About Anne
Anne Stensletten is an AHPRA-registered psychologist with four years of clinical experience. She moved into therapy after a long career in another field and now supports people working through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Anne works in plain language and aims to make therapy feel manageable from the first session.
She helps people who have experienced trauma or abuse and those struggling with self-esteem and motivation. Anne also has experience with neurodivergence such as autism and with learning disabilities.
Background and approach
She takes a down-to-earth approach and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps that can reduce overwhelm and build confidence over time. Anne listens first, then helps clients set short-term goals and try approaches that suit their everyday routines.
She encourages small changes that add up to noticeable differences in mood and functioning. Anne has an interest in supporting people living with chronic pain and the emotional effects that can follow long-term illness. She offers a calm, steady presence and aims to create space for people to talk through painful experiences at a pace that feels safe.
Her work is collaborative and straightforward. People who appreciate clear plans and respectful listening often find this style helpful. Anne offers sessions in English and Norwegian for clients in Australia.
How Anne's approaches work online
Anne uses evidence-based techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasises building small, manageable habits and activities that support mood, energy and confidence during recovery from depression or chronic stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what tools fit their needs, goals and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as clients try methods and report what helps.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, family or health demands.
