Our Story

At McKinnon Psychology, our psychologists treat a variety of issues. We have a special interest in helping individuals across the lifespan experiencing anxiety, traumatic stress, or struggling to adjust following stressful life experiences.

How it all began

Before founding McKinnon Psychology, Dr Anna McKinnon was a clinical psychologist at leading anxiety and trauma clinics in the University of Cambridge in England and various Australian universities.

Inspired by over 15 years of diverse experiences, Anna sought to form a Sydney-based clinic bringing together a group of highly skilled peers to reliably deliver evidence-based treatments in an individualised, sensitive, and trauma-informed manner.

All clinicians at McKinnon Psychology have a minimum of 6 years of university training.

Our Group

Since its establishment in 2022, the clinic has gone from strength-to-strength. Whenever a new psychologist joins our diverse and growing team, we gain an invaluable wealth of talent, knowledge, and expertise.

Though each psychologist is unique, with individual therapeutic styles and niche areas of interest, our team shares unwavering empathy, compassion, and commitment to building genuine and meaningful therapeutic relationships. All of our psychologists have postgraduate qualifications in Clinical Psychology and are registered with AHPRA and Medicare.
