Ms Sally-Anne McCormack

Clinical Psychologist

An experienced Clinical Psychologist, former teacher, deals with children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with mental health.

About Me

As an experienced Clinical Psychologist and former teacher, I offer a supportive space for children, adolescents, and adults. I understand how overwhelming mental health struggles can feel. Together, we can gently explore your feelings and develop practical strategies tailored to your unique situation. This collaborative approach helps you find clarity and build resilience. My aim is to create a manageable path forward, whatever your age or challenge.

Approach

We begin by clarifying what matters most to you, then translate that into small, practical steps that fit your daily life here in Melbourne or in an online session. Sessions feel focused and conversational — we track patterns, try interventions together, and I share clear explanations so you understand what’s changing and why. Between meetings I may suggest short, achievable tasks or observations to build momentum without overwhelming you. This approach suits people who want steady, practical progress at their own pace.
