About Anne
Anne (she/her) is a gestalt psychotherapist, registered to practice as an advanced trainee. She has a warm, considered, and down to earth manner. Anne knows first-hand how daunting it can be to take steps towards healing and growth. She understands how opening up to another requires a felt sense of trust and safety, a knowing that we will be met by someone ‘big’ enough to hold all that we are with compassion.
Gestalt therapy enhances self-awareness and our capacity to become more choiceful about how we respond to our thoughts and feelings, others and situations. Client and therapist work relationally, holistically and creatively, with an emphasis on what is emerging in the ‘here and now’ of a therapy session.
Anne is comfortable working with anyone over 25 who chooses to work with her. She opposes conversion therapy, and strives to be anti-oppressive, neurodivergent aware, and trauma sensitive. She is committed to inclusion and social justice.

- Ageing
- Belonging
