PSYCHOLOGY & DEVELOPMENTAL THERAPY

Hi, I’m Janet Devlin, a clinical psychologist at Conscious Healthcare SA.

With over 30 years of experience in psychiatric research, clinical psychology, and mental health service management across Australia’s private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, I’m deeply committed to improving mental health outcomes across the lifespan. My background includes working as a Police Officer and Police Psychologist, where I managed critical incident responses and supported numerous cases through complex challenges.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, integrating an attachment model of psychosocial development with the latest insights from neuroscience to provide culturally safe, strengths-based interventions. I specialise in youth mental health and senior care, ensuring that clients receive compassionate, individualised support.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve had the opportunity to lead and manage multidisciplinary mental health services in rural, remote, and metropolitan settings. My experience has allowed me to contribute to important mental health initiatives, including the National Suicide Prevention Strategy and early intervention programs for schools.

As an educator and mentor, I have taught and supervised doctoral students in psychology, social work, and allied health, as well as providing clinical education to health professionals across Australia. I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and fostering growth in the next generation of mental health practitioners.
