Counselling in BR1

Welcome! Looking for a way forward, a chance to be listened and helped. During this time I am offering counselling via Zoom, Skye, Whats App video call or telephone counselling. I am a BACP Accredited Integrative Counsellor with 14 years' experience of working with adults and children in private practice and schools.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in the NHS, third sector as well as private therapy. I specialise in working with adults who experience anxiety, low mood or stress. I am trained in evidence based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy. Therapy is tailored to individual need and goals, using a person centred and strengths based approach. I also have experience adapting therapy for adults with a diagnosis of autism and learning disabilities.

Now accepting new clients for treatment starting in August 2024. In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’ clock in the morning - F. Scott Fitzgerald. Insomnia is a 24 hour condition which erodes one’s ability to lead a fulfilling life. Most people live with insomnia for an average of ten years before seeking help. I recognize how bad things must be for you to be here. Despite the complexity of the initial cause of insomnia and its impact on your life, I offer a brief but highly effective treatment. It will demand a lot from you, but if you are determined for things to change I am here to help.

Searching online for a therapist can be a daunting prospect. If you have made it this far you have taken a huge step, in acknowledging to yourself that you may need support. I can help you now in taking the next steps towards feeling ‘un-stuck’ and able to move forward with your life. You might be here because something is bothering you or you have experienced a major life event. Maybe a relationship in your life has ended or changed. There are also times when life seems to be going well, but you are still feeling low, depressed or not yourself.

Sarah is a successful paralegal in the City who struggled with shameful feelings and self-disgust most of her life. Typically as Christmas was approaching and lots of parties invitations started to arrive on her desk, she would surrender into procrastination and self-criticism, in order to avoid a situation she felt likely to fail, supported by an exaggerated set of predictions about social embarrassment or other social disasters. Sarah struggles to improve her confidence and esteem - in spite of a successful academic and professional life. Her efforts are genuine but exhausting and she often is trapped by episodes of depression.

Life can be difficult, with highs and lows, as well as times where we feel stuck, unsure of our feelings or why we are feeling a certain way. Feeling low in mood and depressed, or anxious and worried may be new to you, or it may be a problem you feel you have always experienced, or maybe an event/situation has occurred and you would like support with processing what's gone on. This might be a bereavement, work or relationship issues, or maybe parental issue . I support both individuals and couples. My goal is to help you learn how to understand your difficulties, as well as support you in making changes and reaching your goals.

You might feel as though you are losing control. That life is delivering more than you can handle or you feel broken beyond repair. It's not unusual to experience feelings like these. It can be difficult to manage them or to believe that things will ever change. Perhaps you are dissatisfied with personal relationships or in your job. I offer a safe and confidential space to explore, reflect and grapple with the issues that impact upon your life.

People struggle to talk frankly about their sexual lives and relationships. Although difficulties arising from sex and relationships are much more prevalent than most people think, only a few people can still share their struggles with others. Therefore, psychosexual and relationship therapy and psychotherapy offer a unique and confidential space to have those conversations with me, which means you can reach out for support in these areas regardless of your sexual preferences and relationship experiences.

Welcome to my profile. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Sometimes life can be a struggle and reaching out can be daunting, it can be helpful to talk with someone that is not connected to your life or the difficulties you are facing. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

My name is Anna. I retrained as an Integrative Counsellor, having experienced for myself, how transformative counselling was on my own personal journey. Life can be hard, and I will walk alongside you as you navigate feelings such as fear, confusion, shock, shame, rejection, grief, anger, and sadness. I will support your therapeutic journey within an empathetic, authentic, non-judgemental, safe space. I work collaboratively and will help you find a deeper understanding of how you think and how to process the parts of life that are hard for you right now.

August 2024 availability: child (12+) and adult autism assessments. I’m HCPC registered with 17 years clinical experience, and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. Taking the first step towards getting support can feel daunting. You want to know that whomever you entrust with your story will listen, challenge, and support you. Through developing a trusting and empathic relationship with you, I aim to support your ability to reflect, develop your resilience, and make meaningful changes.

As an individual or within a relationship, sometimes life can feel really difficult. Whether it's a temporary phase, distress in overcoming a difficult experience or unresolved problems from the past, we have all, at some point in our lives and relationships, experienced difficulty in understanding and making sense of our lives. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, angry or frustrated and questioning our ability or our confidence to cope. Counselling has many benefits and over time can help you make sense of feelings and difficulties leading to greater self awareness.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I believe in the power of a supportive, caring and honest relationship where you are unconditionally accepted, with all aspects of yourself welcomed into the counselling space. I will enable you to identify parts of yourself that may be holding you back in relationships, work and other elements of life so that you can take control of your life and embrace the challenges of everyday existence. We will discuss your problems and opportunities and identify methods for achieving your goals to move forward towards change.

Do you need space and time to talk? If so, I am here to offer you the time and space to explore your worries and concerns in a confidential and safe environment. In a busy world full of judgements and rules, I can offer you a space where your thoughts and worries will be heard, acknowledged and respected. I can provide you with a place where you will not feel judged and where you can feel free to express your deepest concerns. I can appreciate that making the first step can be incredibly challenging. If you have not experienced any counselling or psychotherapy before it is understandable that you may be nervous about what to expect.

I provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am dedicated to helping clients navigate through challenges, gain self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies.

Childhood trauma, unhealthy patterns, addiction and trauma can all result in unresolved pain. Being able to explore that pain in a non judgemental, confidential, empathic space can be an essential life changing experience. Many clients come to therapy wanting change and emotional health, awareness of where that pain comes from and the journey to understand its impact on our lives today is a crucial part of healing. Often our trauma is not recognised, believed or simply understood. Yet we're living with the impact of these issues. It takes courage to acknowledge our pain but for those who can it can give us the tools to change.
