Ann Parker

I am not available on Thursdays and Fridays or at weekends and public holidays.

I am a BACP accredited counsellor with over 20 years experience. I initially qualified in Person Centred Counselling but I have undertaken a range of other counselling training which I use to tailor counselling to each individual client. I can offer a safe, empathic, non-judgemental space where you can explore and reflect on issues affecting you.

I have worked within the NHS and privately with clients who are experienced wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, following bereavement and clients with low self-esteem.

Outside of the Counselling world, I have worked as a Midwife and Health Visitor and have experience of working with mothers experiencing antenatal and postnatal depression.

As a Accredited Registered member of the BACP, I abide by the principles of their Ethical Framework. My practice is in a private, easily accessed office within my home. It is easily accessed by car with ample parking, and I live about 5 minutes walk from a regular bus route.

I am currently offering therapy, via Zoom, telephone and face to face sessions. I follow BACP and Government guidelines to ensure my practice keeps clients as safe as possible.

 A Confidential text or answer message can be left on the phone number provided, or you can email me. 

I use the first session to undertake an assessment with you. This includes gathering information about what has brought you for counselling now, some information about yourself now and your background that might be relevant to our work together and to discuss what you want to gain from counselling. We can then agree a way forward.
