About Anna
I am a counsellor and holistic therapist based in South Brighton, Christchurch. Being client-centred, I focus on what people want to get out of counselling and therapy with me. I work alongside people with warmth, curiosity and respect, helping them reconnect with their own wisdom and capacity for healing and leading a fulfilling life.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I draw from my own life experience and almost 20 years of professional training and experience. I have trained in a wide variety of therapies, including narrative, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapies, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and individuals, and more body-mind based approaches, such as Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting and Havening.
I have also trained in trauma-informed movement, mindfulness, meditation and practices that build self-awareness and self-compassion while processing trauma and facilitating integration.
I work with individuals and couples, facilitate groups and retreats, and offer professional supervision. I am also an accredited ACC counsellor.
