Philosophy & Vision
Anne offers sessions from her peaceful property in Oxford Falls (Sydney Northern Beaches), face to face, via phone or online. She believes wholeheartedly in the ability of all people to evolve and grow and views her role as a therapist as a benevolent witness guiding her clients toward their own inner wisdom, while holding a therapeutic space of loving kindness.
Background
With a background in the performing arts (NIDA graduate), Anne's understanding of the frailties of the human condition runs deep. In recent years Anne has studied Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy at the Jansen Newman Institute in Sydney (Graduate Diploma) and continues to develop her psycho-therapeutic skills in Existential Therapy and Advanced Clinical Training in Gestalt Therapy, in order to stay abreast of contemporary best practice. She has a deep-seated belief in the actualising tendency of all people.
Services
Individual therapy: Anne has a deep faith in the ability of human beings to heal themselves. Common to most people is a deep core shame that inhibits their ability to live fully, with access to the full range of emotion and experience. Annie creates a safe space where she supports you in the exploration, expression and ultimate healing of this woundedness, so that you can begin to make space for the expansive, unconditioned essence of who you truly are to shine.

Therapy Approach
We are such complex beings, us humans. We are all unique products of our individual social, biological and environmental conditioning. From birth to death we evolve in multiple directions and dimensions and for this reason I use an integrative, flexible approach, underpinned by Gestalt, Existential and Psycho-dynamic theory, in order to more accurately meet your individual needs.
