Anna McDaid - ACA Registered Counsellor 23443

Anna is a natural-born carer, empath and advocate for all those struggling and wanting more out of life.

She commenced her working life at the age of 18, as a Veterinary Nurse caring for animals in Emergency and Surgical Medicine. After 15 years in the industry, she chose a different career path more in line with the needs of her young family and moved into support and education.

For the past 3 years, Anna has been studying a Diploma of Counselling through the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors, finding a deep love of supporting people. She graduated in 2024 and is embracing this career with open arms.

Anna's passion lies with helping people understand where they are in life, discovering what their ideal future might look like and supporting them along the way. She is excited to have the opportunity to guide others along their counselling journeys, watching them realise their own natural strengths and celebrating their achievements.

Anna creates a non-judgmental safe space where people can talk freely and confidentially without judgement. She has been described as "wrapping people up in her energy, making them feel safe and supported." and considers it a privilege to have people open up, sharing their stories, emotions and experiences held close to their heart.

Anna has a calm, warm demeanor and is known for recognising when people are struggling, taking the time to listen and support them to work through their concerns.

At home, Anna is a carer, mother of 4 and has a menagerie of animals she fondly calls her "zoo." She is an avid musician, playing both Saxophone and Drums and can often be found enjoying local concerts with friends.
