About Anne
Anne Stensletten is an AHPRA-registered psychologist practising in New South Wales with four years of professional therapy experience. She previously worked in a different field before moving into psychology, and brings that background into her clinical work. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Anne also supports people affected by trauma and abuse and helps with self-esteem and motivation.
She has experience with neurodivergence, including autism and attention differences, and with learning disabilities. Anne is interested in supporting people who live with chronic pain, illness or disability and those dealing with separation, grief or family-of-origin concerns. Her work often addresses shame, guilt and abandonment worries.
In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on what is practical and helpful now. She looks for strengths the client already has and ways to use them to manage current problems.
Anne aims for clear, down-to-earth conversations rather than jargon. She helps people break big issues into small steps they can try between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion of thoughts, feelings and daily routines. Anne listens for patterns that keep problems going and suggests coping strategies and behavioural steps. Over time the aim is to increase confidence in facing stresses and to improve everyday functioning.
She offers sessions in English and Norwegian and works from Australia. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Anne works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problems and practical strategies. One common method involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. This can help with stress, depression and worries that get in the way of everyday life.Another approach focuses on behavioural activation and routine: planning simple activities that restore energy and purpose. That method can be useful for low motivation, depressive symptoms and managing chronic pain by reintroducing movement and manageable tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to schedule around work, caregiving or health appointments. Anne will discuss practical arrangements and what will best suit day-to-day routines during the initial match and first session.
