CLINICAL COUNSELLOR

Anu is a clinical counsellor who offers therapy for adult individuals and couples in Perth and online. Her clients often describe her as gentle, insightful, and very easy to talk to. She brings warmth and clarity to her work with people, helping individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.
 
Drawing on her training in Transactional Analysis and her experience across diverse settings, Anu tailors her approach to meet each person’s unique needs. She has worked with people who’ve experienced anxiety, post-traumatic stress, identity issues, burnout, and relationship concerns. She has a special interest and extensive experience in supporting clients recovering from the impacts of high-control religious environments and brings a deep understanding of how these experiences affect a person’s sense of self, relationships, and wellbeing. Through her sensitive approach, she has helped her clients find balance in all areas of life.
 
As an Advanced Transactional Analysis Practitioner, Anu uses ‘TA’ as the main modality in her counselling and integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy into her practice. With additional professional training in religious and spiritual trauma and trauma recovery, she works in a compassionate, person-centred way. Anu is committed to supporting clients in finding greater freedom, self-understanding, and sustainable paths to healing. Originally from Finland, she has lived in three different countries with her family and experienced the joys and stresses that come with it.
