About F.

F. Anne Sebastian welcomes people who are feeling stuck under stress, anxiety or grief. She works with adults, young adults and adolescents who are struggling with low self-esteem, depression or life transitions.

How F. works

She also supports those coping with body image, eating-related worries, codependency and commitment difficulties. In sessions she encourages clients to name their strengths and to use them to move forward. Conversations focus on practical strategies for managing anxiety, improving self-worth and handling difficult changes.

She aims to make each session a clear place to set goals and try new ways of coping. Anne holds PACFA, which is shown after her name. She offers therapy in English and Malay and practises in Australia.

Online support options

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work and usually involve clear, practical steps. One common approach focuses on helping people learn skills to manage anxiety and mood swings through breathing, activity planning and thought work. This helps when worry or low mood make daily tasks hard.

Another approach addresses the impact of trauma and difficult past experiences by helping people process painful memories safely and reduce their hold on current life. This is useful for people who notice repetitive patterns such as attachment or abandonment worries.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will discuss options with each person, explain how an approach could help, and adapt methods to fit a client's goals and preferences. That collaboration continues as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made when needed.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. An initial matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps match a person to a suitable arrangement with appropriately qualified therapists.
