Anne Worrall BSc Honours MBACP
About me
Since studying Psychology at University College London, I have volunteered for many years, specializing in children and adults dealing with trauma and bereavement. This has been varied and demanding and I have also travelled widely.
My first volunteering experience was at Great Ormond Street Hospital as a Volunteer assistant play therapist. I currently am a bereavement volunteer and supervisor for Cruse charity working with adults and children; Vice Chair for Lambeth & Southwark Mind. I also work as a counsellor for Momentum, a charity helping families with children with life limiting illnesses and I see some private clients. My latest voluntary role is as a qualified counsellor at Royal London Trinity Hospice SW4.
As an integrative counsellor, I work with different elements in therapy and specialized in bereavement work. This means that I can take different approaches to help each individual cope with their unique problems and world.
I work with the here and now, the present and the past, with childhood memories, beliefs and thoughts which affect us in our everyday lives. Together we can explore how to reach your ultimate goals and to enable your inner self to be unlocked and understood. I respect that we all experience life differently, depending on our past, our culture and unique lens.
I place the relationship between therapist and client at the heart of my work by creating a safe, trusting, caring, confidential and non judgmental space for you.
I offer One to One Face to Face (subject to Covid restrictions) , telephone, Zoom and Skype counselling for adults, students, young adults and children.

Further information
To start therapy with me:
E mail me or ring me on my mobile with any queries you may have (such as current availability and your current needs). E mail is best as I sometimes cannot take calls. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Do not worry as I will try and make this step as easy as possible as it can be quite daunting.
Other than my charity work, I also practice privately in London SW11 or I work remotely.
I offer counselling remotely by telephone, Skype, Zoom so you can get the help you need during self isolation and wherever you are in the United Kingdom.
I am currently offering concessions for key workers
I can offer short, medium or long term counselling depending on your individual needs and goals.
I adhere to the Codes of Ethics and Standard for counselling and psychotherapy of the BACP and am a Registered BACP member. I also hold a Professional Professional Liability Insurance with Towergate Insurance.
I speak fluent French.
