Dr Poobal Naidoo

Psychologist

“I am a family therapist and am experienced in most modes of therapy. I am a WorkCover professional registered with SIRA and deal with workplace injuries. I also work with NDIS participants who are Plan Managed.”

About Me

As a family therapist, I provide a compassionate space for individuals and families to navigate life's complexities. Drawing on my broad experience, I help you explore challenges and discover practical ways forward. I also support those managing workplace injuries, as a WorkCover professional registered with SIRA. For NDIS participants, I offer tailored assistance if you are Plan Managed. My goal is to foster understanding and build resilience together.

Approach

You’ll find sessions are practical and paced to suit your family’s rhythm, helping you focus on what feels manageable next. In my Sydney clinic I offer appointments in English, Bengali and Afrikaans and keep sessions structured to respect workplace and NDIS timelines. We use concise assessments, collaborative goal-setting and simple between-session practice to reduce anxiety, contain anger and support mood and child-focused planning. People seeking straightforward, evidence-guided support that fits everyday life tend to find this approach helpful.
