I started sessions with Dr Westerman for anxiety and CBT, and I’ve found real relief, especially with the practical tools he provides. The Melbourne-style calm isn’t here, but in Newcastle he brings a grounded, straight-talking approach that helps you feel understood from day one.
Highly grateful for the support I've received. The focus on practical strategies in our individual sessions has helped me manage stress at work and home. The level 4 office on Hunter Street makes it easy to book in after hours too.
Dr Westerman has a gentle, respectful manner that suits me perfectly. We did some CBT and some anxiety management, which has genuinely changed how I cope with my day-to-day worries. I’d recommend him to anyone on the fight against anxious thoughts here in Newcastle.
I went to see Dr Westerman for couples counseling after a rough patch. He guided us through better communication and helped us reconnect. It’s not a magic fix, but the sessions gave us real tools we still use at home.
As a mum juggling family life, I found family therapy with Dr Westerman incredibly insightful. He helped us create space for everyone to be heard and offered strategies that work for our busy schedule in Newcastle.
Very approachable and down-to-earth psychologist. The CBT framework explained clearly, with practical exercises I could apply between sessions. If you’re in the Hunter Street area and needing support, he’s a solid choice.
I’d seen a few therapists before, but Dr Westerman finally helped me feel understood and empowered to manage my anxiety. The therapy space on Hunter Street feels professional and confidential, which matters a lot.
