Welcome
I’m Anne
As a somatic psychotherapist and body-mind counsellor, 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 strengths and path, we travel together awakening hidden gifts beneath our day to day lives and moving beyond overwhelming experiences that hold us back.
Since starting my own healing journey at 21, the joys and challenges of early adversity, family, loss, trauma, work and relationship have been the landscape of my training. I am strongly influenced by internal parts-work, contemplative and movement practises, conscious parenting and experiential learning, mindful sexuality and somatic meditation. I help people with challenging traumatic responses to process and integrate their experiences, and I work with groups in a trauma-sensitive way.
I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), hold a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and over the last 20 years have also graduated from professional trainings in NeuroAffective Touch, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy and Hakomi Embodied and Aware Relationship Therapy.
As a registered clinical member of the Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (no. 23513), I participate in regular supervision and professional development to support therapeutic effectiveness and ethical practice.

What is Somatic Psychotherapy?
Whatever brings us here, it probably started with ‘unprocessed’ experiences, that become stored in our system.
Somatic psychotherapy supports healing by tapping into our innate capacity to release stuck experiences, and repair and rewire patterns that no longer serve us. By understanding survival physiology, and incorporating 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.
Body inclusive approaches call us to reconnect with our nature through aligning our body, mind and heart, making healing possible for us, and extending to the world 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 by a big change, event or loss
- A pattern in your relationships isn’t working
- A pattern in your relationships or habit is taking a toll
- You feel a sense of emptiness or lack of connection
- You’re exhausted and over-committed
- You’re reactive and your fuse is short
- You’re at a turning point
- You’re navigating a mid-life transition
- You’ve reached an end-point with your current therapy
- You feel flat and want to find your spark
Somatic psychotherapy sessions can support you unblock stuck patterns, process and integrate trauma, increase intuitive clarity, reduce tension and connect you with a more calm, stable, embodied state as a native resource you can call on whenever needed.
Sessions are typically 50 mins, 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 practises for nervous system regulation, awareness and embodiment, this confidential circle will offer the kind of growth only possible through the container of relationship.
