Mrs Annie Macdonald, MSc

Psychotherapist (Registered)

Verified

“A qualified and approachable therapist with over 20 years’ experience in helping adults and couples to change and improve their lives.”

About Me

I offer a warm, supportive space for adults and couples to explore what’s holding them back. With over two decades of experience, I guide you to understand personal patterns and find clear ways forward. My approach helps you make sense of complex feelings, fostering real improvements in your life. Clients seeking lasting change value my approachable style and practical insights, building a more fulfilling life.

Approach

You'll find our work to be steady and practical, with space for reflection and small experiments that help shift everyday patterns. Together, we'll explore recurring patterns, use mindfulness and dream-focused reflection where helpful, and try gentle between-session exercises to support new ways of relating. This collaborative approach can help untangle challenges such as anger, grief, or difficult career decisions, turning them into clearer, more manageable steps.
