Anna Oluwajana

Central to Anna’s therapeutic philosophy is the art of rapport building, a pivotal element in forging a robust therapeutic alliance. This intricate process involves immersing oneself in the client’s perspective, deciphering their perception of the world, and understanding how they believe others perceive them. This holistic vantage point forms the basis for comprehending their psychological well-being. Recognizing the significance of biopsychosocial functioning, Anna delves beyond mental health, unearthing the essence of each client’s aspirations and counseling necessities. This comprehensive approach extends to encompass elements ranging from sleep patterns and nutritional habits to everyday wellness and social supports, creating a secure haven where clients can embark on their journey towards mental well-being.

Drawing from a solid foundation in psychodynamics, Anna weaves interventions from diverse therapeutic modalities. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema-Focused Therapy (SFT), and mindfulness techniques, all strategically employed to effectively navigate the complexities of the issues presented. In select cases, Anna deftly integrates an integrative approach, catering to individuals who may not be ready to confront challenges rooted in their past. A varied spectrum of areas, encompassing general anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, agoraphobia, depression, ADHD, high-functioning autism, and an array of neurodivergent complexities, is within Anna’s sphere of expertise. Anna has completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and uses Gottman Method Couples Therapy in her work.
