Anna Woodward

I fully appreciate how daunting it can be contacting a Counsellor. You are welcome to contact me for a free, no obligation talk so I can answer any questions you may have and explain how I work.  I hope you will find me down to earth, relaxed and friendly.

Ways in which I can help include:

If you are feeling anxious, sad or angry and your relationships are difficult with a partner or family and friends, then we could unpick your thoughts and feelings and try to help you understand yourself and the way you relate with others more. 

You have a strong inner critic and have low self esteem.  Are you over thinking, or worrying and feeling low for no reason,  affecting your self confidence? Let's look at the obstacles and triggers together and find ways for you to have a new perspective on life.

You have experienced a loss through the death of a loved one.  Or a living loss of  change in lifestyle due to changes in a relationship, job, or the impact of an illness. 

I work with young adults from aged 16 and adults.  I am committed to honouring the equality and diversity of my clients, including a good understanding of neurodiversity and working to the ethical framework of the BACP.

We can talk about what you are experiencing and how you would like life to be happier and more balanced. Counselling can give you a clearer frame of mind, a more positive outlook on life and better communication with others, allowing you to cope and feel more in control of your situation.

I have a down to earth and kind approach with an emphasis on building a non judgemental and trusting relationship with you. I offer a warm and caring space for you to feel heard and supported.

I am experienced in working face to face from my relaxed therapy room in Wimborne.  This is accessible via stairs and has convenient parking close by. 

If you want to work online or over the phone we can do this via zoom, WhatsApp, google meet or teams. Online therapy offers flexibility for appointment times and you can avoid travel time and work from the comfort of your own home at a time that is convenient to you.

I also offer Walk and Talk therapy in the countryside around Wimborne and Verwood, please contact me direct for more details. Or you can read more about this on my blog on my website www.counsellingwithanna.co.uk/blog

If you want to find out more or have some questions call 07425 051459 for a free, no obligation chat, where we can discuss your needs.

You can also contact me via my website, www.counsellingwithanna.co.uk or drop me an email to counsellingwithanna@gmail.com

I am passionate about the positive changes that Counselling can bring to a person's wellbeing and lifestyle. Having the opportunity to be heard without judgement allows you to feel less alone with your own problems and see your thoughts from a different perspective. Wouldn't it be great to spend time on yourself, feel more in control and improve your quality of life?

What can you expect?

We will first meet to talk about what you come to counselling for, this can be done over the phone or via zoom. We will then agree a set time and way of working according to what you want to talk about.  I can work with short and long term counselling, you decide on the number of sessions you wish to have and when you want to end.  

If we are working together online then you can choose an appointment time that is convenient to you. You will find Counselling an opportunity to focus on your own needs and concerns and to unravel those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings in a space that belongs only to you.

We will talk about what you want to achieve from your counselling sessions. The outcomes could be a clearer frame of mind, a more positive outlook, feeling better about yourself and better communication with others allowing you to cope more with life. Once we start our work together we can have regular reviews to check we are working in the right direction for you.

You are welcome to contact me for a free half hour consultation to share brief details of your situation and we can discuss how we could work together. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about me or the counselling process.
