BIO Anna Jaaniste

Anna is a registered counsellor, psychotherapist, massage therapist, and group facilitator based on Wangal Country in Sydney, Australia. Her practice is deeply informed by the harbours, creeks, sandstone, and angophora trees of the Sydney landscape, as well as her Estonian and Scandinavian ancestry. These connections to place and lineage shape the foundation of her therapeutic approach.

With a professional background spanning the arts, mental health, wellbeing, education, disability, and community sectors, Anna weaves diverse knowledge systems into a holistic, creative, and relational practice. She offers spaces where individuals can reconnect with their emergent sense of aliveness—where genuine connection, exploration, and transformation can unfold.

Anna balances respectful, grounded listening with creative and embodied methods, supporting people to navigate life’s transitions and deepen their relationship with self, others, and the natural world. A lifelong artist and explorer, she brings sensitivity, intuition, and care to her work.

Her approach honours complexity and subtlety—meeting people where they are, while gently guiding them toward clarity, insight, and sustainable growth. For Anna, healing and change begin with presence, and from that grounded place, transformation becomes not only possible, but deeply rooted and lasting.
