Mood & Depression Sydney CBD - Bondi Junction
Improve Your Mood With a Highly Rated Bondi Junction Psychologist
Feeling low, flat, or like the joy has drained out of life can be exhausting. Depression and mood struggles can make even small things feel heavy — getting out of bed, making decisions, staying connected to people you love.
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. At TheSelfSpace, Sherisse, your Mood & Depression Psychologist in Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD, provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you feel lighter, more motivated, and more like yourself again.
How I Can Help
I work with people experiencing:
Ongoing low mood or sadness that doesn’t lift
Loss of motivation or interest in things you used to enjoy
Feeling numb, empty or hopeless
Tearfulness, irritability, mood swings
Sleep or appetite changes
Struggling to keep up with work, study or relationships
Postpartum or perinatal mood changes
Life transitions that have triggered depression or anxiety
My approach combines compassionate listening with proven psychological therapies such as:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – shifting unhelpful thinking patterns
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – helping you move forward even when life feels heavy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills – regulating strong emotions and building resilience
Mindfulness and self-compassion practices – reducing self-criticism and shame
What It’s Like to Work With Me
I know depression can make it hard to reach out — so I’ve designed the process to be as easy and welcoming as possible.
Once you book, you’ll get a friendly welcome pack with everything you need to know: how sessions work, where to come (or how to join online), and tips for getting started.
Your first session is a gentle conversation — no pressure, no judgment — just understanding what’s going on for you and what you’d like life to look like instead.
How Therapy Helps with Depression
Understand what’s happening — depression is not weakness; it’s a sign that something needs care.
Learn tools to lift your mood — evidence-based strategies to manage negative thoughts, rebuild energy and reconnect with what matters.
Feel supported and less alone — a safe space where you’re understood and encouraged.
Prevent relapse — build skills and habits that support long-term mental health.
Many people tell me that after just a few sessions, they feel clearer, lighter and more hopeful about the future.
