Therapy and Consulting

Where Passions, Purpose & Possibilities Meet

It's all Intertwined.

Helping people live values-driven lives by embracing the beautiful messiness of work, home, identity, and purpose.

Many people struggle to reconcile the different roles they play, feeling as though they must compartmentalise who they are. At Intertwined, we help people integrate these parts of their lives—fostering self-acceptance, balance, and sustainability in their careers, relationships, and personal growth.

We recognise that who we are at work, at home, and within ourselves is deeply connected and intrinsically intertwined. Through compassionate, inclusive, and sustainability-focused support, we help people embrace their whole selves with clarity and confidence.

We offer online services focused on parenting support, holistic counselling and therapy, and consulting and supervision for those integrating multiple roles and values into their lives.

Learn more about our services

We don’t try to untangle the complexities of life—we help you embrace them.

Life is complicated and messy. Unlike traditional therapy and consulting services that separate work, personal life, and values, we embrace, and work with, the interconnectedness of it all.

Anita Franklin, Founder of Intertwined

Meet the founder

Anita Franklin

I believe in walking beside others with compassion, curiosity, and courage.

Rooted in justice, care, and connection, I strive to honour the dignity of all people, animals, and the planet.

I challenge systems that exclude and create spaces where everyone can belong, grow, and thrive.

My work is grounded in integrity, driven by purpose, and nourished by creativity and joy. I'm passionate about helping people embrace the interconnected nature of their lives—recognising that work, home, personal values, and professional growth are all intertwined. Through Intertwined Therapy & Consulting, I support individuals, families, and professionals in navigating complexity, aligning their lives with their values, and finding balance amidst chaos.

As an accredited mental health social worker with a Bachelor in Social Sciences, a Master of Social Work, and ongoing PhD studies in Critical Sociology, my work is rooted in values-driven, ethical, and strengths-based practice. My approach is compassionate, inclusive, and strengths-based.

I provide holistic therapy, supervision, consulting, and mentoring to those who feel pulled in different directions—helping them integrate their roles, embrace their whole selves, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you're a parent, professional, researcher, or someone simply figuring things out, my goal is to support you in living a values-driven, fulfilling, and authentic life - at home, at work, and in the community.

Alongside Intertwined, I also run Side by Side Therapy, where I provide integrative clinical play and creative therapy for children and families.
