Clinical Psychologist, Paddington, Brisbane
More than control, thrive with Jane’s holistic approach to living well with diabetes.
Jane is a Clinical Psychologist who operates a private practice in the heart of Paddington, a central suburb in Brisbane. Her professional focus is on providing psychological strategies and health coaching interventions for adults living with chronic health conditions and weight management issues. Jane’s work is rooted in the understanding that physical health is deeply intertwined with emotional well-being. She believes that addressing psychological factors can significantly improve the management of chronic health conditions and weight-related concerns.
One of Jane’s primary areas of interest is diabetes support. This encompasses a range of conditions, including Pre-diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), and Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). Each condition presents unique challenges and requires tailored strategies for effective management considering the individuals time with the disease, their relationship with the diagnosis, their ability to follow medical and lifestyle advice, their experiences while managing the disease, as well as acknowledging the impacts physically, emotionally, and socially on the individual.
People living with diabetes are faced with a lifelong regimen of blood sugar monitoring, medications, clinical appointments, and screening for complications. Living with diabetes influences every aspect of a person’s life, from the workplace, going out to dinner, being admitted to hospital, and wanting to have a baby.
A new diagnosis of diabetes is life-changing and, for some, traumatic. Jane supports clients to process the bereavement and trauma experienced with a new diagnosis and start the process of adjustment to their new life and identity.
The effort involved with lifelong diabetes management can feel very stressful, especially living with other life stressors such as relationship or financial pressures. This combination can contribute to the experience of anxiety, depression or diabetes burnout.
Jane has been working extensively with clients living with diabetes, providing them with psychological counselling and evidence-based interventions to support them in coping with living with diabetes, managing diabetes-related distress and creating a meaningful life while living with diabetes.
Jane’s work as a Clinical Psychologist in the field of chronic health conditions and weight management is multifaceted and highly specialised. She offers a range of psychological strategies and health coaching interventions tailored to the unique needs of individuals with various forms of diabetes. Her holistic, evidence-based approach focuses on enhancing her clients’ overall well-being while living with their health condition/s.
