Imagine a tool that sets client tasks and reminders, tracks their progress between sessions, and gathers real-time insights on their thoughts & feelings - all without adding extra work for you. ANTSA keeps you connected and ensures key points are ready for discussion at their next session.

Who founded ANTSA?

Sally-Anne McCormack is a Clinical Psychologist, founder and director of ANTSA Pty Ltd. With over two decades of experience supporting clients across the lifespan, she strongly believes that “therapy takes place between the sessions.” Her vision is grounded in empowering practitioners to inspire, motivate, and monitor their clients regularly—without the added burden that often leads to clinician stress and burnout.

In 2021, following hip surgery and time away from her practice, Sally-Anne began reflecting on how she could continue to support her clients during periods between appointments. This reflection evolved into two years of research and development, ultimately leading to the creation of ANTSA—a digital mental health platform designed to help practitioners stay connected with clients, assign tasks, track mood, and reduce administrative load in a clinically sound and effective way.

Thanks to Sally-Anne’s clinical insight and commitment to innovation, ANTSA includes a suite of tools to support client engagement—most notably jAImee, the world’s first clinician-supervised AI therapy chatbot. jAImee helps clients stay on track between sessions by offering psychoeducation, therapeutic conversations, and encouragement—always under the oversight of their treating practitioner.

Sally-Anne’s leadership and innovation in mental health and technology have been recognised with multiple national and international honours:

Why do you need ANTSA?

As mental health practitioners, we dedicate our lives to helping others. Do we make a difference? Are our clients completing the activities we set? Do they practice our strategies? Educate themselves about their mental health?

21% of Australians experience mental illness every year, and almost half of us (42.9%) are affected by mental illness at some stage in our lives (ABS 2023). Statistics show us that 3.4 million Aussies seek help, and there are times when we are close to burn-out. 

We know that we need a better work-life balance.  However, we worry about our clients and how they are managing from one session to the next.  We don't have the time to remind them daily to complete their tasks, and when we see them, it's often hard to sort through what has happened in that time apart. And how many of us find our clients say a "door-knob disclosure" right at the end of the session because they couldn't get to the crux of their issues in a straight-forward way?

What are the benefits of ANTSA?

ANTSA streamlines and automates the scheduling and tracking of homework assignments, allows clients to provide feedback to their practitioner, provides a wealth of information and resources on mental health, enabling clients to further understand their conditions.
