Anne Stensletten, AHPRA

Anne Stensletten is a registered psychologist in Australia (NSW) with four years of clinical therapy experience and prior professional experience in another field. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety and depression, and provides support for relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse. Anne also helps people build motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and she has experience supporting those who are neurodivergent, including people with ADHD and autism, as well as those with learning disabilities.

Anne has a particular interest in assisting people who live with chronic pain and long-term health challenges. She approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert in their own story, and she seeks to draw on individual strengths to address current difficulties. Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling life is often challenging, and Anne offers steady, empathetic support through that process.

Anne is registered with AHPRA - the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - and conducts work in English and Norwegian. Her practice focuses on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to a client’s needs and goals, delivered through a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship.

Evidence-based approaches for flexible online care

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted for online delivery. Skills-based strategies focus on practical tools to manage stress, anxiety and low mood - teaching coping skills and behavioural changes that can reduce day-to-day distress and improve functioning. Trauma-focused work helps people process experiences of trauma and abuse by gently working through memories and responses to reduce their ongoing impact on relationships and wellbeing. Relationship and communication-focused approaches attend to patterns between people, helping clients improve communication, set boundaries and repair connections when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anne works with clients to identify goals, consider personal preferences and tailor the combination of techniques that best fit each person’s needs. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists adapt methods over time based on how clients respond.

Online therapy with Anne is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar environments and access support when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
