MACQUARIE STREET PSYCHOLOGISTS

Psychological support for life,
work and performance.

Experienced psychological care across the personal, professional and performance aspects of life.

We help you find new perspectives, understand the factors influencing your relationships, wellbeing and performance, and motivate positive change.

A BROADER PERSPECTIVE

Macquarie Street Psychologists is an established Sydney practice founded by Clinical Psychologist Pamela Williams Smith.

Our work spans clinical psychology, relationships, families, education, professional development, executive coaching and performance, with experience extending from private individuals and families to business, sport and high-pressure professional environments.

We believe it takes courage to seek professional help. Meaningful change begins with understanding how difficulties have developed, then working collaboratively towards practical strategies that can relieve distress, build insight and help prevent old patterns from returning.

Through this process, new perspectives can emerge and positive change can become possible.
