Anna McDonald

As a male, seeing a therapist is quite stigmatised and for me taking that first step was extremely difficult.Anna seriously helped change my life, this year has been a total backflip for me in discovering factors of my behaviour and how to be conscious of them and just generally be better.Thank you Anna! If you’re reading this and considering seeing a psychologist, please just do it. You will thank yourself later.

I struggle to talk positive about myself, but…for Anna, this will be easy! To be honest, I had not the slightest to benchmark or compare to regarding psychological support or intervention. But, from the very first session to now; I can say whole heartily, that Anna is not only a specialist within her field, but truly the embodiment of what it means to be a professional. I speak with friends regarding the therapy undertaken and the response seems to follow a theme like “wow bro, your psych goes well and truly above and beyond.” From out of hour considerations for further readings, to a simple text asking whether you would like a coffee prior to the session, Anna’s courtesy and professionalism is inherently second nature. My life has changed considerably and this stems from the efforts Anna gives within the therapeutic session and the respectful challenge that is brought to the dynamic and exchange. I could write a whole lot more, but in summary I will say that Anna is respectful, humorous, and highly intelligent. If you are looking for a psychologist that creates that harmony, delicately challenges you, but ultimately champions for you…Anna is the person to see!My sincerest thanks Anna!

It’s tough to find the words to describe just how much of an incredible impact Anna has made in my life, but I’ll try! I’ve struggled with anxiety for most of my adult life and have never had clarity on why this is, and how to overcome it, until I met Anna. From our very first session, Anna’s perspectives and insights were eye opening, and I always finish our sessions with a sense of calm and clarity in both mind and body. I’ve since recommended that my close friend, who also struggles with anxiety, start sessions with Anna, and she couldn’t be happier.Anna has changed my life in the best possible way. Thank you so much Anna!Nicole M

Anna has been an amazing support for myself over the past 12 months with my anger . Anna has helped me approach things in a more friendly, calmer and sensible matter, and I have become a better person because of it. I don’t know what else to say but …Thank You so much !!

It was quiet a stressful time attempting to find a Psychologist who I could really click with and wow did Anna really exceed far beyond what I was initially hoping for.Right from our very first session, she has always projected so much care and compassion, making what is usually an uncomfortable experience so easy and pleasant. There’s always been a sense of safety in her presence knowing that no matter what I had going on, I was never judged and my feelings were always validated and never diminished. She really has others best interest at heart and has helped significantly with my own personal struggles.My experience with Anna has been nothing short of a comfortable and peaceful one. She is so attentive, intelligent and knowledgeable in what she does. She has such a beautiful energy about her, almost as if you were talking to a close friend which has made her super approachable and easy to talk to. It’s been a long road to recovery but Anna has been the sunshine to it all ☀️

I was referred to Anna by another psychologist as they were certain she would be the fit for me. It’s been almost a year and I’ve learnt so much about myself and my condition and how it has shaped my life, and how I can make changes for the future. Anna never presses too far and acknowledges when you’re feeling out of sorts. I was initially frightened and very cautious about EMDR but now I look forward to our processing sessions and have seen such a good results. Small steps and I’ve come in leaps and bounds!

I have been working with Anna for nearly two years now. Perfect fit for me. She is great at was she does and is also an amazing human being. Highly recommended.

Everyone needs an Anna in their life. She is smart, insightful, and knows how to unpack a lot of stuff, in a short amount of time. She actually makes you want to attend sessions, I cannot recommend more highly!
