About Anne Evans

Welcome! I’m Anne

My mission is to support clients in their journey to heal and grow, helping them build confidence and empowering them to live authentically. Our mental well-being affects every aspect of our lives, and by strengthening our mental resilience, we can create a deeper sense of inner peace and contentment.

As a trained counsellor, psychotherapist, and experienced trauma therapist, I bring both academic training and practical experience to our work together. I am an award winning therapist embracing the full realm of mental health challenges. I am here to help you understand your personal history, support you through the counselling process, and gently guide you towards healing and wholeness with respect and empathy.

My Journey
I came to this work later in life, following my own transformative experiences in my late 30s. These personal challenges sparked a profound understanding of the power of psychotherapy and personal growth, inspiring me to help others discover their own path to healing.

How I Can Help You
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties, I’m here to help. With over a decade of experience and recognition in my field, I provide a safe and compassionate environment for clients to explore, understand, and resolve life’s challenges.

Together, we’ll work through your experiences, gain insights, and develop the tools needed to build emotional resilience. I’m here to guide you as you cultivate an empowered mindset, allowing you to thrive and live a fulfilling life.

If you’re ready to move beyond emotional pain and embrace well-being, let’s talk about how I can support you on this journey.

My Journey and Approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy

A challenging period in my life became a catalyst for transformation, leading me to return to study and retrain as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. This journey ignited a deep passion for mental well-being, which has only grown over time.

I began my career in the not-for-profit sector, where I worked with various community organisations, solidifying my skills and experience. In 2014, I transitioned into private practice, where I could focus on areas of personal interest such as trauma, attachment disorders, anger, and relationship issues. My practice naturally evolved into a specialisation in Men’s Health, working extensively with men on anger management and early childhood trauma.

Professional Background
I hold a Bachelor of Arts/Social Sciences from Monash University, a Vocational Graduate Certificate in Bereavement Counselling & Intervention from the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement, and a Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy & Counselling from The Cairnmillar Institute.

My Approach
My therapeutic style is natural and integrative, focusing on creating a safe and affirming environment where clients feel empowered and enriched. I work across a wide spectrum of life events, drawing on clients’ unique life experiences, inherent strengths, and capacity for growth to foster meaningful change.

Reaching out for support can be daunting, especially with someone new. I strive to be open, approachable, and to ease any apprehensions you may have about the counselling process from the very beginning.

Online Counselling
My online counselling services are designed to be as effective and high-quality as traditional therapy. As an expert in the field, I am dedicated to facilitating your healing and growth, ensuring that you experience positive, tangible outcomes throughout our journey together. My goal is to make your online counselling experience both empowering and transformative.

Results Driven and Caring Approach To Counselling

It is of the utmost importance to me that you have a positive encounter at every step of the process, from contacting me, to making the appointment through to actually walking in the door to see me. If all of that goes well, then we are well on our way to ensuring you get a wonderful outcome. And you should expect a very good outcome.

What is counselling and therapy? Well in my world therapy is a two-way journey, in that we work together as a team, navigating our way through your issues, concerns and struggles. In this way a supportive environment is created that creates positive outcomes, new possibilities and better ways to cope and manage. So if you have a true desire to change, and are open to learning about yourself then I will match your commitment step-by-step until together we have changed the landscape of your everyday life.

When you are in my safe space you get to be yourself without any fear of judgement. You can let down the barriers, take off your everyday mask, and really feel seen and heard. In this way we explore who you really are; who you want to be; and work towards your goals.

The next thing you should know is that whilst my business may have a big brand name in truth it’s just me. By keeping my counselling practice small this allows me to work closely with every, single client. I deeply care about the welfare of my clients and believe that developing an authentic and real connection is an important basis on which to do therapy. So, having a single person practice suits me. The big brand name thing is really there for Google’s sake.

If you are curious about my qualifications then let me reassure you that I have all the requisite qualifications and experience to do the work I do but you can find more on our FAQ page here. I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist.

I would describe my style of working as natural and integrative. I work across the whole spectrum of life events and utilise the client’s life experience as the main vehicle with which to facilitate change. I work from a place where everything in one’s life experience is connected and it is my job to help develop and grow the awareness of how these connections impact our everyday lives and experiences. My job is to help uncover the reason for the problem, where it began, and how best to find ways to resolve it.

I also work from a strength-based approach, which means I focus on the good things about you. Our work together will empower you to take ownership of your life. We do this through developing self- awareness, focusing on self-reflection, accepting all parts of oneself, working on difficult emotions, improved communication, and replacing negative beliefs with positive ones. Evidence-based therapies form part of the work including cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnosis, skills training, interpersonal and psychodynamic therapy, relaxation strategies and motivational interviewing all underpinned by a person-centred approach.

So, that is a bit about me. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or if you would like to book an appointment.
