Anna works with adults and has a particular interest in the emotional and psychological aspects of health and illness. She works collaboratively to identify meaningful goals to build a valued life despite ongoing concerns which may be related to health, loss, work or other stressful life events.
You may be seeking to understand a recent diagnosis, need assistance coping with losses that have occurred after an illness or injury, or perhaps you feel misunderstood by others. You may spend a lot of time thinking about physical health symptoms or be confused by health symptoms that have no clear explanation. Anna can support you to manage chronic stress that may impact on sleep, work and relationships.
Anna has a client-centred approach and uses a range of evidence-based treatments including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Anna is also passionate about improving sleep and is trained in cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).
Anna is an AHPRA board-approved supervisor and Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
