If life feels overwhelming, if you are coping with bereavement, if you are managing difficult family relationships, if you can't stop crying, if you feel on your own with worries, if something has happened to you, or if you simply feel stuck, investing some time to explore this can be helpful.

Sometimes having an accepting, safe, non-judgemental therapeutic space, shared with a caring person, to talk things through can be the key to shifting your internal world enough to be able to make changes and to live your life in a happier or more contented way.

I aim to offer such a space. Hello, my name is Anna, a BACP Registered Integrative Therapist. As well as offering private practice I have worked for an adults counselling service for over 10 years so have experience of working with a wide range of presenting issues. I have also been involved with a Young Person’s charity for the last 17 years, so have a great deal of experience working with family and young people’s issues.

I began my counselling training 14 years ago after feeling I needed more skills whilst supporting a young person in need. Originally, I trained as a scientist, I now find working with people much more rewarding than the microscope! I love working with clients, seeing how things can change and shift, it gives me courage that whatever we might face in life we have the capacity, if given the right conditions and support, to help ourselves.

As an integrated practitioner I know that different people are helped by different things at different times. I trained in Person Centred Counselling and Integrative Counselling, and now I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioural, Creative, Psychodynamic and Trauma based therapeutic models amongst others into my practice. I aim to offer each client the approaches or techniques that are best suited to them and their current situation.

I offer 1-2-1 therapy sessions, face to face, or online via Zoom. 

Our first session would take an hour and be an opportunity for us both to see if we could work together; for you to establish if I am somebody you would like to work with, and for me to establish if I have the correct skill set to meet your needs. We would discuss what you would like to achieve in therapy, what issues or changes you want to deal with, and how we might work together. There is also a small amount of paperwork we will complete: a necessity at the beginning of any therapeutic relationship.

Ongoing sessions last for 50 minutes during which we would agree future dates and times to meet: sessions can be scheduled weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

I can understand it may feel hard to get started, but if you ring me, or email me we can have a chat about the reasons you are thinking of coming for counselling.
