Annastacia Leythorne Dean

I offer appointments - Tuesday (9.15am - 3pm), Thursday (9am - 3pm), Friday (1pm - 3pm). I usually respond to emails within 24-hours. I may take longer to respond to email enquiries outside of my main working times, or if I am on leave.

I am an experienced BACP registered and accredited counsellor. I work with individuals and couples.

People decide to have therapy at different at stages in their life for many varied reasons. During the initial stage of therapy many people describe to me a sense of feeling stuck, coupled with a desire for change. Feeling stuck, whether it is felt within ourselves, in our relationships, or within our current situation, can evoke a range of emotions and feelings, such as anxiety, loss and depression. It is in the experience of suffering that generally prompts people to attend to themselves and seek healing or resolution through therapy.

As your therapist, with your interests at heart, I can provide you with different perspectives of your situation. My hope is that you will feel at ease, so you can share your thoughts and problems, without judgement. You may need some help initially to find ways or tools to cope in the present. Yet I believe it is through the consistency and the safety of the therapeutic relationship where you can acquire a deeper, more objective understanding of yourself and of the reflexive patterns that can get repeated. In my experience the more you are fully aware of yourself, you can make choices about aspects of your life that feels truly right for you.

I have a wide range of professional experience and training in specialist areas. More information can be found on my website.
