Farzana Rita is a psychologist based in Hurstville, NSW. She works from Suite 262A, Level 6, 7-11 The Avenue, Hurstville NSW 2220. If you’re looking for calm, practical support, Farzana offers counselling sessions that help you make sense of what’s going on and find ways to cope.
Her sessions focus on talking therapy and behaviour-based support. That can be helpful for people dealing with stress, feeling overwhelmed, low mood, or worry that won’t switch off. Over time, many people also find it useful when they’re trying to change patterns that keep getting in the way—like how you respond to difficult situations, or how your thoughts can start to loop.
In the practice, you can expect emotional support sessions that feel grounded and respectful. Farzana also uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is often used to look at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, then slowly work out different, healthier ways to respond. It’s not about forcing positivity. It’s more about learning what helps, what doesn’t, and building a plan that fits your real life.
Stress management techniques are another big part of the work. At times, stress can show up in your body, your sleep, your focus, and your relationships. Farzana helps people spot early signs, and then figure out small steps that can reduce the pressure day to day. Even when things feel messy, having a few solid strategies can make a difference.
Farzana understands that everyone’s background is different. She provides sessions in English and Bengali, which can help people feel more comfortable and understood from the start. Language can matter a lot when you’re sharing something personal, so she keeps things clear and lets you set the pace.
She also looks at how behaviours can be shaped and changed with practice. In many cases, behavioural therapy can support people who want help with habits, reactions, and routines—especially when emotions are running the show. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.
If you’re considering therapy, it can help to know that sessions are built around your needs. Some people want support for day-to-day stress. Others are working through longer-lasting challenges. Either way, Farzana Rita’s approach stays practical, kind, and focused on what you can do next.
