I’m Janelle Stanbury
I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 16 years experience in private practice. I provide therapy for adults across Fremantle and Perth’s South-West.
My work focuses on helping people experiencing :
Anxiety and chronic stress and burn-out
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
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 insight and still be stuck in old patterns.
I combine cognitive understanding with a bottom-up approach that includes the nervous system/body.
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.
