About Anthea
Anthea Siow is an AASW social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with issues linked to trauma and abuse and supports people coping with loss or ongoing emotional pain. Anthea writes straightforward plans and aims to make each step clear and manageable.
Her style is practical and compassionate. Sessions focus on naming what feels hard, building coping skills, and finding ways to reconnect with purpose.
Background and approach
She adapts conversations to match each person's pace and needs rather than following a rigid script. Anthea uses a mix of approaches, including Jungian ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ways of working. This lets her draw on different angles - values, meaning, and relationship patterns - to help with stuck feelings.
She also uses client-centred and cognitive-behaviour strategies when they suit the situation. Clients often bring concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, midlife questions and money worries. Anthea helps people break these down into manageable steps and practical changes.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Anthea asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and schedule a time that fits their commitments.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Anthea uses Jungian ideas to look at meaning and personal symbols, helping people understand patterns and the stories they live by. This can be useful for clients seeking a deeper sense of purpose or wanting to name repeated life themes.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on values-based action and accepting difficult feelings while building practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy helps map how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication, which is useful for relationship and trust issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. If something does not feel helpful, the plan is adjusted together so sessions remain relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are close to face-to-face work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options let people keep therapy going across different routines and locations.
