Newsha Javahery, PACFA
Practical, body-aware therapy for emotional healing
About Newsha
Newsha Javahery is a PACFA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and problems with intimacy and self‑esteem. She works with people facing addiction, sleep problems, anger and life transitions. Newsha uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to make sessions feel manageable.
Newsha blends body‑aware methods with evidence‑informed talking therapies. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body as well as the stories people tell about themselves.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to the client’s comfort and focus on small, achievable changes. Clients can expect a warm, calm presence and a practical focus. Newsha draws on Attachment‑Based approaches to look at patterns in close relationships.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help shift unhelpful thinking and Emotionally‑Focused ideas to name and work with strong feelings. Over five years of practice, Newsha has supported people with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation and communication problems. Her work includes help for those coping with divorce, caregiving stress, and substance misuse.
She offers sessions in English and Persian and works with people across Australia. The aim is to build coping skills and clearer thinking, so daily life becomes easier to manage.
Approaches you can use online
Somatic work focuses on the body and how sensations link to emotions. It helps people notice tension, grounding and breath patterns and use simple body‑based practices to reduce overwhelm. This can be useful for trauma, intense anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people recognise repeating dynamics and practise new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Client‑Centered Therapy prioritises the person’s own experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering support, reflection and empathy so the client can make sense of difficult feelings and choose next steps. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Newsha will discuss options and try methods that suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions as trust and insight grow. Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face‑to‑face interaction, while phone, live chat and text‑based messaging suit shorter check‑ins or people who feel anxious on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice skills between sessions.Frequently asked questions
