Build a Life Worth Loving, with Mindfulness & Compassion Focused Therapy

Anita Sommers | GoldMinds Therapy Founder

Meet Anita


Known for her warm, proactive, and understanding style, Anita specialises in working with individuals, couples and families looking to make meaningful changes in their lives and relationships. Her focus areas include strengthening relationship connections, healing past trauma, understanding family-of-origin patterns, reflecting on attachment history, and breaking free from destructive cycles. 

Imbued with a gentle humour, sensitive suggestions, and attentive listening, Anita's sessions empower clients to act, think, and feel differently; make sense of their experience; better understand how they view themselves and their relationships; and uncover how to break the patterns that hold them back.
