About Anna

My therapy approach is warm, genuine, and non-judgemental. I practice from a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming approach.

I place great value in creating a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I work in a collaborative and holistic way to help individuals shift unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns, to find better ways to manage their difficulties and achieve a greater sense of wellbeing.

I assist my clients to nurture self-acceptance, self-compassion, increase resilience, feel more empowered, and better align with their core values.

I am a fully registered Psychologist with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (APHRA). I have completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at the University of Sydney and a Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree at the University of Newcastle.

I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience having worked across a number of public and private health settings including hospitals, outpatient community-based services, and private practice.

I enjoy constantly learning and expanding my knowledge base. I have advanced training and experience in a range of evidence-based psychological therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I have also been involved in mental health research and in 2015, my Doctoral research manuscript investigating cognitive deficits in Schizophrenia was published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology.
