About me
I’m Anna, a qualified BACP registered person-centred counsellor offering online therapy across the UK.
I became a therapist after experiencing my own therapy during a time when I had lost my career and felt uncertain about who I was or what came next. That period was difficult, but it also gave me a clear understanding of what it feels like to be met by someone who can stay with you in uncertainty without rushing you or trying to fix things. It showed me the value of being properly heard and understood, especially when life feels like it has shifted in ways you did not choose.
That experience shaped the way I work today. I aim to offer the kind of space where you can slow things down, make sense of what you are going through, and feel less alone in it. I am not there to provide quick answers but to support you in finding your own meaning at your own pace.
I specialise in supporting adults experiencing trauma, addiction, neurodiversity including ADHD and autism, and LGBTQ+ related experiences. I also have experience working with people in emotional distress through crisis support work, which has strengthened my ability to stay steady and present with strong feelings and difficult moments.
I live with ME/CFS and CRPS which gives me a lived understanding of chronic illness and how it can affect energy, pain, and daily functioning. This informs a grounded and realistic approach, particularly for people who are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or limited by long term physical or emotional strain.
Alongside this I hold a qualification in addiction support and have completed training in neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming practice. I aim to offer a warm, non-judgemental and collaborative space where you feel respected and able to be yourself.
At the heart of my practice is a belief in the importance of a consistent therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood and not judged. I bring both professional training and lived experience of therapy into how I sit with clients now, supporting you at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor. I have a diploma in Counselling. I have done a number of CPD courses. These have been in ASIST:Suicide prevention, trauma informed practice, autism, OCD, intrusive thoughts, LGBT+ therapy, online and telephone counselling and more.
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.
