I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered in the UK with 9 years of professional work experience. My primary mode of therapy is Transactional Analysis (Psychotherapy) using a relational approach. I have worked with a variety of people facing a range of mental health concerns and disorders, as well as relationship issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, acceptance, empathy and compassion. Sessions are client led, where your needs and goals are kept front and centre at all times. We will build a treatment plan, to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support you in that journey, by providing a safe confidential space for you to explore your concerns.

Ann was always warm and empathetic. She always sensed ways to empower me and came up with creative, very relatable ways for me to cope with my grief. I strongly recommend her.

Ann is a wonderful therapist. She helps me talk through difficult things and get to the bottom of my thought patterns and feelings. She is always supportive, reassuring, and respectful. She picks up on cues very well that I otherwise would not have noticed myself. She makes it easy to talk about things I especially don’t know where to start with. Overall, very positive experience.
