About Anthea
Anthea Siow is an AASW counsellor with ten years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She aims to make the first step feel manageable by offering clear, steady support and practical ways to cope. Anthea listens closely to each person's story and adapts the work to their needs.
Sessions focus on building resilience, improving communication, and addressing feelings like shame, guilt or isolation.
Background and approach
She also helps people who are dealing with chronic pain, caregiving stress, body image concerns, or life transitions such as midlife change and reconsidering purpose. Her style blends body-aware work with established talking therapies. This means attention to physical responses alongside thoughts and emotions.
Anthea uses techniques from acceptance and commitment approaches and cognitive tools to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Attachment ideas shape much of the relational work. Anthea helps people understand how early bonds influence current relationships and communication.
She also draws on client-centred listening to put the person’s priorities at the centre of each session. Practical details are kept simple. Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and are arranged through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step.
Subscriptions fund sessions and can be cancelled at any time.
How Anthea blends approaches online
Anthea uses somatic-informed work to notice how the body holds stress and trauma. This can help with anxiety, grief and long-term pain by linking physical sensations to emotions and reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and to practise small actions aligned with what matters, which supports coping with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people change repeating patterns in relationships.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Anthea will discuss different approaches and decide together what feels most useful for the person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or health concerns and make regular contact easier to arrange. Therapists who use these formats aim to maintain a focused, practical space for sessions and to tailor contact style to each person’s needs.
