Anna E Crichton & Partners Clinical Psychology

Our Philosophy

At Anna E Crichton & Partners, we firmly believe that understanding the complexities of life is a journey that requires reflection and self-awareness. As Soren Kierkegaard so eloquently put it, "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." This philosophy guides our approach to clinical psychology, where we strive to empower individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience, compassion, and personal growth.

Our Story

Anna Crichton, our founder and registered Clinical Psychologist, has been dedicated to providing exceptional care to her clients for over two decades. Established in 1996, our clinical practice initially operated from Queanbeyan, near the Australian Capital Territory and the far south coast of New South Wales. In July 2020, we made the strategic decision to relocate to Queensland's iconic Gold Coast, allowing us to expand our reach and better serve our clients.
