About Anthea
Anthea Siow helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She keeps language simple and practical, and focuses on small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Anthea is an AASW social worker with ten years' experience in Australia, and she meets people where they are without judgement.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions are a chance to talk about what matters most and to work out clear steps forward.
Background and approach
Anthea draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in relationships, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful. She pays attention to attachment patterns, communication problems and issues like shame, guilt or isolation. Anthea also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image concerns.
Her approach is practical - she helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and build new ways of coping. Anthea adapts the pace to each person. She explains options clearly and co‑creates a plan that fits daily life.
The work aims to strengthen emotional awareness and improve how people relate to themselves and others. People meet with Anthea through online formats that include video, phone or messaging. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes, and on helping people regain direction and a stronger sense of control in their lives.

Online support
Approaches used online and what they do
Anthea uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift difficult patterns in close relationships by tracking emotions and interaction cycles. This approach is useful when relationship distress or attachment issues are part of the problem.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression and finding direction in life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Anthea will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She treats the choice of techniques as collaborative, adjusting the mix as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face from home, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and messaging options allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around family, work and health commitments, while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional change.
