About Annette

She helps people talk through communication problems, attachment concerns, and workplace stress. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Annette asks straightforward questions and listens for patterns that cause distress so practical steps can follow.
She favors clear conversation and steady pacing rather than medical jargon. In sessions she helps people name what’s happening, try small changes, and notice what works. Annette pays attention to impulsivity, mood shifts, and social anxiety as they affect daily routines and relationships.
When separation or divorce are part of the problem she focuses on communication and practical next steps. For parents or people managing family stress the work centers on reducing conflict and restoring more predictable interactions. She also addresses workplace issues and life purpose concerns with practical goal-setting and problem-solving.

She draws on three decades of practice to offer direct, experience-based guidance. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach is structured conversation and problem-solving, which breaks down a difficult situation into manageable steps and identifies actions to try between sessions. This helps with communication problems, workplace stress, and coping with life changes.Another frequently used method is skills practice for mood and anxiety management. That involves simple behavioral experiments, activity planning, and short exercises to test what reduces distress. It can be useful for social anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different ways of working and choose techniques based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
