Hi, I am Janine – a clinical psychologist offering both telehealth and F2F services. I believe it is critical that clients feel safe and supported in therapy to make lasting changes in their lives. I use evidence based therapies and adopt a strength-based approach to my work, recognising that we all have abilities, knowledge and capacities that help us function in the world. I work with my clients to identify and build on these strengths while also helping provide new understandings into difficulties, and tools to address these.

TaylorMade Counselling has been designed to work with people of all ages who are looking for a comfortable and safe environment to have life changing, meaningful and practical conversations. The TaylorMade journey began with a single goal; to be able to connect with people and to support them to reconnect with themselves. I wanted TaylorMade to be about empowering people who are experiencing challenges, to encourage them to look at their lives from different angles, to reframe their thinking, to recognise and acknowledge their strengths and triumphs, in order to facilitate them to make positive changes, so that they can lead happy and fulfilling lives.

I know how challenging it can be to reach out for support, but taking the first step towards improving your mental health can be a catalyst for change. I want to help you make positive changes to your life that make your life feel rich and meaningful so that you're living a life that feels authentic, and is in line with your values and who you want to be. Together we can explore and work through issues such as anxiety, depression, rumination, struggles with life transitions, work stress, study stress, relationship issues, loss of direction, uncertainty about careers or life trajectories, and addiction (such as gambling).

I am a psychotherapist, Medicare approved Clinical Social Worker, a trauma trained EMDR and Eating Disorder therapist. Off late, you may have noticed emotions and thoughts continue to rule your life, and no matter how hard you try, it never feels 'good enough'. You find yourself stuck in the cycle of 'wanting to please others' while feeling unseen and unheard. You now know that your anxiety and need for control is no longer serving you. You want to start honouring yourself and your needs, even when if it feels hard.
