Welcome! I’m delighted to have you here.

My name is Anna. I am a registered psychologist with over 15 years experience in private practice and 20 years working in the Mental Health and wellbeing space.

I specialise in treating adult clients presenting with anxiety, acute or chronic stress, burnout, depression, unresolved emotional traumas and stress, relationship difficulties and issues around self worth and confidence.

My aim is to work collaboratively with individuals to build a trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship. I focus on supporting clients to feel seen, heard, and understood in their life experiences, inviting the opportunity to meet all aspects of themselves with openness, acceptance, kindness, and care, while helping them reconnect with the essence of their true self.

My work integrates a range of holistic, integrative therapeutic modalities, including; mindfulness based interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Emotional Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

Sessions may involve getting to the root cause of symptoms, processing unresolved childhood wounds and trauma.  In addition, our work may include building practical resources to enhance an experience of safety, building capacity to cope with adversity and connect more authentically with self, others and the environment.

Sessions may also support clients to find freedom from old thought patterns, which may be keeping them stuck in unhelpful emotional and behavioural patterns and symptoms.

In my experience, when we can support greater resourcing in the present, whilst simultaneously processing and resolving the emergence of outdated patterns of coping in the past, a more holistic, empowering and integrated experience of healing can occur.

I am based in the picturesque Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne. In addition to my work as a psychologist, I am also a yoga teacher, meditation teacher and mother to two beautiful children.
