About me
Hello, and welcome!
I’m Anni and I am a trauma-informed counsellor offering a warm, thoughtful, and professional space where your individual needs are placed at the centre of our work. I believe therapy is most effective when it feels collaborative - a place where you will feel heard, respected, and supported to explore your experiences at your own pace... a place from which you can find your way forward with confidence.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a qualified integrative counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Level 4 Specialist Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People, Level 2 Accreditation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Level 2 Accreditation in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Level 2 Accreditation in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I am a trauma-informed counsellor and have trained and have experience in working compassionately alongside clients navigating anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), life-changing diagnoses, overwhelm, stress, low self-esteem, low self-worth, and questions about direction or purpose.
My approach is grounded in Person-Centred therapy and informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices where helpful and appropriate.
This means we will not only explore your experiences with care and understanding, but also gently build skills to help you respond to difficult thoughts and emotions with greater steadiness and clarity. Together, we will focus on supporting you to move toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned.
Whether you are facing a specific challenge or feeling uncertain about what comes next, our sessions are shaped around what feels most important and relevant to 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.
