Hi, my name is Anna and I’m a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have had over 15 years of supporting individuals facing adversity which has included as an adult Social Worker for 10 years. I have paralleled my practical work experience with academic learning which has included completing a BSc in Psychology, MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work and specific counselling training; Counselling Skills level, 2, 3 and 4.
Over recent years I have counselled individuals who are affected by cancer including end of life clients, those in caring roles and rediscovering identity after illness. I have also supported women affected by menopause and related loss of self-esteem, confidence etc. I believe both my work experience, training and academic studies have given me greater insight into people facing difficulties, the impact adversity has on individuals, facilitating problem solving and the process of resilience and growth
I am trained as a person-centred counsellor which emphasises the importance you, the client, has in identifying problems, understanding these at a deeper level and finding potential solutions. To achieve the latter it is essential that you feel comfortable and we will aim to create a ‘safe’ working relationship where you feel empowered to explore challenges you are experiencing. Although, my main training is in person centred counselling I will utilise other theories and approaches where appropriate to assist in the therapeutic process i.e. cognitive behavioural therapy.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little more about my experience, background and general approach to counselling, please feel free to message me with any further questions.

Anna is a wonderful therapist. She is obviously very skilled and knowledgeable and this really shows with her counselling techniques. She makes me feel comfortable and safe and provides me with hope that I can manage my issues.
