Dr Atanas Janackovski
Clinical Psychologist · Board-approved Supervisor · EMDRAA Accredited Practitioner · Yoga & Meditation Teacher
BSc (Psyc&Mgmt) · BPsycSc (Hons) · PhD (ClinPsyc) · AHPRA PSY0002176486
Atanas has more than 20 years in the social welfare sector — counselling, case work, group work, and service management — and went on to complete a PhD in clinical psychology to deepen his understanding of the biological, psychological, and social threads that shape a person’s life. That breadth sits behind how he works: with the whole person in context, not a diagnosis in isolation.
His practice is collaborative and strengths-based. He draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR, cognitive-behavioural therapy, schema therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, and tailors the work to the person in front of him rather than a fixed protocol. As a Board-approved supervisor and EMDRAA Accredited Practitioner, he also supervises and consults to other practitioners.
Atanas is a registered yoga and meditation teacher with over a decade of personal practice, and he weaves contemplative approaches into his clinical work where they fit. Outside the clinic he plays and records music, spends time in nature, and values time with his family.
He sees adults, and works with Medicare, DVA, NDIS, Open Arms, and private clients — in person or by secure video.
In-person sessions are at Level 1, 338–340 Crown Street, Wollongong NSW 2500 — inside the Illawarra Family Medical Centre, with free off-street parking and lift access.
