About Anne
Anne Stensletten is an AHPRA-registered psychologist with four years of clinical experience. She draws on her prior career to bring a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people under stress. Anne helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem by listening closely and building on their existing strengths.
She also supports those facing relationship strain, trauma and recovery from abuse, and people coping with chronic pain or illness.
How Anne works
She has experience with neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD, and with learning differences. That background lets her adapt conversations and strategies to suit how a person thinks and learns. Anne emphasises collaboration and practical problem solving rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. Anne believes clients are the experts in their own lives and helps them try new ways of managing stress, improving communication and building confidence. Progress is measured in real changes that matter day to day.
When someone is ready to begin, Anne supports the scheduling and matching process so therapy fits into a busy life. She offers a straightforward, compassionate approach aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to handle the challenges they face.

How therapeutic approaches map to online sessions
Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in plain language. One approach focuses on practical problem solving and goal setting, which breaks larger problems into small steps and helps people make changes that fit daily life. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and building confidence.Another approach adapts strategies for trauma and recovery by helping people manage distressing memories and reactions in manageable pieces. It aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve coping when past events affect day-to-day functioning.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Anne works with each person to understand their history, goals and preferences and then suggests methods that suit how they think and what they want to achieve. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a workday, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around other commitments.
