About me
Hi my name is Anna, I am a fully qualified Psychodynamic counsellor. I specialise in working with both children and adults of all age groups. I have experience of working with families and couples.
I have over 20 years of experience working with adults who have issues around alcohol, drug, domestic abuse, childhood trauma, depression, anxiety and emotional unstable personality disorder. I have experience of working with adults who have experienced physical and sexual harm as children. I am here to help people with a wide range of issues, including Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Low self-esteem, Self-harm, Identity and LGBTQ+ issues. I have experience in working with neurodivergent clients.
Further to my work with adults I have over 20 years of working with children in a therapeutic capacity. I have worked with children in care who have experienced significant loss and trauma. I have always had a passion for working with children and wishing to offer therapeutic support in respect of their trauma. I believe in thinking out side of the box when it comes to therapeutic services and being able to adapt and work with children in a creative manner. I understand the challenges that children face in today’s complex world. I am hoping as a counsellor, I will be able to able to help children navigate the issues they are facing by offering regular weekly counselling.
I work with children and adults of all age ranges. I adapt the counselling to meet the needs of the clients I work with. The services I offer is talking and play therapy. I understand that some clients may benefit from gardening or walking therapy and this is a service I also offer.
I am the local village counsellor and based in Brantham, where I have a warm and comfortable counselling room.
Please get in touch if you feel you, or someone close to you, need help.

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.
