About me
Hi there! My name is Anissa, and I offer person-centred counselling within a warm, empathic environment where clients can freely and safely explore their emotions and experiences.
I am fully qualified, holding a BSc (Hons) degree in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and I have many years experience working with adults, children and young people in various counselling settings such as primary schools, secondary schools, various non-profit organisations and charities. I am fully insured and hold registered membership for the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) (Member No: 407326).
I know first hand that life can often feel difficult, and that facing tough times or healing from the past can make it hard to truly be yourself. However, I also believe that every individual has the ability to reconnect and reach emotional wellbeing if given the space to be heard and supported in a compassionate, non-judgemental environment.
In my practice, I’m committed to delivering a compassionate, down to earth approach, where ensuring my clients feel comfortable and building up a trusting therapeutic relationship is paramount.
My work with children and young people often involves the use of arts, crafts, games and toys to allow the client to express themselves both verbally and creatively. This experience can enrich therapy for younger clients, especially for those who can’t always find the words to express their emotions.
If you are struggling or have a child you are seeking help for, then please reach out. I offer a free initial phone call to discuss any queries and to determine whether I am the right counsellor for you or your child.
I am based in Southam but also offer online and telephone counselling.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
