly building confidence. If you’re looking for a psychologist who can help you work through anxiety or depression with a practical, supportive plan, Susan Stern is there to help.
