Annette Thiele is a psychologist based in Sydney. She provides therapy through a nationwide telehealth service, so sessions can happen from home across Sydney NSW 2000 and beyond.
Annette works with people who are dealing with everyday mental health worries, and also with bigger changes that can hit relationships and family life. Many clients come in looking for practical help, not just talking things over. Therapy can be about understanding what’s going on, but it also aims to give you skills you can use in real life.
Sessions are available for individuals, couples, and families. For individuals, the focus is often on things like stress, feeling stuck, or struggling to cope when life gets busy. For couples, therapy can help when communication breaks down, when trust or connection feels strained, or when you both need a better way to work through conflict. Family sessions can support the whole system, especially when tensions at home start affecting everyone’s mood and day-to-day routines.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a key part of the work. In plain terms, CBT helps you notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and then try small, workable changes. At times this can feel like getting a bit of structure to what has felt confusing or overwhelming. Stress management counselling also features in the sessions, which can be useful when stress has started to show up in your body, your sleep, or your ability to switch off.
Telehealth can be a comfortable option. It means you don’t have to plan around travel or wait for an in-person appointment. It also lets you keep things familiar, which can help some people settle in quicker. Sessions are set up for people who want support but prefer the convenience of video or other telehealth formats through the service in Sydney.
Annette keeps things grounded and focused on what’s happening right now. You can expect a calm space to talk, then a plan for what to do next. Therapy is not about quick fixes. Over time, many people find they feel more in control, with better coping habits and clearer ways to handle hard moments.
For those looking for individual therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy, Annette offers support using CBT and stress management counselling.
