Kathleen McLaren Psychology

Philosophy

Dr Kathleen believes in offering a warm, confidential and supportive environment for her patients to build the tools and skills to live fulfilled and emotionally healthy lives. She tailors her approach to suit you and your individual needs, drawing from years of experience working in diverse therapy settings such as community mental health programs, Lifeline and multiple medical practices across Sydney. She also enjoys teaching up and coming psychologists in her work as an academic at Macquarie University. Dr Kathleen practices in a relaxed, down-to-earth manner, which helps patients to feel comfortable and confident in sharing their experiences. 

The aim of the initial session is to develop an understanding of your concerns and difficulties, as well as your goals and expectations. Ongoing sessions are based on a balance between gaining insight and understanding, as well as helping you develop the individualised techniques and strategies needed to help you live the life you want.
