Welcome to Janet Wilkinson Counselling/ Psychotherapy
Counselling / Psychotherapy (MCAPA) Inner West Sydney - Annandale and Croydon.
About Us
I am in private practice offering counselling and psychotherapy.
Rather than using a cognitive approach, (as most psychologists do), I work psychodynamically to address a person's underlying difficulties, while focusing on 'here and now' concerns.
For Adults - Individual work and Couple work:
I offer assistance with most emotional and/or psychological problems, including:
- Anxiety, insecurity, including social anxiety,
- Depression, mood disorders,
- Suicidal feelings.
- Sleep disturbance,
- Relationship difficulties – with intimate partners as well as with family, work etc.
- Addictive behaviour including: gambling, drugs, pills, sexual acting out etc.
- Eating disorders – restricting/anorexia, bulimia, over-eating.
- Difficulties at work,
- Sexual problems,
- Obsessive thoughts and/ or behaviour.
- Frequent ill-health which may have a psychosomatic basis. eg. Migraines, digestive upsets.
For teenagers:
I specialise in helping children and teenagers with emotional and/or behavioural difficulties.
ie. Children with significant anxiety or nervousness, problems with sleep - bed-wetting etc, • difficulties at school inc. inability to concentrate or study, relationship difficulties – eg. with family - jealousy, conflict, defiance, toileting problems- soiling etc. Aggressive or uncontrollable behaviour, hyper-activity.
For children, I predominantly work using non-directive play therapy. A child will express in their own way what is worrying them and how they are trying to manage.
I am also available to see a young child in the autistic spectrum.
For teenagers: I offer assistance with problems including:
• Addictive behaviour, including alcohol, drug use, the internet, computer games; • Food issues such as anorexia, sickness, over-eating; • Difficulties with relationships; • withdrawal, insecurity, depression; • school refusal; aggression, destructiveness, suicidal feelings.
I work in a flexible way with adolescents, according to the specific needs of the young person.
