About me and my therapy practice

Hello, my name is Anna Planedin and I am a person-centered and psychodynamic psychotherapist. I'm interested in helping people find relief and movement from a place of feeling 'stuck.' I specialize in working with loss, chronic pain, trauma, life transitions, shame and sex/sexuality. I view therapy as a process of helping others listen to their gut feelings, find safety and containment and feel less alone in overwhelming life experiences. It is my hope that through speaking about difficult or taboo feelings with me, you will feel understood and accepted, and that over time you feel more powerful in how you respond to difficulty.

Practice description

I work from a place of curiosity, compassion and openness. I draw from ten years as a social worker to bring an awareness of power and trauma-informed practice. Psychodynamically, I pay attention to unconscious relational processes between us. My person-centered roots involve bringing core conditions of empathy, acceptance and non-judgment.

I deeply enjoy witnessing my clients' processes as they find greater connection with themselves and others. Counselling is a dynamic relationship and I am grateful for the opportunity to continually learn from my clients. If you think I might be someone you can work with, please get in touch.

My first session

In the first session, I gather information from you about what you would like from therapy and whether you have prior experience seeking support. We can use this time to get a sense of whether we are a good fit and choose to contract for an initial number of sessions.
