Colette McKenna
Registered psychologist
About
Colette McKenna is a Registered Psychologist with 13 years of clinical experience supporting clients aged 6 to 99. Beginning in school psychology, Colette developed a strong foundation in child and adolescent development before extending her practice to adults and older adults. She supports clients with ADHD, including those diagnosed later in life, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, burnout, career transitions and workplace challenges, and provides tailored care for veterans and service members. Relationship support is also an important part of her practice, helping individuals navigate conflict, strengthen communication, establish healthy boundaries and adjust to changes in significant relationships.
Colette’s empathetic, client-centred approach emphasises active listening and taking time to understand each person’s unique life journey, experiences, priorities and concerns. She offers a respectful, non-judgemental space, working collaboratively with clients towards meaningful goals. Her care is trauma-informed and draws on evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to help clients build on their strengths and develop practical ways forward. Where appropriate, she supports clients to make positive lifestyle changes and explore perspectives, assumptions and frames of reference that may place unnecessary limits on their choices and sense of possibility. Therapy is tailored to individual needs, preferences and circumstances. Consultations are offered exclusively via telehealth, by video or telephone, with evening and weekend appointments available to accommodate different schedules.
What a first session looks like
Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and explore what brought you here. Together, we’ll talk about what you’d like to change, your strengths and resources and your hopes for the future. We’ll identify what you’d like to work on in the short and long term and consider the support that would be most helpful to you in everyday life.
