Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

She believes in the individual’s ability to move beyond symptoms to a more meaningful life and that each person has the answers to this meaningful life within themselves. Annette's primary focus is to help you make changes in the here and now. At times it is both important and necessary to understand where certain patterns stem from in terms of understanding causes.
