About of Jane A. Mcgillivray

Jane A. Mcgillivray is a psychiatrist based in Geelong, VIC. The practice address is 1 Gheringhap Street, Geelong, VIC 3220, Australia. She works with adults who may be dealing with mental health changes, stress, or day-to-day difficulties that feel hard to shift.


As a psychiatrist, the focus is on understanding what’s going on for the person and helping make a clear plan. This can include looking at mood, behaviour, attention, and how a person is coping in everyday life. In many cases, sessions are used to sort out what might be behind symptoms, and then work out practical next steps.


Common areas of care include major depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Support can also be relevant for people who live with autism spectrum disorder and related presentations, including Asperger’s. At times, concerns can show up differently in adulthood, so the approach often stays grounded in real routines like work, study, sleep, and relationships.


There can also be times when COVID-19 affects mental health and wellbeing. When this comes up, the goal is to help with the emotional and psychological side of things alongside other supports. That might mean working through worries, low mood, or changes in motivation and energy after illness, and finding ways to move forward.


Jane’s work is built around careful assessment and steady follow-up. It’s not just about quick fixes. Over time, treatment aims to be more manageable, with support that fits the person’s needs and what they can realistically do week to week.
