Hello, I’m Anna.

I’m a person-centred psychotherapist and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I work with young people and adults who may be finding life difficult for many different reasons. Some people come to counselling during times of big change, while others simply feel that something isn’t quite right or that they’ve become disconnected from themselves.

In my therapy room I often work with people experiencing things like anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or low mood. Whatever brings you to counselling, my aim is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly and begin to understand what’s going on for you.

We work at your pace, exploring your thoughts and feelings in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Training and professional membership:

I have a degree in Person-centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means I follow their Ethical Framework, which guides how counsellors work safely and professionally with clients.

Why I do this work

I’ve always been drawn to the human side of counselling — the simple but powerful experience of being truly listened to.

I’ve seen how much it can help when someone is met without judgement, when their feelings are taken seriously, and when they’re given the space to explore things in their own way.

This isn’t just something I’ve seen in others — it’s something I’ve experienced myself.

Being in therapy gave me the chance to slow down, reflect, and understand parts of myself I hadn’t fully noticed before. It helped me become more accepting of my own experiences and 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 today, both personally and professionally.

I chose this work because I believe that, when people are given the right support and space, they can begin to understand themselves more clearly and move forward in ways that feel right for them.

Counselling isn’t about being “fixed”.
It’s about having the space to explore who you are, what you feel, and what matters to 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.

    • BA Hons Person-centred Counselling and Psychotherapy.

    • Level 5 Diploma in Person-centred Counselling.

    • Levels 2 & 3 in Counselling Skills & Practice.

  • 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.
