Anna Costello
I am a a compassionate and gentle Clinical Counsellor Psychotherapist I have clinical membership with the (Psychotherapy and Counselling Association of Australia) PACFA.
My expertise and interest lies in working with neurodiverse children, teenagers, and their families. However I also have expertise in working with individuals who have anxiety and social anxiety.
I support my clients and their families with diagnoses such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA).
My approach is strength-based, drawing from Attachment Theory and models such as the Circle of Security, to address social, emotional, and behavioural issues. In sessions, clients may work on emotional regulation strategies, enhancing executive functioning, developing social skills, improving impulse control and increasing self-esteem.
