Anne Raven-Vause SRN, SCM, DPSN, BSc Hons, MBACP
About me
I have over thirty years experience in and around the NHS so have supported many people, with many different problems in many different ways. Now a BACP registered Psychotherapist I work to offer a helping hand to adults in crisis through my wellbeing, psychotherapy and coaching service. Your own crisis may vary from from relationship problems to redundancy, from bereavement to bullying, but if you are feeling anxious or lonely, isolated and invisible or maybe you have just lost sight of who you are because things around you are changing, I may be the person you are looking for.
If you are in need of some time out and want a safe and confidential space while you work things out with someone who genuinely cares then call me. Do it now because you don't want to wait till things to get so bad that they turn into a lifelong health issue.
I am willing to meet you in Wimborne for a, free of charge, chat in the first instance so we can work out how best to start helping you.
I am fully insured and I am able to offer both long term support and outcome focussed short term support tailored to meet your specific needs. I will ensure we have regular reviews as part of your therapeutic treatment plan to help you track your progress with the changes you are making.

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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).

I offer concessionary rates for students, older people and those facing financial hardship.
Cancellation, without 24hr notice, will be charged at the full fee. I do not charge for holidays but would appreciate advance notice and I will do the same regarding my own holidays.
