Anthea Siow, AASW

Anthea Siow works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She draws on a decade of professional experience to help clients manage difficult feelings and rebuild daily routines. Anthea communicates with respect and sensitivity and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, doable changes they can try between meetings. She listens for each person's story and adapts conversation and strategies to suit their needs and pace.

Anthea uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, learn new coping skills and work on relationship patterns. For those living with chronic pain, illness or disability she also attends to practical stresses and everyday functioning.

With an AASW credential and ten years of experience, Anthea has worked across mental health, parenting and trauma-related concerns. She supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation.

Her practical goal is to help clients feel more able to manage problems and take clearer steps toward their values. People can expect a compassionate space where plans are tailored to their situation and reviewed as progress is made.

How Anthea's approaches translate to online work

Anthea commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred techniques. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-guided action, which can help with anxiety and life purpose concerns. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves. Client-Centred methods focus on listening and creating a respectful space so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anthea will work together with the client to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress is reviewed. This collaborative choice helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments or caregiving duties, and they can allow shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling. If you are living with chronic illness or pain, remote sessions may reduce travel strain and let focus stay on coping strategies and daily routines.
