Individual psychotherapeutic support, tailored to you.
Services
Anna’s therapeutic approach is informed by the following evidence-based modalities and thoughtfully tailored to each individual:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you stop fighting your thoughts and feelings, and start focusing on what really matters to you. Instead of trying to “fix” every uncomfortable emotion, you learn skills to handle them and still move forward. It’s about living a meaningful life in alignment with your values, even when things are hard.
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
IFS acknowledges that we are made up of different “parts”, such as a critical part, a protective part, or a vulnerable part, and each developed to help us cope with difficulty. In therapy, we gently explore these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than trying to get rid of them. As you learn to understand your parts, you can access your “core self”, which is naturally calm, wise, and capable of quietening the parts, and leading your inner system.
Attachment Theory
Attachment theory explores how early relationships with caregivers shape the way you connect with others now. It can help explain why closeness feels easy, hard or overwhelming. Understanding your attachment style provides valuable insight into difficulties within relationships and can serve as a platform for healing and change.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is based on the assumption that you already possess strengths and resources that can be mobilised toward change. It identifies what is working well for you now and how to build more of it. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that move you toward your preferred future. It’s goal-focused and future-oriented.
Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy (PIT)
PIT looks at patterns in your relationships and how they may be linked to earlier experiences. By understanding these patterns, you can start to respond differently in the present. It’s reflective and focused on emotional insight.
“I had a very positive experience working with Anna, who is incredibly kind, supportive, and patient. She guided me through a very difficult time and helped me gain a new perspective that changed the trajectory of my life for the better. She made me feel comfortable opening up about sensitive topics that are often difficult to talk about, while also gently challenging my thoughts and beliefs in a constructive way. Through our sessions, I developed greater self-awareness, confidence, and practical strategies that I continue to use on a daily basis. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and compassionate counsellor who has a genuine passion for helping others."
