Anne Sheldon

Clinical Psychologist, B PsySc (Hons), MPsychClin

Hello! I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Brisbane, Australia.

I have a Bachelors of Psychological Science (Hons 1) and a Masters of Clinical Psychology from the University of Queensland.

I have over 9 years experience working across a range of clinical settings including a not for profit service working with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, an in-patient psychiatric service, community mental health services and private practice.

As a therapist, I am warm, relaxed and genuinely curious. My approach is rooted in acceptance and self-compassion. I recognize that each person's path is unique, and I strive to work collaboratively to understand what is at the core in order to effectively resolve challenges in a sustainable and long-lasting manner.

I have a specific interest in working with individuals who have endured acute, chronic and complex traumatic events. I aim to create a safe and validating space where people can explore and process their experiences at their own pace to reclaim back agency, and restore a sense of safety and connection.

By considering the unique cultural backgrounds, historical experiences, and social context of our lives, I aim to create a inclusive space where diverse perspectives are valued and respected.

I am neuro-affirming in my approach and understand that diversity within any spectrum reflects unique individual experiences.

I enjoy working with people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and find it meaningful to have conversations about broader culture whilst navigating topics of identity and belonging.

I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development which ensures that I remain informed, allowing me to continually refine and enhance my skills as a practitioner.
