I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered in the UK with 9 years of professional work experience. My primary mode of therapy is Transactional Analysis (Psychotherapy) using a relational approach. I have worked with a variety of people facing a range of mental health concerns and disorders, as well as relationship issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, acceptance, empathy and compassion. Sessions are client led, where your needs and goals are kept front and centre at all times. We will build a treatment plan, to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support you in that journey, by providing a safe confidential space for you to explore your concerns.

Ann has created a safe and encouraging space where I feel heard and respected. Her empathy and insight have helped me better understand myself and work through challenges at my own pace. I really value her guidance and the positive impact our sessions have had on my well-being. I am grateful that I got matched to her. I continue to struggle but I don’t know how I could have cope each week without her support. Thank you so much, Ann. You are God send! God bless you!

So far Ann has been a great listener and being able to take what I bring and provide somewhat tangible approach that works for me. It is early doors yet but I have felt safe and open to talk about what I need to in order to process a very difficult time. I am grateful

Ann was always warm and empathetic. She always sensed ways to empower me and came up with creative, very relatable ways for me to cope with my grief. I strongly recommend her.
