Psychological Therapist and Couples Counsellor
Based in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Annie Gurton has been helping people to thrive for many years. Sessions can be online or face-to-face.
She works with individuals who are experiencing recent or long-term issues and couples who are experiencing problems in their relationship, especially in communicating. She is also a Registered Clinical Supervisor.
Annie says, ‘I offer an opportunity to talk through your experiences, emotions, behaviours and thoughts in a safe and confidential space, and find ways of living that are more rewarding and satisfying.’
Unfortunately Annie is going to be off work for 6 weeks from mid-October, and then part-time until the end of the year, due to surgery and recovery (knee replacement). However you can still book in for sessions from beginning of December by using the online booking system (‘Book Here-and-Now’ pop-up).
Approaches
I use several approaches, including Existential, Brief Solution Focused, Intermittent Therapy and Long-term Therapy.
Relationships
I work with couples whose relationship is unhappy, helping them to move from conflict to connection.
Supervision
I assist therapists, counsellors and students using a collegial approach to Supervision.
All are welcome
My clients are diverse and include people of all ages, orientations and backgrounds, many of whom are struggling to cope with life, and just want to be happy.
“Sometimes, we all need someone to talk to.”
Annie is fully trained and registered and comes with a lifetime of experience.
She is available for individual and couples sessions in Sydney’s Northern Beaches and also globally by Skype and email.
She is also a registered Supervisor.
Annie also lectures in Counselling at ACAP and JNI.
