About Anthea
Anthea Siow is an AASW social worker with ten years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Anthea keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens carefully, helps clients name what matters most, and works with them to set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on skills people can use between sessions. Her background includes work with domestic and family violence, sexual assault, and parenting concerns. That work taught her to balance safety, clear planning, and gentle pacing when memories or difficult situations come up.
Anthea draws on that experience to guide sensitive conversations about trauma and recovery. Therapy often combines behavioural tools with attention to relationships and values. She uses methods that help with thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and attachment needs.
Sessions also address practical problems such as communication, money worries, caregiver stress and chronic illness challenges. People who come to Anthea can expect a compassionate, non-judgemental space and a tailored plan. She aims to help clients build resilience step by step.
If someone wants a straightforward, collaborative style, Anthea focuses on clear steps a person can practise between sessions.
How Anthea’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress and finding direction when life feels stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It gives clear strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with depression, anxiety and low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current responses. It can help people understand trust, emotional distance and communication problems that affect relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthea will talk through options with each person and adapt methods to their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which tools to try and how to pace the sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit shorter check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
