Anne Prendergast

I have availability on a Monday daytime, Friday morning and Monday and Tuesday evenings.  Currently telephone and video sessions only.

I offer sessions to adults 18 and over.

You have decided that you would like to talk to someone about what is going on for you.  Maybe you are dealing with change or have experienced long term anxiety or depression and feel it is time to address this.  Perhaps  you are experiencing a loss.  We live in a stressful world and sometimes that becomes too much and we are not sure where to turn or how to make things better.

I have a lot of experience of working with stress and anxiety, trauma, change, loss, work issues.  I have a particular interest in perinatal mental health and have worked with parents and babies, antentally and post-natally, particularly post-natal depression.

I am an accredited member of the BACP.

I offer EMDR therapy for trauma.

If this is your first time experiencing therapy, I prioritise helping you to feel relaxed and answering any questions you may have.  There will be no pressure for you to talk about anything difficult until you are ready.  During the first few sessions I will help you to settle in, feel comfortable and we will explore what is happening for  you and what you would like to change.  I think of those first sessions as the start of unravelling all the things which have been worrying you, until we can see things more clearly.

If you have had therapy before and already know what you want from the sessions, we can get started right away.

I will match whichever pace is good for you.

We can have an initial telephone conversation to discuss what you are looking for and what I can offer and to answer any queries you may have before the start of sessions.

In the first session we will discuss confidentiality and complete an assessment during which we can identify the issues you would like to bring to the sessions.
