Anna Abulafia

I currently have availability.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist offering online sessions via zoom. I provide a warm, non-judgmental and confidential space in which you can talk freely and openly about your life, worries and stresses. I have a particular interest and experience in working with autistic people, and those with ADHD or AuDHD. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming with an emphasis on understanding and support to help identify strengths and work together on challenges. I also have many years of experience working with parents and carers of neurodiverse children and young people.

About me

I have a Master's degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.  I work in a very person-centred way but use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where this may be helpful, and I also draw on elements of humanistic and psychodynamic theory.

I have been working as a therapist for a number of years across different organisations including the NHS, in a GP surgery, and in a counselling agency. Alongside my private practice, I have established and run a counselling service for an autism charity, supporting those on the autism spectrum and their families.

It is really important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. I offer a free, no-obligation initial 15 minute meeting so that you can decide whether I am the right therapist for you. During this session, you can tell me a little about yourself and what you hope to get from counselling. I can also answer any questions you may have.
