About me
If you're stuck in a rut, feeling overwhelmed, anxious; your normal coping strategies just aren't working, you're noticing patterns in your life that you don't like, or you're struggling in relationships, or life just feels like an endless uphill struggle - then maybe talking it through might help.
And that's what we do. Talk it through. In an anonymous space, without judgement. Someone to hear your story, help you explore all the different pieces, and start to make sense of it all. And once you start to have some clarity on what's been going on, you'll start to see a way out, a way forward, and how your life can change.
That's what I do. I help you on that journey - as a support, a guide, and sometimes a challenger - but always with kindness and genuine desire for you to live better.
Starting therapy can feel scary, but I try to make it as easy as possible for you. I'm friendly and welcoming and the journey takes place in your way, and at your pace. Find out more anna@annaworthingtontherapy.com

Further information
My first training was in Person-centred counselling. This has formed the basis of my approach - to offer a safe and confidential space in which I can help you to explore what is going on.
Since then I have developed my practise using both my experiences and training to develop an approach whereby I tailor the therapy to suit the client. This has evolved from my growing knowledge of neuroscience, EFT, IFS, CBT, TA and other alternative approaches to therapy.
Through our sessions you will gain a clearer perspective on your life, process your emotions, untangle your thoughts, understand your strengths and find a way forward.
If you've never been to counselling or therapy before, I understand what a difficult step it can be. I will make your first steps as easy as possible - providing a supportive and friendly atmosphere, respecting who you are, and where you are at, and all that you bring.
I have the benefit of a wide variety of experiences and people in life. I am open, honest and friendly.
In the free introductory phone call, I will ask you for a brief outline of what you are struggling with, and what your goals for counselling are. I will explain how I work, and it gives you a chance to check that you feel comfortable working with me.
If you choose to work with me, I will work with you to the best ability to achieve your aims. We will have regular reviews to check that you are happy with the work we are doing, and whether you are getting from the sessions what you want and need.
I offer session via zoom/telephone or Walk and Talk in Kennington Park, Burgess Park, Archbishops Park or Battersea Park, SE London.
