Welcome
I’m Anne
As a body-mind counsellor and somatic psychotherapist, I support people to live in a more compassionate and embodied way, without doing more, earning more or having more. With deep respect for each person’s path, we travel together awakening hidden gifts beneath our day to day lives and moving beyond the overwhelming experiences that hold us back.
Since starting my own healing journey at 21, the joys and challenges of family, loss, work and relationship have been the landscape of my training. I am strongly influenced by contemplative and movement practice, conscious parenting, experiential learning, mindful sexuality and somatic meditation. I help people who are experiencing traumatic responses and work with groups in a trauma-sensitive way .
I hold a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and over the last 20 years have completed specialist somatic training in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Hakomi Embodied and Aware Relationship Therapy (HEART) and NeuroAffective Touch. I am in the midst of Intermediate level of Somatic Experiencing.
As a registered clinical member of the Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (no. 23513), I participate in regular supervision to support therapeutic effectiveness and ethical practice.

What is Somatic Psychotherapy?
Whatever brings us here, it probably started with new or old ‘unprocessed’ experiences, that become stored in our system.
Somatic psychotherapy of body-mind counselling supports healing by tapping into our innate capacity to release stuck experiences, and repair and rewire patterns that no longer serve us. By incorporating the body and mind in an integrated way, we can move beyond stories and support change in a deeper and more sustainable way than just talking.
Somatic (body inclusive) approaches call us to reconnect with our nature through aligning our body, mind and heart, making healing possible for us, and beyond us.

Sessions
It’s an act of courage to really meet ourselves where we are and take steps towards a new way of being. Sessions and treatment are personalised to help improve well being and psychological health if:
- You’ve been impacted over by a big change or event
- A pattern in your relationships isn’t working
- You feel a sense of emptiness or loss
- You’re exhausted and over-committed
- A habit is taking a toll on your wellbeing
- You feel separate and long for connection
- You’re at a turning point or life transition
- Your fuse is short or you’re extra sensitive
- You feel flat and want to find your spark.
Body mind counselling and somatic psychotherapy sessions can support you unblock stuck patterns, increase intuitive clarity, reduce tension and connect you with a more calm, stable, embodied state and equip you with inner resources you can call on when needed.
Sessions are typically 1 hour, and we meet in person, by video conference or phone. Extended length sessions are available if needed.
Workshops & events
I run workshops for parents about preparing for meeting your child’s teen years, and for teachers and school staff about grieving students. I also hold circles for women to explore embodiment and personal growth. Register with the contact form below to be kept in the loop about upcoming offerings.

Online circle for women
A confidential place to be supported, heal and grow
We are connection and movement before anything else. We all begin life in the safe, warm surrounds of a body. And we are designed to be birthed into community. To be included.
But in the cut and thrust of modern life we can lose our connection with ourselves and with others. We might avoid conflict and difficult conversations. Or perhaps our relationships stay on the surface when we want to dive deep.
Healthy, vibrant, resilient relationships are our bedrock, our birthright. And we have the inbuilt technology to build and sustain them. Through deep sharing, truth and practices for nervous system regulation, awareness and embodiment, this confidential circle will offer the kind of growth only possible through the container of relationship.
