New Vision Psychology

New Vision Psychology New Vision Psychology is an inclusive private practice providing an extensive range of psychological services. Get in touch today 💚

We have more than 30 psychologists speaking 10+ languages across 5 clinics in Sydney. New Vision Psychology is a clinical private practice based in Sydney’s CBD, with clinics in Martin Place, Burwood, Chatswood and Hurstville. As one of Sydney’s most inclusive psychology practices, we provide a comprehensive range of services by 24 practitioners in 10 languages. Our team of mental health practitioners treat children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. We work collaboratively with our clients to provide the perfect fit for their specific needs. Established in 2009, Directors Danni Zhang and Johan Crouch were driven by their desire to make a difference in private practice. As seasoned practitioners in the industry, they noticed a few problems – some psychology practices were cold and impersonal, others were selective with who they chose to take on, and many had long and indefinite wait times. People trying to seek help often felt out of place, uncomfortable and weren’t treated equally. They found this unacceptable for an industry based on trust and human connection. This is when they set out to create a place that was inclusive, respectful and welcoming for everyone. New Vision Psychology opened its first practice in Chatswood and has been steadily evolving and expanding since. Our Hurstville clinic opened in 2015, followed by the city branch in 2019 and Burwood in 2021. We are a commissioned partner with the Sydney North Health Network, a Primary Health Network (PHN) established by the government. We are also an NDIS registered provider and our many of our psychologists are registered with the SIRA to provide services for Workcover. We are the official EAP partner of China Everbright Bank and also provide EAP services for organisations across Sydney. Languages:
English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Maltese, Hebrew, Telugu and Shanghainese

Our clinical interventions include:
Counselling (child, adolescent, adult, relationship, family),assessment and diagnosis of mental health conditions, cognitive assessments, Autism treatment and diagnosis, creating treatment plans, collaborating with carers, court reports, migration & legal issues/reports, NDIS registered provider, EAP counselling, school visits, home visits and telehealth counselling.

Starting a mental health conversation can feel uncomfortable, but sometimes, it’s exactly what someone needs to feel seen, heard, and supported 💚

Here’s how to approach it mindfully:

🌿 Choose the right moment
Find a calm, private space where you both feel safe. Timing matters, they’ll open up when they feel ready.

💭 Ask open questions
Instead of “You’re okay, right?”, try “How have you been feeling lately?” Open questions invite honesty.

👂 Listen without trying to fix
You don’t need to have the perfect response. Just being present and listening with empathy goes a long way.

💚 Validate their experience
Simple phrases like “That sounds really hard” or “I’m here for you” can make a world of difference.

🌼 Encourage support
If they’re struggling, gently suggest professional help. Offer to help them find resources or book an appointment.

🌙 Check in again
A single conversation isn’t always enough. Follow up with a quick message - “I’ve been thinking of you.”
Consistency builds trust and shows you care.

💫 You don’t need to say the perfect thing, you just need to care. Every small act of compassion matters 🌿

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Reach out to a psychologist at New Vision Psychology today 💚

We often find it easier to be kind to others, but how often do you extend that same kindness to yourself? 💚

Self-kindness is one of the most powerful tools for emotional health.
It helps regulate stress, calm the inner critic, and build resilience over time 🌿

Try this:
💭 When you catch a harsh thought, pause and ask:
“Would I say this to a friend?”
If not, take a breath, soften the tone, and try again.

Self-kindness isn’t about ignoring mistakes, it’s about recognising that growth and imperfection can coexist.

Be kind to your mind today and every day.

After her breakup, Lily felt lost - caught between wanting closure and not knowing how to move forward.
Days blurred together. Sleep was hard. Even simple tasks felt heavy.

But when she reached out for help, everything started to shift...

Through therapy, Lily began to:
💭 Process her grief and understand what really happened
🤝 Rebuild her confidence and reconnect with others
🧘‍♀️ Practise mindfulness and find calm in the present
📖 Challenge unhelpful thoughts that kept her stuck
🌿 Re-engage with life, one small step at a time

Healing didn’t happen overnight, but with compassion, guidance, and support, Lily started to find herself again 💚

This Movember, we’re shining a light on men’s mental health 🖤

Men are often taught to stay strong, stay silent, and “get on with it”. But bottling things up can take a real toll on mental and physical wellbeing.

Checking in with yourself doesn’t make you weak, it’s an act of strength. Whether it’s stress, burnout, low mood, or feeling disconnected, support is available and effective.

