About Anthea
Anthea Siow is an experienced counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She draws on ten years of work supporting people through painful and confusing moments. Her approach is calm and practical, aiming to make each session feel focused and useful from the start.
Anthea uses Systemic Therapy alongside other approaches to understand patterns between people and across situations. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods and cognitive-behavioural techniques where they fit the client's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions usually look like gentle conversation, practical skills and short exercises to try between meetings. She keeps things simple and direct. Anthea listens closely, helps people name what matters, and then outlines small steps to try.
She can work with issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems. Her practice is person-centred and responsive. Anthea tailors a plan to each person's goals and life context.
Over time she focuses on building resilience, clearer communication and steadier emotional coping. Anthea is credentialed with the Australian Association of Social Workers - AASW. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through a range of online formats to suit different needs and schedules.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Anthea commonly uses Systemic Therapy to map how relationships and patterns influence a person's problems. This approach looks at interactions and routines to find practical changes that reduce tension and improve communication.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how past relationships shape current emotional responses and to build more supported ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. She views therapy as a collaboration and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical commitments and help maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
