Pia Malouf is a Psychologist based in Newtown, NSW, working from Suite 207, 1 Erskineville Road, Newtown NSW 2042. She offers regular counselling sessions for people who want support with day-to-day stress and the way anxiety can take over.
In her sessions, Pia focuses on practical ways to help you feel more steady. That might mean working through anxiety management strategies, learning stress management techniques, or trying cognitive-behavioural therapy to make things a bit more manageable. At times, it can be the small changes that help the most, especially when life feels busy or things have been building up for a while.
Pia also uses behavioural therapy strategies. This often involves looking at patterns—how certain thoughts, feelings, and actions can link together. When you can spot those patterns, you can start to choose responses that feel better for you. In many cases, people come in wanting relief from worry, tension, or nervousness. Others want help coping with harder moments, burnout, or feeling worn down.
She understands that every person’s situation is different. Some people know exactly what they want help with. Others are still working it out. Either way, the goal stays the same: to help you build skills you can use in real life, not just in the appointment room.
Over time, Pia has worked with clients through counselling and therapy that targets anxiety and stress. She brings a calm, grounded approach, and she keeps sessions focused on what’s useful right now. If you’re dealing with anxious thoughts, feeling overwhelmed, or finding it hard to switch off, you can discuss what’s happening and how you’d like things to change.
Training in psychology supports her work, with a strong base in therapies that help people understand how their mind and behaviour interact. Her focus on cognitive-behavioural therapy and behavioural therapy means she often turns concepts into steps you can try between sessions.
Research and clinical trials aren’t listed here, but the sessions you attend are built around evidence-based methods like CBT, anxiety support, and stress tools.
