About Anne

Anne Stensletten is a registered psychologist in Australia with four years of professional therapy experience. She previously worked in another field for many years before moving into clinical work. Anne helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and experiences of abuse.

She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Her background includes work with neurodivergence such as autism and with learning disabilities. Anne has an interest in assisting people who live with chronic pain, illness or disability.

In sessions she treats the person as the expert of their own story. She looks for existing strengths and practical steps clients can use between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, usable changes rather than long theory.

Anne’s approach is suitable for someone who wants clear, practical help with everyday problems. She aims to help people reduce day-to-day stress and rebuild confidence after relationship strain or traumatic events. People who appreciate a direct style and concrete tools often find this useful.

Anne works in English and Norwegian. Her practice is based in Australia and she has four years of clinical experience since moving into the mental health field. Before booking, confirm current session options and any other practical details that matter to you.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Trauma-informed strategies aim to help people process distressing experiences at a pace that feels manageable, supporting recovery from abuse or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins and sessions that suit work breaks or other everyday rhythms. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can use a range of methods to adapt therapy to your circumstances, and Anne can discuss what will work best when you arrange your first appointment.
