Jannikka Balko is a clinical psychologist registered with AHPRA with a particular interest in treating anxiety and depression through life transitions (e.g. relationships and relationship separations, moving through grief and loss, balancing work and study, returning to the workforce, transition to retirement) for young people, adults and older adults. Urgent appointments accommodated!
Jannikka has a client-focused approach, taking a warm, compassionate and open therapeutic approach to assist clients to make sense of and develop strategies to manage their life experiences. Jannikka believes the best outcomes are achieved when treatment is designed to meet client needs and sets up individuals for long-term success.

I'm a bit eclectic and draw from various treatment approaches based on client fit (mostly CBT, Schema, ACT, IPT and DBT). Therapy is a unique process and different for each individual.
