Anna J. Mckinnon is a Psychiatrist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
In her clinic, Anna focuses on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). That can happen after many kinds of events, and it often shows up in day-to-day life in ways that feel hard to switch off. Some people feel on edge all the time. Others get flashbacks, nightmares, or sudden bursts of fear. For many, sleep can be a real struggle, and it can start to affect work, relationships, and mood.
PTSD can also bring other worries along the way. At times there may be anger, low mood, trouble concentrating, or feeling disconnected. Some people try to push these feelings down for a long time. Over time, that can make things heavier. Anna works with people to understand what is going on for them, and to work out a plan that fits their life, not just a checklist of symptoms.
Psychiatric care for PTSD is not only about talking. It can include practical strategies for coping with triggers, building better routines, and finding ways to feel safer in your own body. Anna looks at the full picture—how stress shows up, how the nervous system stays “stuck”, and what helps someone get back some control.
People come in for different reasons. Some are newly diagnosed. Others have been living with PTSD for years and feel worn out by it. In many cases, they may have tried other supports before and are looking for something more focused. Anna aims to keep sessions calm and grounded, with clear next steps. She also understands that progress can be slow and uneven, and that’s normal.
If you are dealing with PTSD symptoms and you feel like your life has shrunk around them, Anna can help you make sense of it and move forward at a pace that feels right. The goal is steady, realistic support—so you can start to feel like yourself again, even if it takes time.
