About Anne

Anne Stensletten is an AHPRA-registered psychologist in Australia with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence issues, and support for people living with chronic health conditions.

Before moving into clinical work she spent many years in another field. That background influences how she listens and asks practical questions. She approaches sessions by treating each person as the expert on their own life and building on existing strengths.

Anne has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those with learning differences. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions. Family of origin issues and patterns from childhood are included among the topics she helps people address.

Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life change. Conversations identify patterns that keep a person stuck and develop clearer ways to respond. She aims to make sessions useful between meetings, with practical steps and ideas to try in day-to-day life.

Anne speaks English and Norwegian. Information about session formats and scheduling is provided when booking; clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first appointment.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-based work that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practise new responses; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach involves skills practice around communication and emotion regulation to address relationship patterns and family of origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods to suit each person. That means deciding collaboratively which techniques to try and adjusting them as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, and some formats let people choose shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when needed. The focus is on practical accessibility - arranging sessions that fit into everyday routines so therapeutic work can be continued between meetings.
