Evidence-based therapy in Wollongong
Support for adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, or patterns of behaviour that feel difficult to change.
If things feel stuck, overwhelming, or out of control, therapy can help you make sense of what’s going on and support you moving forward.
Our Approach
Our approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based psychological therapy. We take time to understand what you’re experiencing and the patterns contributing to current difficulties, and work together to find more helpful and manageable ways of responding. Therapy provides space to build self-awareness, make sense of what feels stuck or overwhelming, and develop practical skills for change. Sessions are guided by what is most useful for you, with a focus on creating realistic, sustainable change aligned with the life you want.
Our Services
Anxiety can show up in many different ways — constant worry, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, sleep problems, or feeling permanently “on edge.”
Therapy can help you better understand your anxiety, develop practical coping strategies, improve emotion regulation, and feel more confident managing everyday challenges.
We provide professional supervision in a supportive, reflective, and collaborative environment. With more than 10 years of experience supervising intern, provisional psychologists, psychologists and counsellors.
Supervision focuses on developing confidence, strengthening clinical skills, supporting ethical practice, and promoting practitioner wellbeing.
If you feel like a behaviour is becoming difficult to control or is beginning to impact your wellbeing, relationships, work, or finances, support is available.
With over 15 years of specialist experience supporting people affected by gambling harm, we provide treatment for a wide range of behavioural addictions and compulsive behaviours.
Feeling flat, emotionally drained, unmotivated, or disconnected from life can make even simple tasks feel difficult.
Therapy provides a supportive space to explore what may be contributing to these experiences while helping you build resilience, reconnect with your values, and improve overall wellbeing.
Our Clinician
Janine Coombs
Principal Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor with more than 20 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, gambling harm, behaviour change for health and wellbeing, and other significant life challenges.
I believe that therapy can create space for reflection, self-discovery, and growth. By working together to better understand patterns, challenges, and strengths, you can take meaningful steps towards living a life that feels more aligned with what matters most to you.
I hold a Master of Professional Psychology from the University of Wollongong and spent 15 years working at the Sydney University Gambling Treatment and Research Clinic. I have also worked in community health settings through the Primary Health Network and in the private sector, including Medibank Private.
