Hello, I’m Anson — an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker qualified to provide psychotherapy under Medicare Better Access, meaning you can claim a Medicare rebate for eligible sessions. I support older children, adolescents, young adults, and their families through life’s most challenging moments, including depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, identity confusion, self-harm, and relationship difficulties.
With a decade of experience in mental health across Australia and New Zealand, I blend practical tools with deep emotional and relational work. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct — balancing the importance of connection with the need for meaningful change.
💬 What therapy with me is like
• We work together, at your pace
• We focus on reducing distress and building a fulfilling future
• I involve family when helpful, empowering caregivers to support recovery
• I honor identity, autonomy, and lived experience
I integrate a range of evidence-based therapies including CBT-E, DBT, ACT, ABFT, FBT for Anorexia Nervosa, and systemic family approaches.
🌟 Who I support
✔ Adolescents & young adults navigating:
• Depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD
• Eating disorders
• Intense emotions, self-harm & suicidality
• Identity questions & existential emptiness
• Relationship, school & life transition stress
✔ Parents & families facing:
• Conflict, disconnection, or communication breakdowns
• Oppositional behaviour, aggression, truancy or risk concerns
• Parenting while living with trauma yourself
• Domestic violence impact or complex family dynamics
🙌 My values as a therapist
• Neuro-affirming
• Gender & sexuality-affirming
• Trauma-informed
• Systemically aware
• No blame — we seek understanding, not fault
🚫 When I may not be the best fit
• Severe ASD (Level 3) or primary focus on functional skill development
• Couples or romantic relationship counselling
• Severe substance use requiring specialist treatment
If I’m not the right person, I’ll help guide you to someone who is.

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
