About me

Anh is the Head of Talking Counselling, she is a senior Counselling-Psychotherapist with many years of experience, she is resilient and robust. Working with clients with anxiety, depression, and clients who are struggling with childhood trauma and relationship problems. She is also a Clinical Supervisor supporting qualified counsellors and trainees alike to reflect on work. 

Anh's down-to-earth and approachable manner makes her more relatable to work with, she has a great sense of duty of care for her client work, and wants a healthier outcome for all of her clients; Anh's directness and confidence are warm and caring nature.  Anh has worked many years within the City of London she understands the pressures and demands of the Square miles. She works with clients from the creative film and music industries to lawyers and the survivors of human tracking to asylum seekers. Her work is deep and with layers of psychological understanding and culturally in tune with each client's needs, whether you're from the North West of Manchester to the North West of Vietnam. She understands the neurons of culture and it's diversity whether you're from Winchester City to Ho Chi Minh City. 

She is pretty good at what she does, and the therapy space Anh offers is quite special, your work with Anh is deep you will be able to unpick the layers of richness, and it will be challenging too. That's where the changes will happen, Anh is with you to do the work, she encourages clients to work hard in therapy to make changes because you can work with her (you will like working with her), she is super nice and her super lovely team of Junior counsellors can provide you support too if you need an affordable counselling service. What more can you ask for from a lady who believes your emotional struggles are important and valuable to be with?

This is what her clients have said on Google Review;

"Talking counselling was a lifeline at a very difficult time in my life. She manages to find a great balance of support and professionalism. I can't recommend her services highly enough." 

"Anh was a fantastic help to me at a time when I needed someone with her expertise. On reflection, I’m even more impressed by her. Kindhearted and a great therapist. Highly recommend"

"Compassionate, intelligent and insightful, Anh is a brilliant therapist. She helped me learn how to manage my anxiety following a difficult few years while guiding me to the root of those feelings. I’m very lucky to have been put in touch and it’s had a huge impact on me."

Anh's extensive experiences say a lot about her work, with clients who come from recommendations from past and current clients. She is resilient and robust enough to support you however complex the work may be, she invests a lot into her work, and her style of work is to deliver the best outcome possible for each of her clients.

She often says, "You don't have to struggle on your own." it has become Talking Counselling's slogan (By accident, of course).

In addition to English, we offer counselling services in Vietnamese, Welsh, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Estonian, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Latvian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Greek, German, and Luxembourgish.

We also have counsellors who specialize in specific cultural backgrounds, such as Vietnamese-speaking counsellors, Welsh-speaking counsellors, and others. Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals seeking counselling support.

Anxiety.

Psychodynamic therapy can be beneficial in addressing anxiety by exploring the underlying unconscious conflicts and unresolved issues that contribute to anxiety symptoms. It aims to bring awareness to the root causes of anxiety and works towards resolving them through insight, understanding, and making connections between past experiences and present-day anxieties.

In psychodynamic therapy, the therapist and client establish a therapeutic relationship where the client feels secure to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The therapist helps the client gain insight into the unconscious processes and conflicts that may be fueling their anxiety symptoms. By understanding the underlying causes, clients can develop healthier coping mechanisms and make positive changes in their lives.

It's important to note that anxiety is a broad term that includes various types of anxiety disorders. Some common types of anxiety disorders include:

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Characterized by excessive worry and fear about everyday situations or events.
Panic Disorder: Involves recurrent panic attacks, which are intense periods of fear and discomfort accompanied by physical symptoms.
Social Anxiety Disorder: Involves an intense fear of social situations and a fear of being negatively evaluated or judged by others.
Specific Phobias: Involves an intense and irrational fear of specific objects, places, or situations.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Involves intrusive and distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or rituals (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event and involves intrusive memories, avoidance of triggers, and hyperarousal symptoms.
Psychodynamic therapy can be beneficial in addressing various types of anxiety disorders as it focuses on uncovering the underlying causes and patterns that contribute to anxiety symptoms. By exploring unconscious conflicts, unresolved emotions, and early life experiences, psychodynamic therapy helps individuals gain insight, process emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies to manage their anxiety.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
