About Anni
Dr. Anni Hine Moana offers a calm, respectful place to begin when life feels heavy or confusing. She recognises the courage it takes to reach out and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone unsure where to start.
Her style is gentle and collaborative. She listens to the stories people bring and helps them notice how experiences and relationships have shaped those stories. This often makes it easier to separate problems from identity and to see small, practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Clients come with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and depression. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting pressures, career changes, low self-esteem and the effects of guilt or shame. Dr Moana uses approaches that centre the person and pay attention to emotions and thinking.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to be clear and relatable rather than full of jargon. Alongside clinical work, she teaches in a Master of Addictive Behaviours course at a major university.
That role keeps her connected to current research and practice while she continues hands-on counselling and supervision in the community. She describes counselling as a chance to be heard, try out new perspectives and create space for change. People seeking a practical, respectful approach to making sense of difficult emotions often find this way of working useful.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr Moana draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong feelings, often in ways that lead to clearer emotional understanding and better emotional regulation. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her listening-led stance, prioritising the person’s perspective and pacing sessions around what feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides straightforward tools for noticing thinking patterns and trying small, concrete changes to behaviour and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. She will talk with each client about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches together to see what helps. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online formats make this collaborative work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need a shorter check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days or provide ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access counselling from different places and at different times while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps.
