Rory McRae is a Psychologist based in Sydney, working out of Positive Mind Works in Sydney NSW 2000.
Rory looks after people who want support in everyday life, not just in crisis moments. Many clients come in feeling stressed, stuck, or overwhelmed. Others are dealing with relationship strain, communication issues, or patterns that keep showing up again and again.
In individual therapy, Rory helps people slow things down and work out what’s really going on. Sessions can be a place to talk through anxiety, low mood, and tough life changes. At times, it’s also about learning practical ways to handle pressure at home, at work, or in the background of day-to-day life.
Couples counselling is another big part of the work. This can include working through conflict, trust issues, and feeling disconnected. Rory focuses on clearer conversations and healthier ways to respond, so both people can feel heard rather than stuck in the same arguments.
Family therapy can be helpful when everyone is coping in different ways. Rory supports families in improving how they understand each other, especially when stress is affecting routines, communication, or emotions.
Alongside talking, Rory also supports clients with stress management techniques. That might mean learning ways to calm the body, reset after a hard day, and build routines that make things feel more manageable. Over time, clients often say the goal is less about “fixing everything” and more about having tools they can use when life gets busy.
Rory’s experience has been built through regular, day-to-day work with clients in therapy. The aim is steady, realistic support that respects where people are at. Rory works at a pace that feels comfortable, and keeps things practical so therapy can actually fit into real life.
For education, Rory completed formal training in psychology and holds the usual qualifications required to practise as a psychologist in Australia.
Research, publications, and any clinical trial involvement aren’t listed here. Still, Rory stays current through ongoing professional learning, so ideas and approaches remain helpful and up to date.
