Hello, I'm Janelle.
I am a Brisbane-based Family Therapist offering counselling for individuals, couples and families who are seeking guidance and support during challenging times.
With over 20 years of practice both in Brisbane and rural Queensland, I specialise in couples and family therapy, as well as neurodiverse counselling for families where Autism /Aspergers/ADHD or other developmental, behavioural or neurodivergent traits are identified.
Offering an integrative approach that draws on diverse schools of therapy and other wellness modalities, I coach couples, families and individuals who want to co-create a more harmonious experience of their lives and relationships.
In a constructive and non-judgmental environment, each individual is heard, validated, and invited to explore new ideas and responses that will alleviate relationship problems and encourage positive change and personal growth.
