Or simply unsure how you feel? Are you using behaviours that are not in your best interest? I understand that unresolved issues can disrupt your life, causing both emotional and often physical difficulties, which then presents itself in ways such as pain, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

Do you have meltdowns and feel like you're losing control? Are you self harming or using behaviours that are not in your best interest? Do you have awful nightmares where you wake up in a sweat and you can't get back to sleep? Or maybe in the daytime you suddenly remember, or feel things that you can't explain? And they feel so upsetting you try anything not to have them? On the other hand, it might be 'not' remembering things that troubles you, it might be memory gaps, daydreaming, losing time or feeling unreal? Maybe the most painful thing for you is struggling with relationships, which leaves you feeling lonely and scared.

Over my time of working in a variety of counselling fields and within my own learning I've recognised the deep pattern when we can't regulate our bodies we can't regulate our minds and in turn it makes relationships, jobs and school become disturbed and often unfulfilling. This can lead to damaging behaviours in a bid to find distraction and self regulation, we can feel like we are in a loop with no way out creating further damage to our self esteem. I work to create a safe space for you to explore adverse childhood events to help you to find a path to recovery and live your best life.

This may be the first time you have decided to seek counselling or psychotherapy, or working with me, may be part of an ongoing personal journey to enhance your life further. Unresolved issues can confuse, distress and disrupt your life, often returning time and time again, causing you both emotional and sometimes even physical difficulties, that can not only affect you, but also might impact on your relationships, work and family life. Some examples of how these issues might manifest, could include you experiencing; depression, anxiety, stress, angry thoughts, addictions, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, eating disorders

Welcome. Hello, I'm Anna. I offer a warm space to be seen, heard, and where we can explore, together, your reasons for accessing Psychotherapy. I understand that we can all encounter times when life feels particularly hard and overwhelming. Perhaps you’re feeling the impact of past hurts, trauma or unresolved issues. Maybe there seems to be no reason for the difficulties and challenges you are currently experiencing, and you just need time and space to talk things through with an experienced professional. I am open to exploring how we can work together and reassure you.

Many of us experience times when we are struggling with our emotions or mental health. However sometimes this can go on for too long and it can have a big impact upon our quality of life. We might notice repeating patterns or cycles that feel hard to make sense of or change.

Are you puzzled why 'things' are not working out for you ? Do you feel 'stressed all the time ? Are you curious about why you are the person you are ? Why you live the life you do ? Is there a pattern you recognise about yourself, that you 'don't get' but seems unchangeable? Do you feel 'stuck' and unable to live the life you want? Does that desire to live the best life you can seem limited by illness or a potential or actual genetic blue print that isn't changeable ? If you have any of these thoughts or similar, then I can help you to find your answers. I have energy, experience, resources and commitment for this work with you.

I help people living with the impact of depression, anxiety, chronic stress, fatigue & chronic pain conditions - who feel out of synch with daily life, debilitated in mental, physical & emotional wellbeing, dysregulated in their body, living in ‘survival mode’. Where their health challenges impact on quality of life, behaviour, mood & mindset, leading to overwhelm, exhaustion, difficulty coping with life’s demands. I support people to be more ‘in the driving seat’ of their lives, understanding themselves & their health needs more, aligning with values & what gives them meaning so they may feel able to participate more fully in life.

People access therapy for many different reasons, but generally we are most likely to reach out for help when our usual coping strategies are no longer effective. At these times it is not always helpful or possible to turn to family or friends, and their well-meaning support may not always help. I will provide a calm and confidential space where you will be able to safely share what is troubling you.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
