I have a background in pastoral care in Higher Education, providing one-to-one guidance to students, so I have an understanding of the issues young adults can face. I was inspired by the new lease of life my own counsellor helped me to achieve, and felt empowered to help others get in touch with their best self, through understanding and acceptance, which led me to train as a counsellor. My aim is to help you explore difficult situations, behaviours and outlooks in your life and work with you to find acceptance. As an integrative counsellor I have a person-centered, creative yet structured approach to sessions. I combine a variety of methods that work for you, including psychodynamic techniques and sometimes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches. I have a personal research interest in pre-menstrual mood disorders.

I have over 20 years of experience enabling adults and young people to make sense of chaos and helping them to mend broken hearts and minds. I am a registered MBACP counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor with a MA and Post-Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy. As a long-standing practitioner and Supervisor I enable less experienced colleagues to understand what is going on in their therapeutic work with clients. Counselling and Psychotherapy work has included: Private Practice; the EAP based within Occupational Health at George Eliot Hospital; Leicester College; and PPC (UK) Ltd. Volunteering included Open Door, NW Leicestershire MIND and as the Editor of the BACP RACE Journal. I taught on counselling programmes at North Warwickshire and Hinckley College and with the Open University on Death and Dying and Introduction to Counselling modules until 2016.

Hello, my name is Ann and I am a registered member of the BACP. I have significant experience in online counselling and as a result I firmly believe in its benefits. I have done online and phone counselling myself and I found it to be effective. I've worked with lots of people who have never experienced counselling before and I am aware that this can be an anxiety provoking and nervous experience. However, based on my experience I am of the opinion that the release of speaking about something which you may have kept private for a long time is extremely cathartic. If you've come this far, I can offer you confidential and encouraging support through whatever it is you wish to work through. You may not even know what that is! Just that it might be time to talk to someone. My previous career was in the corporate world where I worked for over fifteen years in the beer industry. I'm an American expatriate having first moved to London in 2004. One of my special areas of interest is helping American expats adjust emotionally and psychologically with all the differences they face in the United Kingdom. I know because I faced the same challenges. In addition, I can work with any issue you wish to bring to me. As a registered member of BACP, I am committed to my continual personal and professional development and also work in accordance with their ethical framework for good practice.

I work in all areas of general counselling and psychotherapy, but I have three particular areas of interest; men's mental health issues, working with classical musicians/singers and issues deriving from birth order and the early experience of sibling relationships.

Practising as a therapist for 3 years both online and offline. Compassionate and dedicated to helping. Worked in a variety of settings including Crisis Support services for the police force. Passionate and ethical whilst being relatable and attentive. I've received excellent feedback from clients about the services I have provided so with this combined with my natural passion for therapy I believe I can help you with the issues you're facing in life.

These include, but are not limited to; Person-centred therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness practices.

Making the decision to attend therapy can often feel overwhelming and confusing. For most people therapy can, however, be an extremely positive and empowering experience that increases greater self-awareness and understanding. I am a fully accredited and qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) with over 8 years of experience and specialise in working with adults. Being fully accredited implies that I have achieved the highest standard in my practice and that I adhere to stringent codes of professional practice and ethical standards. CBT is an evidenced-based therapy and is recommended by NICE (The National Institute of Clinical Excellence). CBT has been proven to be extremely effective in the treatment of most problems we encounter. Being evidence-based means that I am able to incorporate a wide variety of established and researched psychological techniques in my practise and therapy with you. The effectiveness of these have not only been evidenced by extensive research but also by my own clinical experience of seeing what really helps people. I have undertaken advanced training in a number of different Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Compassion-Focussed Therapy (CFT), Couples Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Focused Therapy. My approach is open, informal, collaborative, empathic, warm and relaxed so as to enable a safe, comfortable and non-judgemental space to explore thoughts, feelings and unhelpful behaviours. I aim to provide a quality of therapy that I would be comfortable for my loved ones to attend. I value having honest relationships with my clients whilst always maintaining good rapport and trust, respect, integrity, and dignity. I am fully committed to providing an individualised, high quality therapeutic experience based on best practice and aim to prioritise the client and their needs.I value the quality of the therapeutic relationship with clients and firmly believe this to be an important contributor to the overall success of therapy and to the development of a positive and motivating therapeutic experience. I consider you, the client, to be the expert who knows your own problems better than anyone. It is you who gives me insight into understanding the painful issues and difficulties you are experiencing. In your therapy and through increased self-awareness, I will guide, assist and support you to learn to take responsibility for improving the quality of your life by changing unhelpful patterns of behaviours and negative thoughts. I am fully committed to working with you to find realistic and long-term solutions to your problem as well as to develop and apply new skills and techniques. I have a passionate interest in treating all anxiety disorders (social, generalised, health, specific phobias, OCD and panic), stress, habit disorders, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, depression, low self esteem issues (lack of confidence and self-worth), anger issues, assertiveness and sleep difficulties. I also work with couples and treat relationship and sexual problems.
