About me

Hi, I'm Anna, I am friendly, calm, personable and down to earth and I am committed to building a relationship with you that allows you to be open, honest and feel safe enough to explore yourself, your world and your problems.

You may not have anyone you feel you can talk to, or maybe you do but they don’t understand you. I am experienced in offering psychological support and assessment to individuals who experience mental health issues. I create a safe space for each of my clients - a strong relationship is the core of effective therapy!

I'm trained both as a clinical and counselling psychologist.

This means that my approach is slightly different from others, as I use a range of tools and knowledge from different sources. Counselling skills are helping me to understand you better and use a variety of therapeutic forms. Whereas clinical experience gives me an opportunity to explain to you in simple words any possible medical problems that you might be suffering from.

Please contact me to book an initial free of charge 15-min call to see if I’m the right person for you.

We'll talk about what you want to get out of our work together and if you are happy to continue, I'll set up a session and arrange to see you weekly or fortnightly. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask me anything - I'm here to help.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • HCPC registered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist
  • Masters Degree in Psychology with major in Clinical Psychology
    (5 year study programme)
  • EMDR therapy (trauma therapy)

As a clinical and counselling psychologist, I am able to help you by using a wide range of tools and professional experience. I understand how reaching out for help can be stressful. I always try to create a safe space for my clients, without judgment. I work with adolescents and adults.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a powerful healing method that has helped many people, relieve many troublesome symptoms resulting from trauma. It’s exhausting to live in a constant flight or fight state. Reach out and ask for more information. 

I am a member of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS Title) and also a member of the PVG scheme (covering vulnerable children, adolescents and adults).
