Hosted and maintained by


Claire E. MacDonald, M.A.

Counsellor & Psychotherapist







This site is designed to achieve a number of goals.


  1. Tell you about me and my work as a Psychotherapist.
  2. Link you to my other site at The Psychotherapy Pages at The RainbowZone, where you can learn more things about me, my work and other interests that I have.
  3. Provide Links to other sites that I have found to be useful or interesting - and fun, too. Please note, when I add a link to my pages I have taken the time to check out the content and quality of the pages. HOWEVER, I do not spend my time continually policing these sites. I give you this information in the hope that you might find something of interest. I expect every reader to approach new information with the attitude, "What is here that speaks to me?" I don't intend that referenced sites are to be regarded as necessary reading, nor do I have to agree with all of their content.

    I am making suggestions here, not giving advice! If you are looking for specific information or for an on-going conversation or exchange if they are applicable please visit; The RainbowZone HIV Forum , or The RainbowZone Breast Cancer Forum.

    e-mail
    Or, you can contact me by e-mail and we can talk, privately.


  4. Beginning February 1999, if you would like to talk with me directly I can be reached on-line in my Chat Room. In the future I may set up a regular scehdule of times on-line, but for now send me an e-mail and we can discuss what time to meet.

    You can also check the message (at left) to see if I am on-line right now.
    Please note, that if I am on-line and you click on this icon you automatically will enter my Chat Room

  5. Finally, I hope that this site can become a resource and reference source for anyone who is interested in Therapy or any of the other topics that I may be discussing - see LINKS, below for more information.




Let me start by telling you something about myself.


Canada mapMy name is Claire and I live in Toronto, Canada. As I said, I am a Psychotherapist and I have been in Private practise here for almost a decade.




I received my training, in Adlerian Psychology, from the Adler School of Professional Psychology, Chicago
Adler School of Professional Psychology, Chicago (most Canadians go to a public university for graduate training in psychology, so a Professional School is usually a new idea for us). After finishing my Practicum, here in Toronto at the Adler School of Professional Psychology, Ontario, I received a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology.





What I do.

I also provide education and support for people living with chronic or life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, endometriosis, etc. pink ribbon

I work with Guided Imagery (Meditation) and Relaxation to provide focused support and direction for people with major illnesses, as well as using these trechniques as part of a coping strategy for managing anger, stress, depression, panic, anxiety, etc.
