Psychologist Sydney
We’re a team of experienced and compassionate psychologists based in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, here to support children, teenagers, and adults through life’s challenges. We help people get ‘unstuck’ and improve their mental health and happiness using evidence-based practices that work. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating trauma, or seeking guidance for your child, we offer evidence-based psychological care to help you move forward with clarity, strength, and resilience.
Our Mission
Life stress is unpredictable and can occur at any time.
We can’t control when bad things happen, but we can learn helpful ways of responding so that we are not negatively impacted in the years to come.
McKinnon Psychology has a particular focus on high-quality evidence-based treatments for anxiety, traumatic stress, and adjustment following stressful life experiences.
We believe that even after the most difficult of circumstances, there is the potential for growth and development.
Our team can help you learn tools to build resilience and take your life in a new direction.
The Building Blocks
Our practice values are guided by values of trauma-informed care. Our clinicians strive to ensure that your therapeutic journey is a supportive and confidence-building experience. We want you to experience long-lasting improvements from the therapeutic process.
Relationships
A trusting and collaborative relationship between psychologist and client encourages clients to develop confidence, change their ways of coping and develop their strengths

Our Approach
We understand that no two people are the same. That’s why we take the time to understand your story — what’s working, what’s not, and what you hope to change.
Together, we’ll create a therapy plan tailored to your needs, using approaches backed by the latest research. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or long-term guidance, you’ll feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Prefer to speak from home?
