About Newsha
Newsha Javahery is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports clients struggling with sleep, anger, addictions, depression and life changes. Newsha uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people find clearer ways forward.
She blends Narrative Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches. That mix lets people tell their story, notice patterns, and try new ways of relating and coping. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding the stories that shape feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
Newsha has five years of experience working in Australia and holds PACFA credentials. She works in English and Persian and aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to speak frankly about hard things. Her style is warm, curious and non-judgemental.
Therapy often begins with small goals and simple experiments between sessions. Newsha uses strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy when helpful, such as breaking problems into manageable parts and testing new behaviours. Emotion-focused ideas are introduced when deep feelings need attention.
People can expect clear check-ins, practical tools and time to reflect on progress. Newsha supports exploration of identity, attachment patterns and recovery from past hurts. She encourages steady change rather than quick fixes, and works alongside each person to build lasting skills.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Newsha directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches and online therapy that fit your story
Newsha commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people re-author the stories that shape their feelings and choices. This approach helps when past events or repeating patterns make life feel stuck by separating the person from the problem and finding new meanings.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect present-day bonds and reactions. That work is useful for people who notice recurring trust issues, fear of abandonment or avoidance in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Newsha will work collaboratively to choose methods that match each person's goals and preferences. That may mean starting with narrative exploration, adding cognitive behavioural techniques, or focusing on emotions and attachment needs as therapy develops.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or want flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and understanding.
