Anne Berbece

Anne Berbece is a counsellor who combines practical therapies with a trauma-aware outlook. She works to build trust and respect, and aims to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns and other life challenges. Anne holds PACFA credentialing and has eight years of experience in the mental health field.

Her approach is grounded in therapies that focus on values, emotions and relationships. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make small changes. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work guide conversations about belonging, connection and body image.

In sessions Anne offers straightforward conversation and practical tools. She listens for what matters most and helps people set manageable goals. For someone dealing with grief, addiction, mood swings, or difficulty sleeping, sessions aim to make next steps clearer and more doable.

Her background includes a Master’s level formation in mental health counselling and clinical work in trauma-informed settings. That work shaped a broad understanding of how mood, trauma and addiction can affect daily life and behaviour. Anne describes herself as empathic, patient and conscientious, and she keeps refining her counselling skills.

People who choose to work with Anne begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits them. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies by location and therapist availability.

How Anne uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and for people struggling with eating and body image concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts, feelings and behaviours and testing new ways of responding; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and can help when connection, abandonment or intimacy issues are causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and tailored to the person’s needs.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Because specific session formats are not listed in her biography, please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, focused skills work, or for keeping continuity of care when life is busy.
