I’m a registered psychologist with an immigrant background, having grown up in Australia. I understand the challenges of navigating mental health support and finding the right therapist.
My goal is to help clients gain clarity, build resilience and work through emotional barriers effectively.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder and intellectual disability. My approach to therapy is honest, upfront and supportive, prioritising a strong therapeutic relationship while creating a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. I integrate a range of evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Intensive Short-Term Psychodynamic Therapy (ISTDP), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailoring each session to the individual’s needs.
Outside of work I love exploring new restaurants, experimenting in the kitchen and collecting things.
Areas of interest include
Trauma and cPTSD
Neurodiversity (ADHD, intellectual disability, etc.)
Mood and personality disorders
Identity and cultural adjustment
Emotional regulation
Self-compassion and self-worth

The director of The Therapy Hub and host of the podcast This Complex Life
Welcome. I help individuals and couples want to be happy, confident, and live meaningfully. Sometimes we’re weighed down by anxiety, stress, depression or trauma. School, work, relationships, identity, and/or self-esteem issues can make life difficult to enjoy. This can often leave us feeling stuck.
Life can be tough. I understand, and I’m here to help. Together we’ll figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how to get you there.
I work as a couple and individual therapist, using EMDR Therapy intensives, Gottman Couples Therapy Marathon intensives as well as regular weekly or fortnightly sessions.
I incorporate a range of techniques such as Gottman Couples Therapy, ACT, CBT, EMDR and mindfulness in my work to support you in this process.
What else can I tell you about myself? I’m a little bit of a nerd and don’t take myself too seriously – life’s too short! I’m your classic animal lover, especially dogs. I love the great outdoors – hiking and camping (except I hate mosquitoes!)
My approach to therapy is direct, yet genuine and supportive. I have a sense of humour about myself, and I encourage my clients to adopt the same attitude. I am incredibly enthusiastic and I am excited to work together and create meaningful and lasting change in your life.
Everything we talk about is just between the people in the room (unless there are safety concerns, I’ll explain all that to you in our first session). Think of me as your trusted confidant. Someone who is ready to listen, never judge – but also be honest with you in order to bring forward positive change.
You can learn more about me on my podcast This Complex Life or my YouTube channel
‘’I’m 100% invested in this process. I am passionate about helping people feel understood and heard. Overcome past painful experiences and helping couples and families increase connection with one another.’’

I am a registered counsellor. I have been working with adolescents, young adults and adults for over ten years.
I consider the role of counsellor to be a privilege. Humour is the biggest strength I bring to the counselling space.
I am particularly interested in Men’s mental health and strive to create a safe space for open discussions around feelings, emotions and challenges that men face. The quality of our working relationship has a significant impact on the counselling process. We will work collaboratively to help increase your self-awareness of your relationship with yourself and others and explore any obstacles preventing you from living your best life by helping you develop the skills to achieve it.
Although various counselling modalities exist, I will use a combination of approaches, including person-centred (client-led), solution-focused, and CBT.
At times you may laugh with me, and more often than not, you will laugh at me…but it’s all part of the fun. In my downtime, I enjoy a hike in the middle of nowhere, my martial arts class, drawing if I am not doing some woodwork or learning about the latest tech gadgets.
“We don’t know what we don’t know. That’s where counselling can help shed light on what we can change. As Andy Andrews said, ‘Every good thing that has happened in your life happened because something changed.'”

I come to The Therpay Hub with years of experience working in clinics in the Inner West. It can be daunting starting this process for the first time and Anne is passionate about helping people find the right fit for themselves or their family. When not working she’s trying her best to have a thriving veggie garden (that can withstand the attentions of a helpful toddler).
I work at The Therapy Hub a combination of remote and in the office. (Mostly remote at the moment). Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays

I utilise a variety of modalities and collaborate with clients to choose the best approach, drawing from methods such as Narrative Therapy, Trauma-focused CBT, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Complicated Grief Therapy, and Family Therapy.
