Transform Your Patterns with a Psychologist in Bondi Junction
Evidence-based psychological support in the heart of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs
Experienced Psychologist in Bondi Junction
A Warm Welcome
I'm Sherisse Cohen, an experienced psychologist based in Bondi Junction, in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
Sometimes you know something isn't working, but changing it isn't so easy. You might be caught in patterns of overthinking, anxiety, difficult emotions, relationship problems, binge eating or behaviours you understand aren't helping — but keep finding yourself repeating.
Working with me can help you understand what's driving these patterns and develop practical strategies and skills to shift them.
My Bondi Junction psychology practice offers a calm, welcoming space in the heart of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, with telehealth appointments also available.
How I Work
My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based, drawing on therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, attachment-informed therapy, and other psychological approaches depending on what will be most useful for you.
There isn't one formula that works for everyone.
The work starts with understanding you — your patterns, your experiences, and what you'd like to change.
How I Can Help
The patterns that keep us stuck can show up in different ways — in our thoughts, emotions, relationships or the things we do to cope. As a psychologist in Bondi Junction, I help you understand what’s driving these patterns and develop practical strategies to respond differently. I can help you with:
Why Work With Me?
Over 15 Years' Experience as a Psychologist
With more than 15 years in private practice, I bring extensive experience.
Practical, Active Therapy
Therapy is more than talking about what’s wrong. We work together to understand what’s happening, identify the patterns keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies you can use in everyday life.
Understand the Why Behind Your Behaviour
Rather than simply trying to stop a behaviour, we look at what may be driving it and the role it has come to play. Understanding the why can be an important part of changing what happens next.
Strategies Beyond the Therapy Room
Greater awareness helps you notice thoughts, emotions and behaviours earlier. We then build practical psychological skills to help you respond differently when familiar patterns show up.

Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD
Sherisse offers in-person therapy sessions in two accessible locations: Bondi Junction in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, and Pitt Street in the CBD, just moments from Martin Place and Wynyard Station. Both spaces are calm, confidential, and easy to reach by public transport. For added flexibility, online telehealth sessions are also available across Australia.
-
I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, tailoring each session to suit your unique needs, goals, and experiences. My integrative style allows us to work in a way that feels both effective and comfortable for you.
Therapies I may incorporate include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Trauma-Informed Practice, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS.)
Your wellbeing is at the heart of the work we do together and you can feel confident you're supported by approaches grounded in proven psychological science.
-
I aim to make therapy as accessible and affordable as possible. As a general rule, my fees are set below the rates recommended by professional psychology bodies. If you have a referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, Medicare rebates may apply, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
If you'd like to know more about session fees, rebates, or how to get started, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help.
-
Your first session is a chance for us to understand what has brought you to therapy, what's happening in your life now and what you'd like to change.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what to say or where to start. We'll work that out together.
-
All sessions are treated as strictly private and confidential. This includes any information shared during your assessment, diagnosis, or treatment.
Confidentiality will only be broken in rare circumstances, such as when:
Your file is subpoenaed by a court of law, or
There is an immediate or serious risk of harm to yourself or another identifiable person.
Your privacy and trust are deeply respected, and any limits to confidentiality will always be clearly discussed with you.
-
I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society and registered with the NSW Psychologists’ Registration Board.
I have been in private practice for over 15 years.
My training includes an internship at a psychiatric hospital (The Sydney Clinic).
I am often invited as a keynote speaker at conferences and consult to organisations to improve the mental wellbeing of their teams.
