Irene Apollonov is a Psychologist based in Randwick, NSW. You can find her at Suite 7, 126-128 Avoca St, Randwick NSW 2031. She works with people and families who want more clarity and more steadiness in their day-to-day life.
Irene offers individual therapy sessions, so you can focus on what’s been hardest for you. At times, people come in feeling stressed, worn out, or not sure why things keep feeling heavy. Therapy can also be useful when you want to make changes, learn better coping skills, or feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions.
She also provides couples counseling. In many relationships, it’s not just one big issue. It can be the slow build-up of miscommunication, distance, or repeated arguments. Irene helps couples have more respectful conversations and work through patterns that keep getting in the way.
If you’re navigating challenges at home, family therapy may suit. Family life can be full on, and sometimes everyone is feeling the pressure in different ways. Irene supports families to talk things through and find ways to move forward together, while still keeping each person’s needs in mind.
Along with individual, couples and family sessions, Irene runs group therapy and behavioural therapy. Group therapy can feel helpful because you’re not dealing with things alone, and you can learn from other people’s experiences. Behavioural therapy tends to focus on practical steps you can try, especially when you want to change habits or responses that are making life harder.
Irene has experience providing a range of therapy types, including group sessions, behavioural approaches, and work with individuals, couples and families. She speaks English and Russian, which can make it easier to feel understood and comfortable from the start.
