Hi, I’m Ann. I am a qualified and registered counsellor with the BACP and BABCP, offering both person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy. I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult, and I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, addiction, bereavement, or relationship challenges, my goal is to work alongside you at your own pace to promote healing and emotional growth.

My approach is collaborative, combining the empathy and warmth of person-centred counselling with the structured, evidence-based methods of CBT. Together, we can explore your experiences to gain insight into what may be contributing to your difficulties while also developing practical strategies to manage them. This balance between understanding and action helps clients to not only make sense of their emotions but also to create meaningful, lasting change in everyday life.

I have experience supporting adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, panic, stress, addiction, grief, and complex family dynamics. I also bring valuable insight from my background in children’s residential settings, which has deepened my understanding of relationships and the ways early experiences shape who we are. My aim is to help you find greater clarity and resilience, whether that means learning new ways to cope, improving your relationships, or regaining a sense of control and confidence in yourself.
