Dr Liza Chervonsky

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a clinical psychologist, with a deep interest in working with people who have personality disorders and interpersonal and relationship difficulties. In particular, I work with individuals who struggle with opening up and trusting others, and those with avoidant or narcissistic coping defenses or traits.”

About Me

I help you navigate life's challenges as a Clinical Psychologist. My approach is practical and directive, offering clear guidance to move forward. I create a non-judgmental, empathic space where you can openly explore your concerns. We will work together to understand your situation and develop actionable strategies you can use immediately. This direct, supportive style suits those seeking concrete steps and a clear path towards positive change.

Approach

I focus sessions on clear, manageable steps that help you test new ways of relating and lower the risk of feeling overwhelmed. I see people from Sydney and beyond, offering appointments in English and via secure online sessions so practical work continues between meetings. Sessions are structured and collaborative—brief check-ins, targeted experiments, gentle feedback and short between-session tasks to build trust, regulate anger and reduce avoidance. This approach suits people who want direct, immediately useful guidance and steady progress.
