About me
Hi, I'm Anna, Clinical Psychologist, Compassion Focused Therapist and EMDR Therapist. Sometimes life can be challenging, and we all need some extra support to help us cope. This is where I can help, by offering a warm and collaborative space to help you better understand and manage your difficulties, working towards emotional wellness. I work with adults and teens with anxiety, depression, trauma, burn out, relational difficulties, low self-esteem, and high levels of guilt and shame. Having suffered with ME/CFS and Long Covid, I also specialise in working with people with chronic illness. I offer appointments nationally online and also in person in the North East of England. Please contact me on anna@rowantreepsychology.co.uk to arrange a 15 minute free phone consultation to see if we're a good fit.
