Therapy for adults wanting to heal from trauma, so they can feel more deeply connected to themselves and others, live more fully and laugh more loudly.
Offering in person appointments in Fremantle WA, and online Australia - wide
for clarity, healing, positive lasting change
Have you ever found yourself wondering:
“Why do I still behave in ways I know don’t serve me?”
“Why do I keep feeling at odds with myself or question my worth?”
These are powerful questions many of us wrestle with. It’s common to feel stuck in patterns that seem impossible to change. You may be managing well in many areas of life, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, self-critical or disconnected. You’re aware the past has shaped some of your emotional responses, relationship patterns or ways of coping, yet still find yourself responding in familiar ways.
Sometimes we cope through distraction, positive reframing, numbing out or other strategies that bring short-term relief but rarely lead to lasting change.
I work with adults who want more than simply managing symptoms.
They want to move beyond coping and towards genuine, compassionate change.
Healing begins by gently acknowledging what’s happening inside, in a space that feels safe, where your understood and supported. Therapy is not about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s an opportunity to make sense of the ways you’ve learned to respond in life, supports you to reconnect with your inner resources, and helps you discover new possibilities.
As an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, I believe deeply in our capacity to heal from self-protection, self-criticism or disconnection, and to develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. IFS offers a way of understanding these responses and the different parts of ourselves that may be trying, in their own ways, to keep us safe.
I take a grounded, relational and compassionate approach, slowing down and listening carefully to what’s emerging. I want therapy to feel comfortable and relaxed so you can be honest, open and curious. You can come as you are, without having everything figured out or having the right words.
I am here to support your unique journey towards healing, integration, and wholeness.
Support for the things that matter
Individual therapy
I provide individual therapy to support you:
Heal from the effects of trauma and emotional pain.
Strengthen relationships by understanding attachment patterns and developing more secure connections.
Ease the grip of anxiety, stress and overwhelm, so you can feel calmer and clearer.
Move beyond self-criticism, shame and feeling “not good enough” towards greater self-compassion.
Shift old patterns that may be limiting what feels possible in your life.
I believe IFS therapy is for everyone who is curious and interested in what makes them who they are.
Couples Counselling
I provide couples counselling, supporting partners to develop the capacity to be with one another in a calm, compassionate and curious way, even when facing ongoing difficulties or seemingly immovable patterns.
Drawing on my training in Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO) which is IFS for couples, I help couples understand their internal responses and move from reactivity towards greater trust, emotional safety, repair and deeper intimacy.
Why IFS therapy is a game changer
Have you asked yourself, “what would it be like if I was kinder, less critical towards myself and the parts of me I struggle with?” This is at the heart of what IFS offers. Rather than seeing difficult thoughts, feelings or behaviors as something to overcome, IFS invites us to become interested in what’s happening within and why.
I have confidence that IFS offers a way to slow down and with care, understand what lies beneath your reactions and gain insight into the protective and vulnerable responses that shape how you think, feel and behave. Rather than judging, suppressing or fighting automatic reactions, we explore what they’re trying to protect and what they need. IFS provides a framework that supports you to tend to emotional wounds and loosen the hold of limiting beliefs.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I’m not there to tell you what you should think, feel or do. I offer guidance and perspective while trusting that you have your own wisdom, strengths and capacity for healing.
My aim is to help you feel less burdened by the ways you’ve learned to cope and more able to respond to life from a place of choice and self-trust. Over time, this can make it easier to embrace life’s ups and downs with greater ease, while feeling more connected to yourself and the people around you.
Meet Anunda
Many clients choose to work with me because they feel genuinely understood, often saying “you get me”.
After years of providing talk therapy, I discovered IFS which completely changed my therapeutic approach. I willingly admit being a little obsessed and in awe of its healing capacity. Clients are often surprised by the depth of personal insight that emerges through Internal Family Systems therapy, describing sessions as meaningful and deeply impactful.
Since 2022 I’ve engaged in multiple trainings in Australia, traveled to South Korea for additional training, and have participated in on-line trainings around the world at all hours of the day and night. My commitment and passion to learn and develop as an IFS therapist continues to grow.
I’m a qualified social worker and counsellor with more than 20 years of experience in community organisations and therapeutic work. I’ve supported people affected by trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional distress and complex family circumstances, as well as providing couples counselling and reflective supervision for other professionals.
I genuinely care about the people I work with. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can feel more at ease being yourself, know yourself more deeply and move towards a life that feels genuinely your own.

Taking the first step
Taking the first step isn’t always easy.
Sometimes the very things we hope might change, can also make it difficult to seek support. You may worry about opening up emotions or old wounds, wonder whether therapy will really help, or feel you should be able to manage on your own. These thoughts are common and worth exploring with me.
The first shift comes from allowing yourself to consider that things could be different.
