She has a passion for working with children and adolescents and experience working in this field, having worked in the mental health field since 2019. Anna has a Masters in Art Therapy and has been facilitating KidsLink groups for several years and also provides individual art therapy.

Anna sees her clients as a person full of potential rather than their diagnosis. She has experience and an interest in using evidence based and developmentally appropriate therapeutic approaches. Anna is particularly drawn to using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychoeducation, Positive Psychology and Strength Based approaches. She works in a way that enables young people to find their values and strengths, using art based and visual aids when working with children and adolescence to enable them to express themselves because sometimes words are simply not enough. Confidential spaces are created that enable clients to express and process their feelings and difficulties they may be facing.
