A Little Bit About Anna

​

Psychotherapist

​​

Anna is a Psychotherapist with four years of clinical training in Gestalt Psychotherapy through Gestalt Therapy Australia. She brings over 20 years’ experience in Parent Education, Out of Home Care and Family Services.

Anna works with children, young people and adults, supporting those experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioural and relationship difficulties, unresolved trauma, sudden life changes and chronic health issues.

She has a particular interest in working with parents who are experiencing challenges with their children or within their families. 

Anna’s therapeutic approach is relational and trauma-informed, integrating Gestalt therapy and somatic (body-based) awareness. At the heart of her work is deep listening and presence. She meets what is happening with curiosity and compassion, supporting clients to develop awareness, integrate experience and build capacity to meet life’s challenges with greater flexibility. 

In her work with children and young people Anna builds connection and trust with sand tray therapy, art and play. Anna encourages a shift for both children, young people and parents/carers in how we interpret behaviour, and supports an approach that leads to connection, healing and an empowered, resilient sense of self for the child or young person. 

Outside of work, Anna enjoys walking her dogs along the beaches and trails of South Gippsland, spinning and knitting with wool from her alpacas, tending to her bees, and gardening on her two-acre property.
