About Us

Our Story

Seerah Psychology is the brainchild of long-time friends and colleagues, Nafisa Choudhury and Carawan Ghanem. They saw the need for a psychology service that is culturally informed and caters to the needs of the diverse community in western Sydney. Our boutique practice was founded to meet this need by providing tailored support with the wealth of experience brought by Carawan & Nafisa. Together, they have built, and will continue to develop, a service geared towards exceptional, integrated and personalised care.
