Hi there! I am Popi Iatrou, an experienced senior psychologist available for in-person bookings in Sylvania (Sutherland Shire and surroundings) or online sessions in Australia and coaching worldwide. I work within a framework of holistic psychology, integrating the mind-body connection for whole-of-self healing and growth


Your Path to Mental Wellness with Popi Iatrou
I am a dedicated and compassionate psychologist working in Sylvania, with over 26 years of clinical experience working with adults, adolescents, children, parents, and carers in public and private healthcare. I have worked in Adolescent Medicine at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead since 2001, and I am available for private psychology sessions for people of all ages in Sylvania, NSW.
I am committed to helping you navigate life’s challenges and enhance your mental well-being. I have also trained as a yoga teacher and taught dance for over 13 years. My passion for art and creativity colours my therapeutic work and attracts people who are ready for a transformative journey.
Psychology Services
Anxiety and Depression Therapy
Find relief from anxiety, panic attacks, and depression through a body-first approach. Managing stress, anxiety, and low mood starts with reconnecting with your body. I combine traditional psychological therapy with somatic and sensory approaches, holistic assessments, and tailored treatments to guide you toward healing.
Sleep Support
Struggling with insomnia or disrupted sleep? As someone certified in CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), I can help you establish healthier sleep patterns and overcome the thoughts and behaviours that interfere with rest. CBT-I is a proven, evidence-based approach that addresses the root causes of sleep difficulties, helping you feel more refreshed and energised.

Menopause and Mental Health
Navigate the emotional and psychological shifts of menopause with specialised support. Many women experience heightened anxiety, mood swings, and sleep disturbances during this transition. My approach integrates evidence-based psychological therapies with holistic and somatic methods to help you regain balance and well-being.
Complex Trauma and PTSD Recovery
Heal from trauma in a safe, compassionate space. Through trauma-focused therapy and holistic psychology, I can help you rebuild resilience and reclaim your inner strength. I use effective models such as Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and DBT-informed practices to support your recovery.
ADHD and ASD Support
Gain the tools and confidence to navigate life with ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. My services include assessment and treatment focusing on brain-based therapy, skill-building, sensory-motor integration, and advocacy. Together, we’ll create strategies to improve focus, organisation, and self-empowerment.
Life’s Curveballs
Whether you’re dealing with relationship challenges, significant life changes, or workplace stress, I’m here to help you find clarity and restore balance. We’ll work together to make sense of your experiences, build resilience, and craft a vision for your future.

If you have a Mental Health Care Plan, your sessions are subsidised by Medicare. This means that Medicare covers a portion of the cost while you pay the remaining amount. A session with Popi has a total cost of $230. Medicare gives you back $96.35 so that you only pay a gap of $133.65.
