Anne Becker (Qualified Counsellor)

Anne has a broad range of counselling and psychological skills as a result of working extensively with adults, teenagers and children in her past roles within a therapeutic, mentorship and supportive environment over the last 30 years. Her gentle, calm, confident and compassionate demeanour assists clients to work through the psychotherapuetic process safely and at their own pace, empowering themselves yet leaving each session with some tools to assist and improve their situation. Anne has a natural counselling ability which puts clients at ease and is particularly skilled with young people and parents given her teaching background prior to Psychological Qualifications. Anne has extensive nationwide Qualifications, Diploma’s and Accreditations from a wide variety of Universities which have included Distance Education, Advocacy, Mentoring young girls and her students to build self-worth and confidence in order to lead successful lives within the community which included common issues such as enhancing peer and family relationships, body image, leadership and making positive choices. Whilst Anne assists with a broad range of psychological and life challenges she has a special gift in working with adults and children who have experienced trauma and grief. Anne also works particularly well with those clients whom have experienced Child Sexual Abuse. Specifically her current goal is to combine her counselling practice with a part time role as an Educational Psychologist within local private and public schools.
