Summary
Atanas Janackovski is a Clinical Psychologist, PhD and clinician-academic based in New South Wales who combines over two decades in social welfare with eight years of focused clinical practice and leadership. As Director of River Psychology and a Board Approved Supervisor, he specialises in ACT, EMDR, DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing and attachment-informed approaches to support young people and adults with complex needs. He brings research-informed rigour from his PhD and university teaching roles to applied assessment, service evaluation and multidisciplinary collaboration. A certified 500-hour yoga and meditation teacher, Atanas integrates embodied, mind–body techniques into evidence-based therapy to enhance resilience and regulation. His background in mental health data analysis and project management means he pairs clinical skill with pragmatic systems thinking to improve service delivery. Quietly curious about tooling, he also uses R and Emacs in his academic workflow, reflecting a habit of blending technical methods with human-centred care.
