An Experienced Psychologist Bondi Junction and Sydney
Welcome
Hi, I’m Sherisse Cohen, a registered psychologist based in Bondi Junction with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life’s complex challenges. I live and work in Sydney, bringing a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
My work focuses on helping clients understand how their patterns—especially around anxiety, mood, body image, emotional eating and bulimia—shape their experiences and relationships. By exploring these patterns, we can create safety, resilience, and wellbeing in both your inner and outer world.
Having supported hundreds of clients across private practice and workplaces, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of this work firsthand. I draw on a broad range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness Frameworks to tailor therapy that fits your unique needs.
I’m deeply committed to ongoing professional growth and have trained extensively in trauma-informed and somatic approaches to psychology. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
Before becoming a psychologist, I studied at the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of South Africa (UNISA), completing my clinical internship at The Sydney Clinic. Today, I blend my clinical expertise with a genuine curiosity and warmth that fosters real, lasting change.
My Approach- Finding What Works For You
My approach is practical and grounded in evidence-based therapies, but also deeply human. I focus on building real, usable tools to help you manage what’s happening now, while also making space to explore where you've been. By connecting the dots between your past and present, we can begin to shift what’s no longer serving you—and open up space for something new to emerge.
I feel genuinely privileged to walk alongside people in their journeys of growth and transformation. It’s a process I approach with care, curiosity, and deep respect.
My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I bring my full self into the room—including a sense of humour and a strong belief in your capacity for insight and change.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honoured to support you on your path forward.

Support from a Trusted Bondi Junction Psychologist Near Me
At my Sydney psychology clinic, I’m here to support you, whether you’re facing a challenging moment or navigating ongoing struggles. During therapy with me, Sherisse, a psychologist based in Bondi Junction, we’ll draw from a range of approaches, tailored to your needs:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): A practical, goal-focused approach that helps you notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is especially effective for managing anxiety, depression, and self-doubt—empowering you to build more balanced and constructive ways of thinking.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): A powerful blend of acceptance and change. DBT helps you manage overwhelming emotions and teaches skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation—so you feel more in control, even when life feels intense.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps you build psychological flexibility by learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings, while still moving toward the things that truly matter to you. It’s about values-based living, even in the face of discomfort.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS offers a gentle, compassionate way to explore the different "parts" of yourself, especially the ones that may feel in conflict. It’s a powerful approach for healing past wounds and developing a deeper sense of inner harmony.
Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques: Sometimes, the simplest tools make the biggest difference. Mindfulness practices can help you reconnect with the present moment, reduce stress, and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.
Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that feels supportive, effective, and aligned with who you are—and where you want to go.
