What I Offer
If one wants to live more fully and more richly, it is possible only if one opens his heart to life and to love
Alexander Lowen
Services
(Online or Face-2-Face)
These sessions are for you if you're carrying something that feels stuck — old trauma, anxiety, depression, painful patterns, or simply a sense that there's more available to you than the way you've been living. Drawing on Internal various modalities, we work together to release what's been holding you back, understand yourself with greater clarity, and reconnect with your own strength and resilience. The aim isn't just to feel better in the short term — it's to build a more settled, honest, and fulfilling relationship with yourself, and with the people who matter to you.
These sessions can be especially helpful if you:
-
Live with anxiety or depression and want to understand what's underneath, not just manage the symptoms
-
Carry trauma — recent, old, big, or small — and want to process it in a way that feels safe and integrated
-
Feel called toward self-discovery, personal growth, or a deeper sense of purpose
-
Are working through relationship struggles or family issues and want to understand your own patterns and triggers
-
Are navigating a chronic condition and the emotional weight that comes with it
IFS
Internal Family Systems (IFS) works with the idea that we're all made up of different "parts" — the inner critic, the perfectionist, the protector, the wounded younger self, and many more. These parts develop for good reasons, often to protect us, but they can end up working against each other and leaving us feeling stuck, reactive, or disconnected. In IFS, we get to know these parts with curiosity rather than judgment, helping them ease their grip so you can feel more grounded, whole, and in choice.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports your brain's natural capacity to digest and integrate difficult experiences, softening the emotional charge of past events so they no longer drive your present. It can be particularly effective for trauma, depression, anxiety, and lingering distress. Your FIRST EMDR session needs to be booked for 90 minutes.
Intensive
The 3-hour intensive is for you if you're ready to move past surface-level work and into the depths of authentic healing. By weaving together powerful modalities in one extended session, we create the time and space for real shifts in patterns that have felt stuck for a long time.
Sessions are either online or face-to-face in Cattai, NSW, Australia.

My Workbook for Couples
Transforming How You Love, Together is the workbook for couples ready to stop talking about their patterns and start changing them. Drawing on Relational Life Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic practice, I guide you through a five-stage journey—from understanding the unconscious dynamics driving your conflicts to building a partnership that genuinely inspires you both.

A Couples Day Retreat — Just for the Two of You
Sometimes a relationship doesn't need fixing so much as it needs time — uninterrupted, unhurried, fully present time together, away from the noise of everyday life.
This is a private, in-person retreat designed for one couple at a time, in the peaceful surrounds of Cattai. A whole day that's entirely yours: to reconnect, to gently work through what's been hard, and to remember what drew you together in the first place.
Your day, woven together
Across the day we move between deeper therapeutic work and softer, restorative practice — so you're never pushing too hard, and never standing still.
The therapeutic sessions draw on Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand the patterns that keep tripping you up, and to meet each other with more honesty and warmth. We may use Sandtray and somatic work too, which have a way of surfacing what words alone can't quite reach.
Between these sessions, nature walks, gentle yoga and meditation give your nervous systems a chance to settle, so the insights have room to land. There's space simply to breathe, to be quiet together, and to enjoy each other's company without an agenda.
Included in your day
A full day of guided therapeutic and somatic work, gentle yoga and meditation, a nourishing lunch, and tea and coffee throughout — so all you need to bring is yourselves.
This day is for you if you're longing to...
Rebuild closeness after a hard stretch, move through hurt and repair trust, deepen intimacy, or simply give your relationship the kind of dedicated, loving attention that's so easy to put off. It's also a rare chance for some genuine you-time, together.
Investment
$1,300 all inclusive. 9.30AM - 5.30PM in Cattai, NSW, Australia.
Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget. Stress, trauma, and the experiences you've lived through don't just live in your thoughts — they settle into the muscles you can't quite relax, the breath that stays shallow, the tightness in the chest or stomach that lingers long after the event has passed.
Somatic Therapy meets your body where it's holding all of this. Rather than analysing or explaining, we begin a conversation with your body — slowing down enough to listen to what it's been carrying, and creating the conditions for it to soften, settle, and release. There's nothing to force. Change arrives quietly: a deeper breath, an easing of tension, a sense of being more at home in yourself than you've felt in years.
This work can be especially helpful if you've experienced trauma, live with chronic pain, stress or anxiety, feel disconnected from your body, or have found that talking about your struggles has only taken you so far. When the body is included in the healing process, change tends to happen more deeply and to last.

Some things are hard to put into words. Sandtray therapy gives you another way in. In a contained, safe space, you choose from a wide collection of small figures, objects, and symbols and arrange them in a tray of sand, creating a scene that reflects what's alive for you — a feeling, a memory, a relationship, a question, a stuck place. The process bypasses the analytical mind and lets something deeper speak. What emerges is often unexpected and quietly powerful: parts of yourself you didn't know you were carrying, connections that suddenly make sense, and pathways forward that hadn't been visible before.
"I walked away inspired and motivated to make some changes in myself that helped me to step onto the path I want to be on." ~ Pam
"This opened my eyes in unexpected ways. I got insight into some hidden and unhealed pain from the past and discovered paths that I hadn't seen before." ~ Natalia

What Others Say
A trusted friend recommended Anneriek when I spoke with them about the stress and anxiety I had been feeling for the past few years. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I knew I needed help. From the very first time we met, Anneriek made me feel at ease and has really helped me better understand why I think the way I do and how I can change that. I would highly recommend her services, it has really helped me.
Cameron R, NSW
Couples Growth & Healing has supported growth and better connection in our relationship. The skills that we learned will assist us in breaking generational cycles that we would have otherwise likely passed down to our children. We feel so grateful to Anneriek for this wonderful journey she has guided us through, and we are excited to continue to implement the tools shown to us.
Justin S, NSW
Sandtray therapy with Aneriek was an enjoyable and reflective experience. Anneriek held the space beautifully and supported me to explore my inner world. I was able to gain clarity on a number of current and past life dilemmas, it was helpful to gain perspective by mapping out my journey in a visual way.
Ali G, NSW
I feel like I am being reborn in my everyday life. I feel more confident in making decisions, having a voice, and allowing myself to speak my truth without hurting anyone. I am starting to love who I am becoming. I feel blessed and content.
Donna S, NSW
Over the past 4 months, Anneriek coached me, meeting my past trauma and achieving true acceptance of myself and the life that was bestowed on me. The level of respect and trust I have for Anneriek is second to none. I could not have embarked on this journey without her. I learnt so much about myself and regained happiness and a sense of peace.
Ana B, NSW
Anneriek held the mirror for us and helped us become aware of the patterns that had us stuck in our relationship dynamic. It has helped us to be more curious with one another which has breathed life and freshness back into our relationship.
Jooles CH, Japan
Anneriek opened me up to how my emotional reactions and patterns play out in my relationship. It has helped me communicate better with my partner and has helped me understand myself and what I need in a relationship, as well as what my partner needs.
Jeremy I, NSW
I just wanted to say thank you so very much. I really can't thank you enough. Thank you for highlighting my pattern and helping me believe in myself. I truly feel I'm moving onto my path like never before, and it feels wonderful.
Jaz C, TAS
I’m learning love, and loving to learn to plant my feet in who I Am. Bend my branches, yes, stretch my limbs, yes, deepen my roots, yes, yet, with feet firmly planted in My unique beautiful Being. So, this is where I am currently at, and I am very grateful to you….
