approach

Hi, I’m Curtis McDonald, a provisional psychologist based in the beautiful Blue Mountains, on Dharug and Gundungurra Country.

I take a holistic approach to psychological wellness. I work with the whole person—mind, body, relationships, meaning, spirituality—rather than operating from a purely manualised or diagnostic medical model. My stance is progressive, humanistic, grounded and integrative.

My work draws from a number of depth-oriented and psychodynamic modalities, including Internal Family Systems, existential and mythopoetic counselling, Jungian psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a range of evidence-based approaches.

I look forward to meeting you.
