About me

Hi, I’m Annie, and I’m here to support you in finding more ease, connection, and resilience in your life. I’m an Integrative Somatic Psychotherapist, which means I don’t just focus on talking therapy—I work with the mind and body together, using a blend of somatic, cognitive, and creative approaches to help you understand yourself and navigate the world in a way that feels more manageable.

At the heart of my work is the nervous system. I’m trained in Polyvagal Theory and take a deeply trauma-informed approach, recognising that healing isn’t about just “thinking differently” but about working with your body’s innate wisdom. Whether we focus on talking therapy or integrate breathwork, movement, or creativity, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.

I specialise in trauma, including anxiety, disconnection, shame, childhood trauma, pregnancy, baby loss, post natal experiences, sexual violence, burnout, and self-worth. My approach is always tailored to you—this isn’t about pushing or forcing change but about gently meeting you where you are and supporting the shifts that feel right for you.

You already hold the answers within you. Together, we can create the space for your body and mind to reconnect, heal, and move toward the life you want to live.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a fully qualified Creative Arts Psychotherapist and I am certified Somatic therapist, yoga teacher and breathwork facilitator. I have a depth of training, knowledge and experience that can support your journey. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
