Anna’s Areas of Specialisation
Anna has a special interest in perinatal mental health and supporting new mums with their matrescence journeys.
As a Mum of two, Anna has experienced the ups and downs of the matrescence journey first-hand. Her motherhood journey took place throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, giving her unique insight and understanding of the challenges associated with becoming a parent during this era.
The reality of becoming a parent can be very different to what we hoped for, and past trauma can be retriggered at any time during the parenthood journey, from the planning to the postnatal period.
Anna understands that it can be very difficult to admit to the challenges and strong emotions that can be a part of parenthood, and is particularly passionate about removing this silence and stigma. She aims to empower her clients to navigate through their struggles and rebuild their identities as new parents.
Anna is also passionate about supporting people to heal from trauma, particularly birth and attachment trauma and the associated grief and loss that can arise. Anna is trained in and utilises EMDR as one of her preferred modalities in helping clients to reprocess experiences of trauma and grief.
Helping people navigate the journey of adjustment following grief, loss and major life transitions is also one of Anna’s passions.
