Kathleen Mckinnon is a psychologist based in Broken Hill, NSW. She works out of Positive Mind Works at Broken Hill NSW 2880. Her focus is helping people feel a bit steadier, especially when life gets stressful or relationships start to feel hard to manage.
In her sessions, Kathleen looks after adults, couples, and families. Individual therapy is available for day-to-day worries, burnout from carrying too much, and times when your mind won’t switch off. Many people come in for anxiety and for ways to deal with stress that keeps building up over time. At times, family and relationship issues can sit in the background for a long while, then suddenly feel impossible to ignore.
Couples counselling can help when communication breaks down, arguments repeat, trust feels shaky, or you’re both stuck in the same cycle. Family therapy is also offered, which can be useful when the whole household is feeling the strain, or when routines and roles start to drift. The goal isn’t to “fix” anyone overnight. It’s more about getting clearer, calmer ways to talk, cope, and move forward together.
Kathleen also uses stress management techniques as part of therapy. This might include practical tools for grounding yourself in the moment, ways to calm physical tension, and step-by-step support for building habits that make things feel more manageable. When anxiety is part of the picture, sessions often focus on understanding what sets off anxious thoughts and how to respond differently, in a way that feels realistic for everyday life.
Her education and training support her approach to psychological care, with an emphasis on talk-based strategies that fit with real situations. Over time, people often notice they can name what’s going on sooner, handle tough days with less crash-and-burn, and make better choices under pressure. If you’re not sure what kind of support fits best—individual, couples, or family therapy—Kathleen’s sessions can help sort that out in a steady, supportive way.
