A BIT ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Anna, a professionally-accredited integrative counsellor for children, young people and adults. My own journey into counselling began several years ago when I was working in an all-through school. I felt that counselling skills could support in the role I held then, and signed up for a Level 3 in counselling. This led me into my own journey of self-discovery and into further training. I undertook my level 4 in counselling and also did a post graduate degree in Low Intensity Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
I now work as a Wellbeing Practitioner and Counsellor. I have undertaken work in both primary and secondary schools as well as a charity for children and young people and a charity for young people and adults.
I have experience of working with people from the age of 6 right through to 70+
HOW I WORK
As a fully qualified counsellor, I am able to offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space for you to explore the issues that you choose to bring. Being listened to & heard can really help and counselling is unique in offering this. We will work together to unpack and make sense of what you are thinking, feeling and experiencing at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I believe every person has the ability to flourish given the right conditions. I treat you as an individual, tailoring the therapy to meet your needs. In order to do this we will collaborate together and I will introduce techniques such as CBT, Gestalt, mindfulness as appropriate.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY?
"I feel I have really improved with my socialising. I now feel less self-conscious in public spaces and am more able to talk to people who I don't always talk to."
“My daughter has improved and we are grateful for the work Anna did with her. We felt we were running out of options and weren't able to source appropriate help for her. My daughter got a lot out of her sessions. The timings and flexibility were great as my daughter moved schools part way through treatment.”
"I was really struggling with the loss of my mum, Anna helped me to process what was going on for me and helped me to climb out of the deep hole I found myself in."
