We grow,

& change
in relationship.
I’m Anna, a counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer online sessions from Dharawal Country in the Illawarra.
Therapy with me is a place to harness the power of relationship.
You may have already been ‘working on yourself’ for many years. Perhaps you’ve learnt where some of your behaviours stem from, how patterns have formed.
And, you find that insight is not enough for change to actually happen on a deeper level.
Instead, the same patterns keep playing out:
➾ Choosing partners who never seem able to show up for the type of relationship you desire. (Or fearing that you’ll lose the great relationship you’ve now found)
➾ Feeling yourself shrink, withdraw or stay silent - when actually, you want connection.
➾ Pretzel-ling yourself around others - and realising, in the process, that your needs got left behind long ago. Ouch.
➾ Wondering if you are too much, or not enough, for others.
➾ A sense, deep within you, that you’ve left yourself behind somewhere along the way – and a longing to “feel you” again.
➾ Feeling caught in relationship loops, triggers and dynamics that aren’t working, but not sure how to change things.
None of these things are problems to be fixed.
They are doorways - into a clearer, more fulfilling and lasting connection with yourself, and your world.
In our sessions, we’re not trying to analyse, or fix, anything. We’re staying with what’s happening, together - giving gentle, curious, compassionate attention to all of your experiences.
And, as we do - things often become clearer and free to move.
New possibilities for how you experience yourself, others and your world slowly begin to emerge and take shape within you.
It can be that simple.
Change emerges naturally, not through effort and reaching - but through meeting yourself.
Over time, your relationship with your self becomes clearer and more stable - and you consistently gain more choice and freedom in your life and your relationships with others.
It was the gentle way you hold space for absolutely anything. I felt really heard and understood - and beyond that - really equipped, and empowered.
It’s been life-changing.
