Ann Allega Counselling
Email meAbout me
You've made it to my page, now take the next step!
I work quite a lot with anxiety disorder, relationship issues, depression and panic disorder. Also a keen interest helping American Expats that are trying to adjust to UK life.
From a close personal experience last year, I additionally work with cancer related issues.
My counselling service is both online (very convenient and flexible) and in person in Charlton, Greenwich and Blackheath.
We can discuss which option you might prefer, or you might want to start with an assessment in person and then switch to skype online or vice versa. In my opinion, they are both equally effective, it just depends which you prefer.
I offer short or long term therapy for clients with wide ranging issues.
I also provide phone and email counselling as they can be real time-savers for busy people. I have done online and phone counselling myself and I found it to be quite effective.
I've worked with lots of people who have never experienced counselling before. It can be a quite scary, nervous and new experience. However, I feel, simply the release of speaking about something which you may have kept private for a long time is extremely cathartic.
If you've come this far, I can offer you confidential, encouraging support through whatever it is you wish to work through. You may not even know what that is! Just that it might be time to talk to someone.

Further information
My previous career was in the corporate world (15+ years), working for many years in the beer industry. I'm an American expat having first moved to London in 2004.
One of my special areas of interest is helping American expats adjust, emotionally, with all the differences they face in the UK. I know because I faced the same challenges.
Anyone who has dealt with cancer whether it be themselves or a close family member or loved one is also an area I have great experience with.
14 years experience working with and studying addictive disorders and a broad range of mental health difficulties.
Experienced in a variety of settings; upscale recovery and counselling centres, day programs, Her Majesty’s Prisons, primary school settings, one on one practice and online counselling.
