Gottman Trained (Level 1)

Special Interest Areas: ADHD (especially ADHD in women), work/career challenges, anxiety, relationship & attachment issues, women’s psychological wellbeing, relationship counselling* (Gottman Therapy), and stress & burnout.

I am a registered psychologist who deeply cares about helping adults of all ages as they navigate various life challenges. I take a particular interest in supporting women’s mental health (especially those seeking help with ADHD, work-life balance, attachment or relationship challenges). I am a friendly and compassionate therapist who believes in the healing power of a gentle and compassionate hand. I work with individuals aged 18 years and over with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship & attachment challenges, work or study related stress & burnout, career issues, adjustment difficulties, low motivation, low self-esteem, and grief and loss. I am also able to provide couples & relationship therapy* with my training in the world renowned Gottman Therapy method.

I completed my Master’s dissertation on employee stress management and recovery strategies and I consider myself an advocate for employee wellbeing. As well as my experience as a therapist, I have had previous experience as a tertiary educator and have worked in recruitment & selection and strategic HR positions. I am also a huge nerd and I love to incorporate themes, scenes or quotes from various media forms (books, games, movies etc.) in my therapeutic approach to illustrate concepts, strategies or ideas. In my free time, I enjoy bike riding; watching & reviewing TV shows & movies; reading; and creative hobbies such as painting, drawing, and crocheting. On weekends I enjoy frequenting the performing arts theatres to watch the latest Broadway shows or cozying it up at home playing video games or board games with my friends and family.

Therapeutic Techniques: I am a compassionate psychologist who takes the time to listen and understand everyone’s unique situation, challenges and goals and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet each individual’s unique needs. To do this, I draw from various evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), the Gottman Method, Schema Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).

I periodically accept new clients. For appointment inquiries, please email me at anne-marie@storyhousetherapy.com.au
