About me
Hi, I'm Anna, a integrative counsellor providing face-to-face therapy for adults in Clapham North, SW4, Clapham/Battersea/Wandsworth SW11 as well as online sessions across the UK.
I also offer walk and talk therapy (aka outdoor counselling) in South West London.
My approach is about compassion, empathy and emotional validation.
You may have heard counselling referred to as a ‘safe space’. But what does that mean? Simply put, it's a physical and mental space where you can be yourself without fear of being judged or rejected. It's a place where you can feel validated, supported and comfortable enough to show raw emotion, vulnerability, or explore the parts of yourself that you don’t like, or are ashamed of. That's what I can create for you.
My mission is to help you make better, healthier choices.
I'll support you in talking about the current challenges you are facing; together we might look back on your life to help identify patterns of behaviour that have developed over time and how they may be impacting your life now. I believe this journey of exploration and understanding to be at the heart of change.
Focusing on your autonomy, and self-awareness, my mission is to empower you to make informed choices towards a more content life.

Training, qualifications & experience
CPCAB L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
My practice:
I am a trained Integrative Counsellor which means I draw upon a variety of methods to suit your individual needs.
I use traditional counselling techniques and creative approaches to create a therapeutic experience that is unique to you.
I have experience of working with a range of needs, both specific (anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, perfectionism) and general (feeling helpless or stuck, lacking a sense of purpose or meaning in life).
I have a background in marketing and understand the challenges that often arise from working in a demanding environment. I also have several years' experience of counselling vulnerable adults in recovery from drug and alcohol use.
I work with a range of clients from different cultures, backgrounds and age groups, providing accessible and inclusive counselling.
I can provide both short-term solution-focused therapy and longer-term deeper work on the self.
I have experience providing therapy using the following models: Humanistic, Integrative, Person-centred and Psychodynamic.
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.