Start small:
💬 Talk to a friend or colleague
🧠 Book a mental health check-in
💚 Do one thing that grounds you

Real strength is self-awareness.
Real courage is reaching out.

Today is World Mental Health Day 💙

Stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to seeking support. While 1 in 5 Australians experience a mental illness each year, too many still suffer in silence because of fear, shame, or judgement.

Mental health stigma shows up in how we speak, what we assume, and how society responds to those struggling. And while it can feel overwhelming, each of us has a role in challenging it.

📌 Here's how to help:
• Use respectful, people-first language
• Learn the facts - mental illness is not a weakness
• Speak up when you hear myths or stereotypes
• Support others to seek help - without shame

💡 Reminder: mental health is just as important as physical health.
💛 Let's create a culture where everyone feels safe to ask for help.

Social anxiety isn’t just nervousness or being "socially awkward."
It’s a persistent fear of judgment, rejection, or embarrassment that can make daily life feel overwhelming.

You might:
– Rehearse every sentence before you speak
– Overthink a short conversation for hours
– Avoid situations you actually wish you could enjoy

Here’s what a lot of people don’t realise:
🧠 Social anxiety is treatable.
With the right tools and support, you can stop avoiding life and start participating in it, at your pace, in your way.

At New Vision Psychology, our psychologists use evidence-based therapies like CBT, mindfulness and exposure work to help clients manage and move beyond social anxiety.

💚 You don’t have to wait for it to get worse. Support is available and you deserve it.

September 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day.
An important reminder that even one conversation can change, or save a life.

Su***de is complex, but never random.
It’s often the result of a buildup of overwhelming pain, trauma, or hopelessness.
And while it’s not always obvious, many people do show signs that they’re struggling.

If you notice someone:
– Expressing feelings of worthlessness
– Withdrawing from activities or people
– Talking about death or disappearing
– Giving away meaningful items
– Showing sudden calm after a long period of distress

Please don’t ignore it. Ask. Stay. Support.

And if you’re the one struggling:
You are not weak. You are not broken. You are not alone.
Support is available and it works.

Spring isn’t just a shift in the weather, it’s a psychological reset.
Longer days, warmer light, and fresh routines can have a powerful effect on your mind.

Here’s why each action on this checklist supports your mental wellbeing ⤵️

☀ Wake up with natural light
Supports circadian rhythms and boosts morning mood by regulating serotonin and cortisol levels.

🧹 Declutter one space
A tidy space can reduce overwhelm, improve focus, and give you a sense of control.

🏃‍♀️ Refresh your exercise routine
Movement releases endorphins and reduces stress, and spring is a great time to get outdoors again.

🌳 Spend 10 mins outside
Sunlight and nature exposure are proven to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and support mental clarity.

📱 Reconnect with an old friend
Social connection builds emotional resilience and combats feelings of isolation.

🎨 Try one new hobby or habit
Novelty can stimulate the brain’s reward system and help break unhelpful cycles.

🧽 Clean out your digital space
Reducing screen clutter or phone time can calm your nervous system and protect your focus.

🎯 Revisit your personal goals
Seasonal transitions are natural reflection points. Resetting intentions boosts motivation and purpose.

🌼 Spring is your cue to shift, reset and breathe again - inside and out.

📍 Not sure where to start?

Feeling like everyone else has it together except you?
You’re not the only one.

According to new research, nearly half of Aussies under 30 feel unprepared for adult life, from laundry and cooking to just… keeping it together.

This pressure to ""have it all figured out"" while juggling mental load, burnout, and social comparison can leave you anxious, stuck, or ashamed.

Here’s the truth:
Nobody has it all together. But therapy can help you feel more in control emotionally, mentally, and practically.

✨ Whether it’s stress, self-worth, relationships, or just navigating life’s chaos, our team of psychologists is here to walk with you.

Ever feel like you're stuck in your own head? 🌀
You're not alone, and you're not powerless.

When anxiety strikes, our minds can spiral, disconnect, or go completely blank. But simple, evidence-based strategies can help you return to yourself calmly, gently, and without judgment.

🧠 Grounding tools like self-questioning, sensory focus, and coping statements aren’t just self-help tricks, they’re based in real psychology. They help interrupt anxious thinking and re-engage the thinking brain.

📓 Why it works:
Anxiety often pulls us into imagined futures or painful pasts. These tools guide you back to the only place you can truly take action.

Looking for more personalised support to manage anxiety or overwhelm?
Our team of psychologists are here to walk with you, one grounded step at a time.
