About me and my therapy practice
Do you ever feel listened to but not heard? I will take time to listen and to hear you. Being heard and not just listened to brings a feeling of empowerment. Hello I have been a practising accredited counsellor for 20 years and am here to support you.
I see my role not just as a job but as a career I am passionate about and believe in. It fills me with pride for my clients when I see their self-esteem and confidence build which in turn allows them to have a voice which is heard.
As adults to be able to be there for others we need to understand and take time for ourselves. Therapy can provide this time and space to explore.

About me and my therapy practice
Do you ever feel listened to but not heard? Hello, I have been a practising counsellor for 20 years and have been accredited with the BACP since 2012. I am based in Solihull and Tamworth and provide face to face and online therapy.
I work therapeutically with adults, young people, and children with a wide range of difficulties and see all my clients as individuals. I will take time to listen and to hear you.
Being heard and not just listened to brings a feeling of empowerment. One difference with supporting children rather than adults, is that they do not always have the words to describe how they are feeling or what they want to be conveyed. Bringing art and play into the therapy room can allow the young person to have these words.
You will experience no hierarchy in the room which allows the individual to express themselves freely. I will give you a safe time and place to talk without feeling judged. I will help you to make sense of things and understand the true you. I will support you by empowering you to resolve complicated feelings or find ways to live with them. By helping you recognise what is working for you and what is hindering you in moving forward, will help you find your own solutions. You will explore your options, develop strategies, and increase your self-awareness. I believe therapy takes strength and is not a sign of weakness.
Bereavement is one of my specialised areas. The power an individual can feel by being able to share memories of their special person with someone who has never met that person, can allow them to have a positive grief journey. It can take the pressure off the individual in getting the memory right, allowing them to concentrate on their memories. I feel honoured to work with families including the person who is ill to explore life experiences and memories. These can be so powerful for families bringing laughter, fun and togetherness.

My first session
For therapy to be successful, there needs to be a relationship of trust in the counselling room. If you are thinking about counselling and need to talk it through first and how it will all work, please contact me by phone 07900810348 or email ann_doherty@hotmail.co.uk . We can have a chat without any pressure. This will enable you to decide whether I am the right person for you. This first 15 minute contact session is free. If you do not feel that connection, hopefully I will be able to recommend another counsellor to meet your needs.
