Anne-Marie Wilson-Salt, AASW

Anne-Marie Wilson-Salt is a social worker and counsellor with more than ten years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through periods of stress and life change. She works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma, and abuse, and she also offers assistance with parenting and family dynamics. Anne-Marie brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate style to each client interaction and aims to adapt her approach to the specific needs of the person or family she is working with.

She holds the AASW credential, which reflects her professional affiliation with the Australian Association of Social Workers and indicates training and commitment to social work standards in Australia. Anne-Marie frames therapy as a collaborative process - she guides clients through practical steps and emotional exploration while honoring their individual goals and circumstances. Recognising that reaching out for support takes courage, she focuses on creating a supportive environment that helps people move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Anne-Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs she most commonly sees. She employs trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety, pacing, and understanding when working with people impacted by trauma or abuse - these approaches help with processing difficult experiences and reducing symptoms related to traumatic stress. She also uses family-focused strategies to address relationship patterns, communication challenges, and parenting concerns - this work helps families improve connection, boundaries, and problem solving. Finally, she encourages skills-based approaches that teach practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood, helping clients build coping strategies they can use day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Anne-Marie works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as progress is made and as priorities change.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional.
