Anna Dabernig

Hi there I am Anna.I know it can be tough to reach out, and it can take courage to ask for support. I’m here to listen, to help you make sense of what’s going on, and to work with you to find ways to cope and feel a bit lighter. No judgment just understanding and support, at your pace.I offer trauma-informed counselling with a special focus on addiction recovery, neurodiversity, and LGBTQ+ affirming support.

My work focuses on supporting people affected by trauma, addiction, and identity-related challenges. I provide a neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive space where clients can explore their experiences safely and without judgement. Many people use substances or coping behaviours to manage overwhelming feelings, and together we can work toward understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways of coping.
