Smit Counselling
I’m Anna, and I love helping individuals and couples find healing and hope. I believe in making connections so you feel accepted, heard and understood. Some of my areas of interest include trauma, attachment, emotion regulation, change, conflict, self-esteem and identity. I get it. Therapy can feel scary! But it may just be the thing that gets you closer to becoming the person you want to be and enjoying the life you want to live.

Our licensed, experienced therapists prioritize client needs, maintain ethical standards, and provide expert guidance.
