About F.
F. Anne Sebastian is a PACFA clinical member counsellor with 12 years of practice in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and related patterns that make social situations hard.
Anne helps adults, young adults and adolescents. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She listens for what gets in the way of speaking up, joining groups or managing fear of being watched, and then tries small, practical adjustments that feel manageable.
Her work often looks at family of origin issues, communication problems and patterns of avoidance that affect relationships. She supports people who struggle with body image, eating-related issues, codependency, and control or commitment difficulties. This includes helping carers manage stress and blended family challenges.
Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the concern and the person. She explains options in plain terms and helps people choose an approach they can work with. Sessions include planning steps, practising skills and reviewing what changes or barriers appear.
She offers therapy in English and Malay. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, follow the online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Practical approaches and online sessions
Anne commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building skills. One approach helps people notice and test fearful thoughts in social situations, then try manageable exposures to reduce avoidance and increase confidence. Another approach centres on processing distress from past hurt and abuse, helping people reduce intense reactions and improve how they cope now.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, consider the client’s goals and preferences, and then agree on a plan that can be adjusted over time. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay practical and workable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from familiar surroundings. It can also let people try conversations without needing to be in the same room, which some find a helpful step when social situations feel difficult.
