Psychologist
Small Steps Matter was founded on a core belief: that significant progress comes from taking many small steps. This philosophy applies really well to health challenges like type 2 diabetes and obesity, where sustained, manageable changes are key to long-term success.
The practice was founded by Ana Guinea, our principal psychologist. Ana has dedicated her advanced studies to understanding the intricate relationship between mind and body, completing a Master of Science in Medicine with a focus on Metabolic Health (Diabetes and Obesity) from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney. Her background and expertise are central to the evidence-based programs we offer.
The Master program was developed and delivered by international leaders in the field of diabetes and metabolic health with intensive face-to-face components held in the University of Sydney’s state-of-the-art Charles Perkins Centre research and education hub.
Ana is able to provide services under Medicare (Provider no. 5517251T). She is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA) and is a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
We understand the complexities of health challenges and aim to provide a supportive, informed space for you to make meaningful changes. Our approach is rooted in evidence and tailored to you, recognising that your journey is unique.
