Newsha Javahery , PACFA

Newsha Javahery is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship pain. She also supports people struggling with low self-esteem, addiction, sleep problems, anger and major life changes. Newsha is based in Australia and works in English and Persian.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first, then helps clients name the patterns that cause distress. Sessions are practical and paced to what each person can handle. Small steps and clear tools are used alongside deeper emotional work.

Newsha uses a mix of talking approaches. She draws on attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape current fears and intimacy problems. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Emotionally-Focused and client-centred methods guide gentle exploration of feelings and personal values.

With five years of experience and PACFA credentialing, she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. Newsha helps people who feel stuck after loss, breakup, or major life shifts to find steady routines and clearer choices. She offers practical ways to manage panic, ADHD-related distraction, and grief alongside exploring longer-term patterns.

People who choose her often want a blend of emotional insight and concrete strategies. Newsha works with each person to set goals that feel realistic. She invites people to try modest changes and notice the impact in day-to-day life.

Therapy approaches that translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current worries about closeness and trust. Online sessions can help people notice connection patterns and practise new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it works well for anxiety, panic and sleep problems and is easy to use in live calls or messaging. Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre and creates space to be heard without judgement, which can be very helpful for grief, shame and self-esteem struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading facial cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
