How Anna works
Their practice also includes work around addictions, compassion fatigue and ADHD challenges. Relationship concerns are a particular focus, including intimacy-related issues, non-monogamous dynamics and sexual health matters such as HIV or gender dysphoria. Anna also helps people manage anger, career worries and low self-esteem.
First responder issues and family-related stress are part of their wider practice. In sessions Anna uses the Gottman Method to look at interaction patterns and to build clearer communication. They also draw on Internal Family Systems to help people notice inner parts and find more balance.
Sessions are tailored to practical goals and small changes that can make daily life easier. Anna aims for a supportive, down-to-earth style. They encourage clients to see their own strengths and to take steady steps towards change.

Online support options
How relationship work and internal systems translate online
Anna uses the Gottman Method to identify communication patterns and small interaction habits that affect relationships. This approach focuses on practical exercises and clearer ways of talking that can reduce conflict and build connection. Internal Family Systems helps people notice inner parts, understand their roles, and work towards more balanced internal relationships to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Anna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest whether Gottman-style interaction work, Internal Family Systems work, or a blend makes sense. The plan can change as progress is made, so the process stays responsive to what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for communication exercises, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection or need a way to keep in touch between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
