About Anne
Anne Berbece is a PACFA counsellor with eight years' experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and mood disorders. She also supports those coping with grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career questions and life changes.
Anne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her approach. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships and early patterns affect feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on naming hard emotions and noticing interaction patterns that keep problems alive.
Her background includes a Master’s level formation in mental health counselling and years of practice in trauma-informed settings. That work exposed her to addiction-related issues, bipolar and other mood conditions, and complex grief. Anne describes her work as practical: she helps people identify actionable steps and new ways of responding to old triggers.
In a session she listens for what matters most to the person and links that to small, repeatable changes. Techniques may include exploring present emotions, clarifying values, and testing new behaviours between sessions. She also helps people with parenting stresses, communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation.
Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for people in Australia. Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How Anne blends EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Anne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions and the relationship patterns that keep them stuck. EFT focuses on feelings in the moment and on changing unhelpful interaction cycles that maintain distress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take committed steps even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns influence current responses and connection needs.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Anne will collaborate with each person to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work progresses.
