About me
Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck, and unsure how to move forward?
Perhaps you spend a lot of time overthinking, worrying or second-guessing yourself. You may be struggling with your confidence or self-esteem, feeling lonely, or finding relationships and family difficulties difficult to navigate.
Sometimes there isn't one obvious reason why we're struggling. Life may look fine from the outside, yet inside you may feel exhausted, disconnected, unhappy or simply not quite yourself.
You don't have to work it all out on your own.
I'm Anna-Marie Clarke, a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I offer online counselling for adults, providing a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you.
A space where you can be yourself
Talking to friends or family isn't always easy. Sometimes we don't want to worry the people we love, or we may feel that they don't fully understand what we're experiencing.
Counselling gives you dedicated time and space to talk about the things that may be difficult to say elsewhere.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, loneliness, low self-esteem, a major life change or simply a sense that something isn't quite right, we can explore what is happening together.
My approach is warm, compassionate and without judgement.
We will take the time to understand what you're experiencing, explore the thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be affecting you, and help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself and what you need.
My approach, I work integratively, drawing on person-centred, Gestalt and existential approaches.
This means I don't believe counselling should be a one-size-fits-all process. Every person is different, so our work together is shaped around you, your experiences and what you want from counselling.
I believe that feeling genuinely heard and understood can be an important part of beginning to make sense of difficult experiences.
Counselling can be a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin to find your own way forward.
Online counselling from the comfort of your own home
I offer online counselling for adults across Wales and the wider UK, allowing you to access support without travelling to appointments.
Online sessions can be particularly helpful if you have a busy lifestyle, find travelling difficult, live in a rural area, or simply feel more comfortable talking from your own familiar surroundings.
All you need is a private space where you feel comfortable talking and a reliable internet connection.
You don't need to wait until things feel unbearable.
You don't have to have a specific diagnosis or be at crisis point to benefit from counselling.
Sometimes the hardest part is recognising that you're struggling and deciding to reach out.
If something in what you've read resonates with you, you're welcome to get in touch. I offer a free introductory call, giving us an opportunity to talk briefly about what brings you to counselling and for you to decide whether I might be the right counsellor for you.

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.
