Hi, I'm Anika, a registered mental health counsellor based in rural Australia. I keep my caseload small to ensure that I can show up as an insightful and engaged therapist for you. Burnout is a real concern for therapists—after all, we’re human too. My goal in the mental health space is to support individuals who are genuinely ready to make meaningful change and want to learn how to trust themselves and let go of self-limiting beliefs. I’m particularly passionate about helping people who live with anxiety. Together, we’ll explore how to make anxiety your ally rather than your adversary.

Living through a pandemic added additional pressures for many people who were already experiencing hardships. I felt it too. I can assist clients to gain clarity in choices and decisions they make and to reduce the haziness of brain fog many are experiencing. Connecting with clients is an essential component of counselling, taking an empathetic approach where I can see things from a clients perspective helps to develop the connection we will share together.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
