Sherryl Rozario, PACFA

Sherryl Rozario is a licensed therapist based in Sydney, Australia, with 12 years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship and intimacy challenges, grief and loss, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She works with clients presenting with communication difficulties, addiction concerns, anxiety and depression, experiences of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, eating-related issues, anger management, trauma, and other complex life stressors. Her broader areas of focus include abandonment, attachment difficulties, aging and geriatric issues, body image, cancer-related distress, caregiver strain, chronic pain and illness, control issues, dependent personality patterns, separation and divorce, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness.

Sherryl draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, person-centred and psychodynamic perspectives, solution-focused strategies, grief, loss and trauma models, and relaxation techniques. At a client’s request she also offers clinical hypnotherapy and employs neurolinguistic programming techniques to help reframe unhelpful patterns of thinking. She holds PACFA credentialing - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - and applies her multilingual abilities in English and Hindi to work with culturally diverse clients, aiming to improve communication, coping, and relationship wellbeing.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sherryl commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - an approach that is often used for anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and develop practical strategies to live well alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. For those coping with loss and trauma, Sherryl applies grief, loss and trauma models that focus on processing painful experiences and rebuilding coping resources.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sherryl partners with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her clinical approach over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Sherryl is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to continue across life transitions and changing circumstances.
