Therapists
I’m Anna, a qualified BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor. I have experience of working sensitively with many of the issues that can cause distress. I can offer you the space to be heard in a confidential, safe and empathic way and will gently encourage exploration of both present and past experiences at your pace.
Through working together to make meaning of your experiences, it is possible to let go of coping mechanisms that no longer serve you, and to make lasting change. My approach is psychodynamic and the therapeutic relationship is key to the work we will do together. At times we may explore this relationship in order to make sense of internal and interpersonal dynamics. Through working together to make meaning of your experiences, it is possible to let go of coping mechanisms that no longer serve you and to make lasting change. I will support you in a compassionate non-judgemental way to help you navigate your journey. Depending on what brings you to counselling, I offer open-ended or shorter-term therapy. This is guided by you and your needs. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and feel strongly about supporting members of this community, using my knowledge, training and understanding to do so. I encourage a brief free phone call to arrange an initial appointment.
I hold a BACP accredited diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, which allows clients to work in depth, exploring both present and past experiences. I have several years experience of working within a community counselling service and in private practice. My background in Education brings empathy and an understanding of the pressures faced by those working in schools.
