I'm Anna a registered Psychotherapist registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. I've gained experience working with government and non - government organisations within Australia and internationally. I have worked at Headspace and have been working at Child Development Solutions for years where I facilitate social skills groups for children and young people diagnosed somewhere on the Autism Spectrum and/or ADHD. I offer children, 12-25 and their families a safe space to talk about what is going on for them. In sessions I use evidence based interventions such as Art Psychotherapy, CBT and DBT.

You may feel anxious, depressed, experience recurrent unhelpful relationship patterns, have a pervasive sense of discontent or just feel stuck. I can help you understand the history of your problems and learn healthier ways to relate to yourself and others. Whether you are dealing with unresolved early trauma, need help setting better boundaries in relationships, feel you don't quite belong, are underachieving, or cannot enjoy your successes, I can help you find solutions to your immediate issues, while also exploring how your previous life experiences affect your responses, relationships and self-perception.

Are you in constant conflict with your partner? Do you find yourself disconnecting from each other over time? Relationship issues like conflicts are an integral part of a relationship. However, there is a good chance that the toxicity in the relationship has deeply wounded both. The needs of each other are ignored and arguments become less on the important issues as both are too emotionally detached to care anymore.

“I believe that every individual will experience challenges throughout their lives and that those experiences can shape the way a person can feel, think and behave with the world around them and in their interpersonal relationships. Often we attempt to protect ourselves from feeling difficult emotions through behaving in a way that is taking us away from living the life we want. I believe that building a deep understanding and connection to the core of our emotional experience can provide understanding and clarity to promote emotional and behavioural change and mental wellbeing.”

I am passionate about partnering with people to help them tolerate extreme emotion, to learn and grow and be free to choose new behaviours. I have decades of lived and years of clinical experience with Alcohol and Other Drugs use and abuse and the traumas that so often lead to it and arise from it. I have understanding of complex PTSD and the Autonomic Nervous System and the ways our experiences get laid down in our systems and repeat themselves, often causing relationship upsets.

Have you finally gotten to the point where you're struggling to manage issues you have been holding onto for years? Or Do you often find yourself feeling quite stuck in the present? With the daily hustle of life, it can become very easy to neglect parts of ourselves that really need attention. Often there are unresolved issues or traumas from the past that have never been addressed and keep coming back to remind us that they're still there and need to be attended to. Unfortunately, they can keep coming back if we continue to ignore them.

Therapy is often sought when life's discomfort exceeds our coping strategies, and can be a powerful tool for growth and healing. A safe and supportive space to explore our patterns of thought, emotion, and behaviour, can lead us to know ourselves more fully, and live more intentionally and less reactively. I love meeting people at the point in their life when they are ready for change, whether through insight, skills development, or trauma processing. I work with clients to draw the map between where they are now and where they want to be, and together we plan out what therapeutic work can help us to get there.
