Jake Anderson is a psychologist who looks after people in Kangaroo Flat, in Melbourne’s north-west area. You can find him at Healthworks Medical Complex, 226 High Street, Kangaroo Flat VIC 3555.
Jake’s work focuses on real life problems, not just labels. He sees people who are dealing with stress, feeling overwhelmed, or having a harder time coping day to day. Many clients also come for support with anxiety and low mood, and for skills that help them respond to tough moments in a steadier way.
Work often includes individual therapy sessions, where you can talk through what’s been going on and work out a practical plan. At times, Jake also supports couples and families, especially when communication has broken down or things feel tense at home. The goal is usually the same: clearer patterns, better understanding, and more workable ways to move forward.
Jake uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in many sessions. This tends to focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can link together. Along with that, he uses stress management techniques that can be used outside of appointments too, because it’s no good if the tools only work in the room.
He also brings a calm, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Sessions are built around what matters to you, and they stay grounded in everyday steps you can actually try. Over time, people often find it easier to spot triggers and handle setbacks without getting stuck in the same loop.
Jake works with clients in English, and he also speaks Norwegian and Swedish. If you’re looking for a psychologist who can help you feel heard, and who keeps the process simple and honest, that’s where he can fit in.
Details like formal education history and any research or clinical trial involvement weren’t listed, but the care you can expect is practical and focused on support, skills, and steady progress through therapy.
