Janice is a compassionate and thoughtful psychologist who places a value on building genuine, collaborative relationships in her work. She is committed to providing a nurturing, evidence based approach to individuals build self awareness, develop coping tools, and move toward meaningful growth.

Janice primarily works with children (8+), teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relational difficulties (peer and family), emotion regulation difficulties, and trauma. Stemming from her experience as a registered teacher across both primary and high school settings, Janice is experienced in supporting children and young people experiencing a range of difficulties, including peer conflicts, family-related stress, and school avoidance. She is passionate about helping young people navigate school and social challenges, and works closely with parents to ensure a supportive and consistent approach.

Janice also has a particular interest in working with adults (and older adults) experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, trauma recovery, relationship pressures, workplace challenges and adjustment to life transitions, prioritising a collaborative, trauma-focussed approach that is tailored to individual needs. She believes in empowering clients of all ages to build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create lasting change.

Janice’s practice is grounded in evidence-based; utilising a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Approaches, and Mindfulness-Based strategies. Janice has also completed training in suicide assessment and intervention, sand tray therapy, understanding the traumatised child, and child therapy; and is undergoing further trauma-focussed training in Schema Therapy to complement her practice.

Outside of the therapy room, Janice enjoys spending time with her family, being outdoors and exploring new places around the Sunshine Coast.
