Tegan MacKenzie is a psychologist based in Bulimba, in Brisbane’s inner south. Her practice is at Unit 5, 27 Godwin Street, Bulimba QLD 4171. Tegan helps people who are dealing with tough thoughts and feelings, and who want to work out ways to cope that actually fit real life.
Sessions are aimed at counselling and therapy for anxiety and depression. At times, anxiety can feel like it’s always on, and depression can make everyday stuff feel heavy. Tegan also supports people with stress that’s building up from work, family, or just being run down. The focus is on helping you understand what’s going on and then making practical changes step by step.
Tegan’s approach uses behavioural therapy, along with tools like mindfulness training and stress management techniques. In many cases, this means looking at patterns—what triggers things, what keeps them going, and what helps them settle. You won’t be pushed into anything. Instead, the sessions are calm and steady, and you can take things at your pace.
Over time, people often come in wanting relief, but they stay for the skills. Things like learning how to slow down racing thoughts, build more helpful routines, and notice what your mind is doing in the moment can make a big difference. Tegan works with you to find strategies you can use between appointments, not just during them.
Training and methods used in the practice build on core psychology counselling skills, including behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based approaches. This is the kind of work that supports day-to-day wellbeing, not only crisis moments. Research or clinical trials aren’t a big part of how the practice runs, but the therapy tools used are grounded in common clinical approaches for anxiety, depression, and stress.
If you’re not sure what you need yet, that’s okay. Many people start by sharing what’s been hard lately, and Tegan helps map out a clear way forward from there.
