Ms Anna McKie

Psychotherapist

verified by TherapyRoute

I am an experienced psychotherapist providing a safe and confidential environment facilitating recovery from trauma, transformational change and personal growth.

About Me

I offer a space where you can feel truly heard and understood. Together, we explore the patterns holding you back, helping you gain new perspectives. This confidential environment supports your journey towards significant personal growth. I work collaboratively, guiding you to discover your inner resources for lasting change. Many clients find this process empowering, enabling them to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Approach

Therapy unfolds as a steady, client-led exploration that turns feeling heard into practical shifts in how you live day-to-day. From my Melbourne consulting room and via online sessions conducted in English, I attend to both what you think and what your body signals, pacing work to your tolerance and weaving short practices between sessions to strengthen new responses. I use clear, collaborative steps—gentle somatic noticing, reflective questions and psychoeducation—to help unravel shame, anxiety or old trauma. This approach suits people seeking steady, embodied change.
