Janet Alexander is a Psychologist and Psychotherapist based in Randwick, NSW. You can find her practice at Suite 2, 35 Perouse Road, Randwick NSW 2031.
Janet works with people at different stages of life. Some come in feeling worn down by stress or anxious thoughts. Others are dealing with low mood, loss of motivation, or things feeling “stuck” at home or at work. Many clients also want support with healthier ways to cope when life gets messy.
Appointments can be one-on-one, but Janet also offers therapy for couples and families. Relationship issues are often about more than one argument. In many cases, it’s about patterns that have built up over time. Family sessions can help everyone understand what’s happening, and how to respond in a calmer way.
Janet uses approaches like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy. CBT can be helpful when thoughts and habits start driving the day. It’s not about “positive thinking” only. It’s more about noticing what’s going on in your head, then trying practical changes that fit your life.
Mindfulness-based therapy is also a big part of how Janet helps. At times, it can feel simple, but it’s not always easy. Learning to pause, focus on the present moment, and notice feelings without getting pulled around can take practice. Janet helps clients build skills step by step, at a pace that feels manageable.
What that looks like in real life varies from person to person. In sessions, Janet makes room for your story, then helps you sort through what’s working and what isn’t. Together you can set goals that make sense, and work on changes you can actually use between appointments.
Over time, many people find therapy helps them feel more in control, not just “better on the day.” Whether you’re looking for individual support, couple counselling, or family therapy, the aim stays the same: to make things easier to handle and easier to understand.
Details on education, research work, and clinical trials aren’t listed here, but the focus in the room is always on practical support, clear communication, and steady progress.
