I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered in the UK with 8 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 been a great support in a moment when my life was chaos. Things have calmed down a little bit but she's supported me through my emotional roller coaster these past months. Family issues, ADHD diagnosis and several other things that were hunting me from my past. There's still a lot of work to do but Ann has been amazing this whole time. Thank you Ann.

Ann has been super helpful for me. Offering me helpful insightful suggestions and really picking up on the important points that help me to organise my thoughts. She is a great listener and really knowledgeable.
