• Our approach

  Adelaide Clinical Psychology uses evidence-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and other contemporary treatment modalities to support children, adolescents and adults. The philosophy centres on patient comfort and care, creating a private, safe and beautiful therapeutic space where clients feel relaxed and supported to reach their goals. Sessions are collaborative, with psychologists working closely with each person to understand their thoughts and behaviours, and leaving clients with practical steps and techniques to apply in real-life situations. The practice environment is thoughtfully designed with serene background music, quality refreshments and aesthetic décor to foster a positive experience, helping clients shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build lasting psychological resilience.

• Meet the team

  The practice is led by Clinical Director Dr Janine Peckham and includes a diverse team of psychologists with varying qualifications and experience levels. The team comprises Clinical Psychologists (Dr Janine Peckham, Eleanor Lontos, Michelle Tonkin), Senior Registered Psychologists (Madeline Barklay), Registered Psychologists (Clara Freesz, Dr Nina Borojevic, Isla Dougherty, Alanah Croft, Taylor Tinev, Isabella Zannettino, Stephanie Hirst), a Clinical Registrar (Tyla Slobedman), and a Health Registrar (Jess Archer).
