About me
Hi, I'm Anne Lewis, and I'm a psychotherapist working online across the UK. I help individuals and couples who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low self-esteem, feeling stuck, and exhausted by the pressure of trying to hold everything together.
Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent, or are beginning to wonder whether ADHD or autism might explain why life has always felt that bit harder. Others simply know they're tired of overthinking everything, low self confidence, or putting everyone else's needs before their own.
I know it can take courage to seek therapy, so I am really pleased that you are taking this step for yourself and for your relationships.
I help people with:
- Anxiety, Social Anxiety, and constant overthinking
- ADHD, autism and mixed neurodivergence
- Rejection sensitivity (RSD) and high sensitivity
- Low self-esteem and self-doubt
- Imposter syndrome
- Perfectionism and high self-expectations
- Burnout and emotional overwhelm
- People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
- Emotional regulation
- Feeling misunderstood or "too much"
- Life transitions and identity
- Loss and bereavement
- LGBTQ+ issues and identity exploration
- Relationship problems, including recurring patterns of conflict, communication difficulties
- Polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships, attachment and relationship dynamics
- ADHD and parenting
Therapy isn't about fixing you. It is about understanding who you are, identifying what you need, and working out how to get those needs met, both by yourself and by others.
About My Approach
Therapy can be helpful in allowing us to process our thoughts and feelings. The basis of the therapy I offer is very much around empowering my clients, and I work from a client centred approach, which means we can work with whatever comes up for you. It’s a confidential space, without any judgment, where you will have the space and time to talk with me about anything you would like to.
My work is neurodivergent affirming, compassionate and practical.
I have lived and professional experience of ADHD and autism, which means I understand that many of the strategies people have been given simply do not fit the way their brains work. We'll explore together what is happening beneath the surface, helping you understand yourself with greater clarity and compassion rather than criticism.
I'm also a member of the LGBTQ+ community, so creating an affirming, inclusive and non-judgemental space is important to me, both in my own work and across the therapist team at VIVA Therapy.
What to Expect
- 50 minute online sessions for individuals, 60 minute sessions for couples therapy
- Fee: £70 per session for individuals, £110 for couples therapy
- Therapy at a pace that feels right for you
Some people come for short-term therapy around a specific issue, while others choose longer-term therapy to create lasting change. We'll review your progress together and you are always free to pause or finish therapy whenever it feels right.
Although I work with individuals, I also specialise in supporting couples where ADHD, autism or other forms of neurodivergence are part of the relationship, and I lead a carefully selected team of therapists at VIVA Therapy. If I'm not the right fit, you won't need to continue your search. I'll personally help match you with one of the therapists at VIVA Therapy whose experience and approach best suits your needs.
Get in touch and book your first session with me. If you're ready to understand yourself better and make lasting changes, I'd love to hear from you.
