About me

Hello, I am Anna. I offer a safe and supportive space where together we can explore you reasons for accessing counselling and psychotherapy. You may be looking for some support due to some of the difficulties that may occur at different times through your life for example, work related difficulties, bereavement, relationship difficulties. Or you may be looking for support to process alongside a safe supportive therapist some of your early life experiences or trauma. I work with a range of clients on a short term and long term basis depending on your reason for accessing support and what you and I explore might be helpful.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Therapeutic Skills Trainer with over 15 years’ experience in supporting people at times of difficulty and crisis in a range of different types of services within mental health, addictions, learning disability and children and young people’s services. I have a deep commitment to psychotherapy and the difference it can make in the lives of those who come wanting support.


I work from a relational integrative perspective. By this, I mean that I combine together theories and approaches that together give me a coherent approach to the relational, emotional, cognitive and behavioural aspects of how we are in the world. I am committed to the importance of relationship believing what arises in relationships can be repaired in a relationship and this relationship between client and therapist offers the potential for repair and change.

I have particular interest and experience in working with individuals (adults and children/young people) who have experienced trauma and loss, attachment difficulties or experience dissociation. Typically, this work is long term and the therapy relationship provides a safe, containing space where previous experiences can be integrated to reduce the day to day impact they have on your life.

I am committed to my own ongoing training and development and am currently in the final stages of working towards qualification as a Psychotherapist to be registered with the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists (UKCP).

I work with individuals, couples and groups. I am able to work with adults as well as young people and their families.

Free on-street parking is available.
