Hello,
I’m Anna, a BACP registered Person-centred Psychotherapist.
I work with people who are experiencing emotional difficulties for various reasons - people who are navigating significant life changes, or simply a feeling of being disconnected from themselves.
Common struggles I see in my therapy room include, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Whatever brings you to therapy I will provide a calm, consistent, relational space where you can begin to understand what’s going on inside you — at your pace, in your own way.
I hold a Degree in Person-centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working in line with their Ethical Framework.
Why I do this work
I’ve always been drawn to the relational, human side of counselling. I’ve seen how transformative it can be when someone is met without judgment, when their inner world is respected, and when they’re given space to find their own path.
This isn’t just something I’ve witnessed in others — it’s something I’ve experienced myself.
Being in therapy gave me the chance to pause, to turn inward, and to meet parts of myself I hadn’t fully understood. It helped me soften toward my own experience, and to feel more grounded in who I am. That process wasn’t always easy, but it was deeply meaningful — and it continues to shape who I am, both personally and professionally.
I chose this work because I believe in the capacity of people to grow, evolve, and reconnect with themselves when they’re supported with curiosity and care.
It’s not about fixing — it’s about discovering. It’s about remembering that you are allowed to take up space, to feel, to ask questions, and to move forward in a way that’s right for you.
My Values
My work is grounded in presence, care, and a deep respect for your inner world. These values shape the space I hold and the way I walk alongside clients:
Freedom
Therapy is not about meeting external expectations.
It’s a space to gently let go of the ‘shoulds’, the roles you’ve had to hold, and the pressure to be anything other than yourself.
I offer space where you can move at your pace, explore what matters to you, and feel free to come as you are.
Expression
You don’t have to say things perfectly here.
Whether you arrive with tangled thoughts, silence, emotion, or uncertainty — all parts of your experience are welcome.
There’s no “right way” to be in therapy. The process unfolds in your own time, and in your own words.
Connection
I believe we heal in relationship — through being seen, heard, and not having to hold it all alone.
Our therapeutic relationship is the foundation: built on trust, warmth, and consistency.
It’s within that connection that growth becomes possible.
Authenticity
I don't believe in being the expert in your life.
While I bring professional knowledge and presence, the real insight — the change that lasts — comes when you begin to understand yourself more deeply.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing from the outside. It’s about creating a space where your clarity can begin to emerge, and where you can feel safe enough to be real.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked as a counsellor within a hospice setting, supporting individuals and families through grief and loss, and providing dedicated family bereavement support. I also worked with a charity offering counselling and wellbeing support to Trans+ community, exploring identity, belonging, and self-acceptance.
As part of my degree, I undertook research into childhood bereavement, which deepened my understanding of how early experiences of loss shape us and how compassionate support can make a difference at any stage of life.
These experiences continue to inform my practice and my commitment to offering a safe, inclusive, and understanding space for every client I work with.
