Dr Anna Johnson - Clinical Psychologist

Anna has been practicing psychology for more than twenty years. Her aim is to develop creative clinical strategies with her clients in order to explore their presenting concerns, identify goals, find practical solutions for problems as well as facilitate self discovery. Her focus is on treating clinical symptoms and issues associated with the following: anxiety, depression, stress, acculturation and adjustment, life stage, post trauma syndrome, low self esteem, grief, and work-life imbalance. Her interest and experience include interventions with males and females to resolve the psychological distress associated with relational problems (e.g. separation and divorce), life stage and lack of fulfillment. She enjoys working with females (all age groups) to address medically related diagnoses such as weight gain. Her approach integrates the theory and application of Brief Solution Focused therapy, CBT, Ecosystemic and Family Systems Therapy as well as Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples.
