Mike McKinney is a registered
clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience. He has worked in both
public (hospital-based) and private practice settings, with a wide range of
clients presenting with issues including: depression, anxiety, stress
management, problem solving, and challenges within their work setting.
Over the years, Mike has become increasingly intrigued by the potential
for an individual’s personality style to enhance or undermine decisions and
behaviours in relation to achievement. He believes there is a role for
psychology to help people maximise their potential to achieve a more meaningful
and rewarding life, be it in the corporate world, sporting arena, or personal
understanding and awareness. Mike approaches psychological therapy in a
collaborative manner, employing a range or evidence-based therapeutic options
that are built around his training and skillset within CBT, ACT and
Schema-based approaches.
Mike is married to a psychologist and together they have two teenage
boys. His interests include martial arts and classic Japanese motorcycles. He
lives with his family in Christchurch, New Zealand.
