Counselling and Psychotherapy in Melbourne & Sapphire Coast- Dr Jeannette Kavanagh

Dr Jeannette Kavanagh is a highly trained Psychotherapist and Relationship Counsellor. Having trained with Dr Rob McNeilly MD at the Milton Erickson Institute, Jeannette takes a solution-oriented approach to your issues and problems. In relationship counselling couples and individuals learn new ways to communicate and to take responsibility for their issues - it's rarely one person's fault if there are problems. Jeannette isn't keen to allow people to marinate in the negatives so although issues are laid out, we all look to solving them.
Dr Kavanagh takes a multi-discipline approach to issues such as anxiety and depressive states. Through her ongoing professional learning in courses with Rob McNeilly MD, Michael Yapko PhD, Peter Levine PhD, Jeffrey Schwartz MD and many others, Jeannette brings the latest neuroscientific findings to her Practice. Although she uses conventional approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy CBT, Jeannette acknowledges that CBT doesn't suit everyone.
Jeannette tells anyone who telephones that she's not a Psychologist so they won't be eligible for a Medicare rebate. Over 90% of her clients are referred by past clients so they're keen regardless.
For over a decade, Jeannette has worked with people who have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). A member of the Australian BPD Foundation, she is constantly searching for new and better ways to help people who are on that BPD spectrum. ...read more
