Over two decades of work means Anne has seen many kinds of problems. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and eating concerns. She also supports people facing career shifts, parenting strain and life changes.
Anne often helps people who deal with ADHD, communication problems, multicultural issues and first responder stress. She also works with ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, post-traumatic stress and self-harm concerns. The aim is to address immediate needs while building practical skills for everyday life.
Sessions are arranged through an online matching and booking process that uses a subscription which can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted. To start, a short questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Anne draws on a small set of evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; these methods can be useful for social anxiety, phobias and everyday worry. Behavioural techniques include graded exposure and activity scheduling to help people face feared situations in manageable steps. Brief skills coaching teaches practical strategies for stress management, coping with mood changes and improving communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Anne will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The aim is collaborative decision-making rather than a fixed programme.
The exact online session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and flexible scheduling that can be cancelled according to the subscription terms.
