Clinical Psychologist in Fremantle

Evidence-based, trauma-informed, somatic therapy in Fremantle

Are you anxious, depressed or stuck in patterns that feel hard to shift ?

You don’t have to work it out by yourself.

At A Good Space Clinical Psychology in Fremantle, therapy offers a place to slow down, understand what is happening and begin to create meaningful change.

I work with adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and long standing patterns that are hard to shift.

Hi, I’m Janelle Stanbury

I am a Clinical Psychologist providing therapy for adults across Fremantle and Perth’s South-West.

My work focuses on helping people experiencing :

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Depression or emotional numbess

  • Trauma including PTSD, Complex PTSD and developmental trauma

  • Relationship and attachment difficulties

  • Low self esteem and harsh self-criticism

  • Patterns that repeat

Common Reasons People Seek Therapy

Many people I work with don’t think of themselves as having “trauma”. They come because something isn’t working — they may feel persistently anxious or depressed, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in familiar patterns.

You might recognise some of the following :

  • Persistent anxiety or feeling on edge

  • Depression, including numbness, low motivation, or withdrawal

  • Difficulty regulating emotions such as anger, shame, or fear

  • Low self-worth or harsh self-criticism

  • Repeating relationship difficulties

  • Physical stress symptoms such as tension, fatigue, or pain

  • Intrusive thoughts or memories, including trauma or PTSD symptoms

Many people find it helpful to understand how therapy might support what they’re experiencing

Repeating patterns can be frustrating and disheartening

The truth is you are not stupid or lazy. Neither are you broken or somehow failing.

If you could solve emotional problems with logic and reason alone, you would have done this years ago. It can be frustrating to have some insight and understanding and still be stuck in old patterns.

I combine cognitive understanding with a bottom-up approach that includes the body. This is somatic therapy.

Many emotional patterns are not held only in our thinking. They are also expressed through physical sensations, emotional responses, and automatic patterns in the nervous system.

Somatic therapy works with these experiences directly, helping people develop awareness of how their mind and body respond to stress, threat, and connection.

By bringing attention to present-moment experience — including physical sensations, emotions, and impulses — somatic therapy can help make unconscious patterns more visible and easier to understand.
