Anne Siret

Anne Siret is a counsellor with PACFA credentialing and more than 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with relationships. She also supports those facing grief, parenting stress, eating concerns, career questions, ADHD and women's issues. Anne speaks English and French and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone seeking help.

Anne works in a straightforward, compassionate way. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to each person. She listens, asks practical questions and helps clients set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, calmer reactions and better day-to-day coping.

Her approach is flexible rather than rigid. Treatment plans are customised to a person's needs, preferences and life situation. Anne emphasizes collaboration - clients and counsellor decide the next steps together and adjust as progress is made.

Over two decades Anne has supported people through trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, self-harm concerns and social anxiety. She also has experience with ageing and geriatric issues, autism, first responder issues, multicultural concerns and somatic symptoms. This background informs a practical style that balances emotional understanding with problem-solving.

To begin, Anne asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. She recognises the courage it takes to start therapy and aims to make the process as clear and manageable as possible.

How evidence-based methods adapt to online therapy

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks larger difficulties into small, manageable steps and helps with stress, anxiety and life transitions. Another is trauma-informed dialogue that pays attention to safety, pacing and coping skills when working with past hurt or post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review problems, goals and preferences and then select or combine techniques that fit. Sessions are adjusted over time to reflect progress and changing needs so therapy stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar environment or who need flexibility around work and family commitments. Appropriately qualified therapists will discuss how to make sessions practical and comfortable for each person.
