A space to be heard, to heal, and to grow.
Your Cairns therapist — warm, professional, and genuinely here for you.
She/Her
I'm Anne Delmas, PACFA-registered Gestalt psychotherapist and counsellor based in Cairns. I offer warm, professional therapy for individuals and couples, face-to-face at my Cairns clinic or online, in English or French.
Real connection is where healing begins.
​
I'm a clinical Gestalt psychotherapist and counsellor with a private practice in Cairns. Originally from France, I've called Australia home since 1996 — and I bring that mix of warmth, directness, and lived experience into every session.
​
I believe that change happens through genuine connection — within yourself, and with the person sitting across from you. My approach is person-centred, present-focused, and grounded in deep respect for your own way of being in the world. I'm not here to give you answers. I'm here to help you find them.
​
I offer face-to-face sessions at my Cairns clinic, as well as phone and online sessions — in English or French.

Counselling is a therapeutic process that involves talking to address emotional, psychological, or behavioral issues.
It aims to improve mental wellbeing, develop coping strategies, promote self-awareness and stimulate personal growth through various techniques.
​
​
Anne provides counselling services as a registered clinical member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
​
When requested by the participant, Anne also provides assessments and reports required by NDIS.

​
Anne's therapeutic work is grounded in Gestalt therapy, a compassionate and humanistic approach that focuses on developing awareness in the here and now. Gestalt therapy invites us to notice our thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and behaviours as they arise in the present moment. By exploring how we experience and relate to our surroundings, we gain insight into our patterns and enhance our overall well-being.
​
Gestalt therapy has four key principles:
-
Present-Moment Awareness
We focus on what you're experiencing right now, helping us connect with our thoughts, emotions, and body in a deeper, more mindful way. -
Personal Responsibility
Gestalt therapy encourages us to take ownership of our choices and experiences, empowering us to make meaningful change from within. -
Authentic Connection
Relationships—both with ourself and others—are central to healing. Gestalt work values genuine connection and supports you in improving how we relate to the world around us. -
Wholeness and Integration
We are more than just our thoughts or behaviors. Gestalt therapy helps bring together all parts of our experience—mind, body, and emotions—so we can feel more whole, balanced, and true to ourselves.
Family Constellation is a powerful therapeutic approach that explores family patterns, unconscious patterns and how unresolved issues, trauma, or patterns can be passed down through generations. By bringing hidden dynamics to light, this method helps individuals understand and shift long-standing emotional burdens that may not have started with them. It offers a path toward healing, belonging, and inner peace—allowing people to reconnect with their family system in a healthier, more balanced way.
​
​
Couples come to me at all kinds of moments: in crisis, at a crossroads, or simply feeling distant from one another. Whatever has brought you here, I offer a warm and neutral space where both partners can feel truly heard.
My approach is non-judgmental and collaborative. Drawing on Gestalt principles, I'll help you both slow down, listen more deeply, and find a way forward that honours your relationship, wherever that leads.
Areas I work with include:
• Communication breakdowns and recurring conflict
• Trust, infidelity, and rebuilding after hurt
• Life transitions: having children, separation, retirement
• Feeling disconnected or growing apart
• Deciding whether to stay or separate, with clarity and care
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
