I am a Mental Health Clinician. Within my role, it has become a great passion of mine to work alongside clients to help them identify their own values, qualities and strengths. I also believe in assisting clients through a strengths based perspective to acknowledge their own history and the part it plays within their journey. I provide a space for clients that is safe and judgement free, where they are able to explore said journey and decide the path they would like to take towards their future.

You don't have to be good at art to do arts therapy. It's about self-expression and using art (collage, clay, dance, poems and puppets are OK too!) to explore issues. I first listen, ask questions and invite to do a gentle process. I'm a young professional, curious, attentive, ready to learn and get to know you while supporting you. I aim to offer creative and different ways of looking at things where perhaps talking therapy isn't quite the answer. I like humour and playfulness, especially for adults, but also children and adolescents.

Specialist areas: Exec burn out, conception loss / CNBC / Infertility, and trauma treatment. As humans, it is common for us to become distressed in circumstances that do not support our well-being. This distress or trauma may present as exhaustion, intrusive thoughts that feel outside of our control, body aches, nausea, too hot / too cold, hearing voices, feelings of dread and/ or emptiness, hyperactivity, relationship problems, anxiety & and depression. Counselling and psychotherapy have been designed to empower the client to rid themselves of these experiences so that they can live a life of fulfilment.

The Art to Wellbeing
Each person's journey toward well-being is unique, so I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your concerns and goals. Using an integrated approach to support you in achieving optimal mental and emotional health. Grounding evidence-based practices AND tailoring to your needs. I work with people of all ages and walks of life, but have extensive experience in positive parenting coaching, working with young people in high schools, and also in drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Caring is stressful, growing up can be tricky, and no one gets through life unscathed and without their own traumas.

I'm Anna. I offer a warm, calm, kind and respectful approach to your therapeutic journey. I enjoy working with adults who are interested in connecting with their own inner wisdom. I believe that many of the struggles we face in adult life stem from ways we learned to navigate and survive in the world as children, which may have worked for us then, but are no longer serving us now. Add to that the many experiences that have shaped us, especially the challenging ones and it makes sense that we might reach a point where some support is needed. My approach is holistic and incorporates the wisdom of the body as well as the mind.

When struggling with the symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief & trauma & other issues, it is hard to gain perspective to understand your experience, your emotions, your problems and to see a way forward. These things can leave you feeling frustrated, exhausted and alone. It pays to speak with a mental health professional about your situation. I can provide the opportunity for you to share and make sense of your story in a safe environment where you will be heard & understood. After sharing your story we can work on specific goals and strategies to counter problems and promote more effective approaches.
