Ms Joanne McDonald
Psychologist
“More than 20 years experience as an understanding compassionate therapist. I specialise in couples and in art therapy for all.”
About Me
Drawing on over 20 years' experience, I offer an understanding, compassionate space as a psychologist. I specialise in supporting couples to navigate challenges and deepen their connection. For individuals of all ages, I guide creative expression through art therapy, helping to explore feelings words might miss. This ensures I meet you where you are, fostering insight and growth that truly resonates.
Approach
Sessions move between quiet curiosity and gentle structure, using both conversation and art to uncover what’s felt but not yet named. I work with individuals, couples and families in Melbourne and online in English, keeping a calm, steady pace so people feel safe to slow down and notice patterns. We might draw, collage or use simple experiments between sessions to practise new ways of relating and soothing strong feelings. This way of working tends to suit those seeking clarity and kinder connection.
