Welcome.
You may be here with deep questions, difficult emotions, finding yourself in a transition, a painful loss, or with relationships that are feeling challenging. I meet people in all kinds of places, and we begin from there.
I’m Anna. I’m a psychotherapist, counsellor and massage therapist practicing from Dharawal country. My work is rooted in a deep respect for the body, for relationship, and for the intelligence within each of us.
I work with people who are longing for reconnection with themselves, their relationships, and their sense of possibility. My approach is gentle and intuitive, grounded in presence. Together, we follow what arises: slowly, respectfully, and in your own time.
My practice is shaped by
༄ Person-centred and attachment-informed foundations
༄ Body-based approaches, supporting somatic awareness
༄ Narrative-based and nature-informed approaches to healing and meaning-making
༄ A lifelong creative arts practice that continues to shape how I connect with and support others
Whether through individual psychotherapy, group spaces, or bodywork - clients often describe our work together as safe, slow, spacious and grounded. They say they feel met with care, respect and non-judgmental curiosity - never as a “problem to fix”, but as a whole, creative and multi-faceted being.
“The spaces you hold are very sweet. I feel a safety that allows me to open in a very special way” - Carmen, group program participant
What guides me in this work
I believe that when we are truly met, without pressure or agenda, but with curiosity and respect - something within us begins to soften and feel a sense of safety. From that place of interpersonal connection, our own unique sense of aliveness can start to re-emerge.
This is the essence of my work; creating spaces where we can dare to feel and express, and begin to imagine and create new possibilities for how we live, relate, and move in the world.
"Anna creates a safe space that allows me to relax into the truth of my experience in any moment. I feel held and I can explore what I need." - Marina, counselling client
My background and experience
Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked across diverse settings, always with a focus on connection and expression.
༄ As a psychotherapist and counsellor supporting individuals and groups
༄ As a somatic massage therapist working with people of diverse ages and physical conditions
༄ As a teacher, creative arts facilitator, and community worker
༄ In schools, community organisations, local councils and cultural institutions.
These experiences have led me to understand me that healing is never one-size-fits-all, and that meaningful change most often begins in the presence of genuine connection.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy, a Masters by Research in Creative Arts, and a Graduate Diploma in Education (Visual Arts), alongside extensive additional training in trauma-informed, body-based and relational approaches. I continue to engage in regular supervision and professional development to ensure my work stays responsive to your unique needs.
