Anne works with children, adolescents and adults using any of the range of creative arts to facilitate self-expression leading to clarity and/or new knowings. An artistic flair is not necessary for this way of working as the emphasis is on expression, not creating works of art. She is also an EMDR therapy practitioner, which is uniquely useful for the processing of all types of trauma. Through her training as a pre-school teacher, and as an arts therapist, she also uses play therapy with children to help them explore their troubles in their natural medium, play. These modes of working together with clients can be used interchangeably as they compliment each other well. Areas of Practice: Insomnia, Anxiety, Depression, Abuse, Autism Spectrum, lack of confidence, anger management, dissociative identity disorder, stress

I'm a registered psychologist based on the Sunshine Coast offering telehealth appointments to adults and adolescents (12 and over) across Australia, with in-person sessions available on Fridays at Sippy Downs. My practice is neuroaffirming and strengths-based — which means I'm not interested in changing who you are. I'm interested in helping you understand yourself well enough to stop getting in your own way. A lot of my clients are people who feel like they've been working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up. Sometimes that exhaustion has a name — ADHD, Autism, AuDHD — and sometimes it doesn't fit neatly into any category. Whatever brings you here, you're welcome. Sessions are a bit like having coffee with a friend who happens to know a lot about how brains work. Conversational, collaborative, no formal script. You can think out loud, go off on tangents, say "I don't know" as many times as you need to. Telehealth appointments are available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Medicare rebates apply with a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP. NDIS plan-managed and self-managed clients welcome. Specialties/areas of practice: ADHD Autism Spectrum Disorder AuDHD Anxiety Depression Burnout Neurodivergent adolescents and adults Identity and self-understanding Telehealth psychology
