About Anne
Anne Stensletten is an AHPRA-registered psychologist in Australia with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and related concerns such as guilt and shame.
Before training as a psychologist she worked for many years in another field, which she draws on when helping people find practical ways forward. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She treats the person as the expert on their life and builds from existing strengths.
Anne has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including those with autism, and has worked with learning differences. She also takes an interest in helping people who live with chronic pain, illness, or disability.
Her approach is evidence-informed and focused on clear steps you can try between sessions. She aims to make therapy a place for honest thinking and small experiments that test what helps and what doesn’t.
People who come with relationship strains, family of origin issues, or separation and divorce concerns will find practical talking points and strategies to try. Anne also works with themes such as abandonment, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, dissociation, and communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and Norwegian. Anne asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session so she can understand immediate concerns and goals.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-style work that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. This kind of work can help with anxiety, low mood, and persistent self-critical thoughts.Another approach she uses involves skill-building for relationships and communication. These sessions look at patterns in how people respond under stress and teach clear, repeatable strategies for different situations. That can be useful for relationship strain, family of origin problems, and separation issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and what they are ready to try. She starts by understanding the immediate concern and then adjusts focus as things change.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. If someone prefers a particular way of meeting, they should check the available formats when they book so sessions fit into everyday life.
