Anne Stensletten, AHPRA

Anne Stensletten is an AHPRA-registered clinician with four years of therapy experience in Australia. She previously worked in a different field before moving into mental health care. Anne focuses on practical support and clear steps rather than jargon. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Anne helps people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. Her practice includes work with neurodivergence such as autism and ADHD, and she has an interest in chronic pain and illness.

Her approach starts by listening to each person’s story and strengths. She views clients as experts in their own lives and builds on what already works for them. Sessions are aimed at small, achievable goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Anne keeps things straightforward in sessions. Conversations focus on practical strategies, clearer communication and managing difficult emotions day to day. She offers a calm presence and steady guidance while people try new ways of coping.

People often come to her when life feels stuck after a loss, separation or trauma, or when ongoing health issues make everyday life harder. Anne helps them break problems into manageable parts and rebuild confidence to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques presented in plain terms. One common approach focuses on practical problem solving and skills practice to reduce day-to-day symptoms of anxiety and depression. This helps people manage stress, build routines and test new ways of coping.

Another approach centres on understanding patterns in relationships and communication. Sessions explore how interactions and past experiences shape responses today, and work on clearer communication and repair strategies to improve connections and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences, and recommend techniques that fit your situation. Plans can be adjusted as you try different strategies and see what helps most.
