Anne is a Buddhist psychotherapist helping you see the bigger picture, exploring your story, and eliminating outdated barriers and beliefs. Working from a holistic and mindfulness framework, she integrates Buddhist wisdom and philosophy as well as mindfulness techniques into the therapy process. She will help you see relationships in a different way, understand your part in the dysfunction, and develop skills to get the relationships you want.

She works with relationships of all types teaching you new ways to communicate with each other. She helps you create new understandings of yourself and your partner, working with your differences and creating relationships that are deeper and more connected.

Anne fiercely supports personal growth, insight and self care through mindfulness and awareness. She believes her most important job is helping you live a conscious life through conscious relationships

What Anne’s About

Anne is the primary provider at Anne Reilly Counselling. She wants you to expand your conscious awareness. She also wants you to be more connected to yourself and your relationships.

She’s part mermaid and can often be found swimming in the surf, or possibly surfing in the surf. She doesn’t much fancy being pigeon-holed in a box but does admit to being a tree hugging forest fairy (brought on by being raised a small town Aussie girl) PLUS a very happy urban city dweller.

When she’s not working you can find her at the sea, or a yoga class, or possibly chanting at a meditation retreat. Her current crush is scuba diving and she is actively pursuing certification. She’s a bit of an enigma being both well grounded and extremely adventurous. We really like having her here. She’s the one who brings the laughter and the lighter side.
