Who I Work With
You may look like you're managing things well on the outside while inside things feel tangled or overwhelming. You might find yourself questioning your decisions, feeling guilty when you say no or unsure about what you truly like, want or need. The sense of who you are might feel unclear and shaped more by outside expectations than your own inner voice.
​
Many people grow up in environments where love seemed conditional or where anger and silence create uncertainty and fear. Some experience a kind of neglect where one parent turns away while the other leaves a lasting emotional imprint. These early experiences can live on in adulthood, showing up as people-pleasing, self-doubt or staying quiet to avoid conflict.
​
I work with people who are beginning to notice how these patterns influence their present. Therapy can offer a steady space to explore this. Through our work together, you can begin to reconnect with the parts of you that have always been there but were waiting to be heard.
About Anna
I'm Anna, a psychodynamic counsellor with a gentle and grounded approach. I work with adults who are feeling lost, stuck or overwhelmed. Therapy with me is about listening to what's underneath; your thoughts, emotions, patterns and deeper parts of you that are waiting to be seen and heard.
​
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in-line with their Ethical Framework to ensure your safety and wellbeing are always prioritised.
​
My way of working is relaxed and relational. I'll offer you a space where you can speak freely without judgement and at a pace that feels comfortable for you. While my work is rooted in psychodynamic theory, I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together.
​
You don't have to have all the answers and you don't have to figure it out alone. You're welcome exactly as you are and we'll start from there.

Next Steps
If what you've read here resonates with you, you might be wondering what happens next. Here's where we begin:
​
-
Get in touch: Use the contact form to send me a message. You don't need to know exactly what to say, just a few lines about what's bringing you here is enough. I'll reply as soon as I can.
​​
-
Book a free, no obligation 20-minute phone or video call: We'll talk about what is going on for you and how I work. It's a chance to ask any questions and get a feel for whether this space feels right for you. There's no pressure, it's just a chat.
​​
-
Come in for a 50 minute consultation: If you decide to go ahead, we'll book an initial in-person session. This is a deeper space to talk about your reasons for seeking therapy and to explore whether on-going sessions might be helpful. It's also a chance for us to meet and see how it feels to work in the room.
​
You don't have to have this all figured out to begin, just the sense that something in you is ready.
