Anne Stensletten

Anne Stensletten is an AHPRA-registered psychologist with four years of clinical experience in Australia. She draws on prior work in a different field to bring a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Anne focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression while supporting those facing relationship strains and the impact of trauma and abuse.

She listens for strengths in each person’s story and helps them use those strengths to move forward. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters right now. Anne encourages small, realistic steps that build confidence and make daily life easier.

Her work also includes support for people with neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD, and those living with chronic pain or long-term illness. She pays attention to how these issues affect routines, communication and self-worth. Practical strategies are adapted to each person’s needs and pace.

People who are dealing with separation or divorce, family of origin problems, or feelings of abandonment and shame will find help with managing emotions and practical decision-making. Anne aims to reduce overwhelm and help clients regain a sense of control over next steps.

Sessions are delivered in plain language with a collaborative tone. She believes taking the first step takes courage and offers a calm, steady presence while clients work towards clearer priorities and better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she employs helps people break problems into smaller, manageable steps and build routines that reduce stress and overwhelm. This method suits anxiety, low mood, and the day-to-day impact of separation or chronic illness.

Another approach emphasises understanding how past experiences affect present feelings and relationships. It helps people make sense of trauma, family of origin issues, and patterns like avoidance or dependent behaviours so they can choose different responses in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try strategies together to see what fits. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats directly before booking because formats are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits the person. Discuss format choices when you start so sessions match your needs and schedule.
