Dr Janaki Rajagopalan is a Psychiatrist based in Sydney, NSW. She works with people through Telehealth Consultations across Sydney and the wider area.
As a psychiatrist, Dr Rajagopalan supports adults and teens with mental health concerns, especially when mood and anxiety are getting in the way of day to day life. At times, that can mean feeling low or flat for weeks, feeling on edge, or having worries that won’t switch off. In many cases, people are also dealing with stress, changes at work or home, sleep problems, or a general sense of overwhelm.
Her appointments usually include a mix of therapy sessions and structured counselling. She also helps with medication management when it’s the right fit. This can involve checking how someone is going on current treatment, adjusting plans when needed, and making sure people understand what they’re taking and why.
When someone first comes in, the focus is often on proper assessment. Dr Rajagopalan looks at symptoms, patterns over time, and any triggers or stressors that might be keeping things going. She then works out a practical plan, with realistic steps, so care feels clearer and less confusing.
Communication is a big part of how she works. Dr Rajagopalan speaks English, French, Hindi, and Tamil, which can make it easier to talk through concerns and preferences. For many people, that sense of being understood makes a real difference.
She aims to keep things calm and grounded. Mental health can feel complicated, but the sessions don’t need to be. Over time, the goal is steady progress—whether that means learning skills to manage anxiety, improving mood, or finding the right balance of supports and treatment.
There’s also room to talk about what has and hasn’t worked before, and what feels doable right now. Dr Rajagopalan takes a careful, thoughtful approach, and keeps decisions focused on the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
