Clinical Psychology for Adults in Frankston

Adults seek psychological support and therapy for many different reasons. Some people attend therapy during a period of crisis, while others reach out after carrying stress, sadness or anxiety for a long time. You may be managing workplace difficulties, perfectionism, burnout, low mood, insomnia, grief, family tension, chronic illness or uncertainty about the next stage of life.

Janine works with adults across Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding suburbs, offering evidence-based therapy tailored to your individual needs. Her approach is warm, honest and collaborative, helping you better understand the patterns, thoughts and emotions that may be keeping you stuck.

There is no one size fits all approach to psychology. Janine draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy to help adults explore the inner mechanics behind distress, while also focusing on practical steps that can support meaningful change.

Support for Anxiety, Depression, Stress and Life Changes

It is common for adults to keep pushing through, even when life feels overwhelming. You may appear to be coping on the outside while feeling exhausted, disconnected, worried or emotionally drained on the inside.

Adult psychology sessions can help with:

Anxiety and persistent worry

Depression and low motivation

Workplace stress and burnout

Grief and bereavement

Relationship and family difficulties

Insomnia and sleep concerns

Perfectionism and unrealistic expectations

Health issues, chronic illness and adjustment

Aging and major life transitions

Therapy provides time to slow down, reflect and understand what is happening beneath the surface. From there, Janine works with you to build strategies that suit your circumstances, comfort level and goals.
