Counselling in AL1
I understand it can be hard to approach therapy for the first time, or maybe you are currently in need of support during an uncertain time or are feeling distressed. It can feel difficult knowing where to start. We would work together to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours so you can better understand yourself and others. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can support you and give you understanding about your emotional responses to life events and insight to help cope in times of stress. I offer a safe and confidential space, where you can begin to make sense of your feelings and to identify how you would like to move forward.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained despite managing responsibilities on the outside? Are long-standing patterns in your relationships or sense of identity beginning to affect your confidence or direction? I work with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation difficulties, and complex relational challenges. With over eight years of clinical experience and training in both counselling and psychology, I offer structured, evidence-based therapy focused on clarity, emotional stability, and practical change.

Thank you for visiting my page. I appreciate that seeking Psychological Therapy can be a daunting process, whether that be for yourself or a family member. I recognise that a significant part of the therapy process is establishing a positive relationship with those I support. I work mostly with adolescents, young people and adults and offer a flexible approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based interventions to try and find to the right avenue of support for your needs and goals.
Alongside my private practice I lecture at the Anna Freud Centre providing training and development for future therapists.

As life happens, we pick up puzzle pieces from others, from our parents, from friends... their friends, the news, the world... from life! And these puzzle pieces gradually arrange themselves over our inner selves, until we might even forget what it looked or felt like to actually be ourselves.

Hello, I'm Luisa. I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist for children and young people. Being an Integrative therapist means I am trained to use various therapeutic modalities and skills to support each young person, including using Play-Based techniques, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, Person-Centred approach and using Systemic thinking. I work with warmth, empathy, and a non-judgmental attitude, holding space for any young person to explore their feelings and experiences in a safe, ethical environment. I offer a modern and fresh perspective, bringing a warm, ‘human’, welcoming vibe to sessions.

Perhaps there is a problem that is causing you worry, sleep difficulties and your stomach to churn. Or your life may have become more difficult due to avoiding certain situations or things. Perhaps getting out of bed in the morning feels too hard, or you have found yourself putting off going to bed at night. Maybe you had a horrible experience and the memories keep intruding on your life, making you feel jumpy or on edge. Or maybe you think your problems are small and you tell yourself off for being so affected by them. If things have been getting you down I can help.

Why counselling? Sometimes life throws some pretty awful things at us and we should not have to cope on our own. Thankfully these days we don’t have to. This is where counselling comes in. It is a safe place which is yours to talk in confidence about what ever you want. Sometimes all we need is to be heard and to have someone who is non-judgemental, who listens, is empathetic and kind.
With Couples Counselling I offer quick, effective, couples counselling programme.
I understand that couples usually have time restraints and results have to be quick. So book a FREE 15 minute on line call to find out more.

I work with women at transitional stages in life: leaving home, becoming a parent or empty nester, changing career or retiring, living with illness or disability, experiencing bereavement or the end of a relationship.
You might feel that you don’t know yourself any more, that you are overwhelmed, filled with anxiety for the future. A major life event might have smashed to pieces the world you thought you knew. Your sleep is affected, you no longer feel joy, hope, peace or security.
Life changes can leave us feeling lost, frightened, and struggling. I know how hard it is when we no longer know who we are or see the way forward.

My ideal clients are adults who feel "stuck" in old family patterns or are navigating the pressures of the "sandwich generation"—balancing parenting with caring for aging relatives. You may feel you are repeating a "blueprint" you didn't choose, influenced by childhood trauma, family breakdown, or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Whether you are a professional struggling with high-functioning anxiety or a parent wanting to ensure you don’t pass down your own past burdens, I provide a space to explore these "invisible threads" and build a healthier emotional legacy .

I offer therapy to adults, young people, and couples. Counselling can help when we feel stuck, lost and overwhelmed and can’t find a way to make sense of those difficult feelings on our own. Speaking to someone who isn’t a friend or family member can help you to see a problem from a different perspective, without judgement or bias. You may be struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger or loss. Perhaps you'd like to find the mental tools to help give you greater resilience and confidence. Or you could be looking for ways to manage conflict and improve communication within your personal relationships.

I'm Annie, MBACP registered and highly experienced having spent years in law, industry and media as well as psychotherapy. I use a mixture of tradition and modern therapeutic techniques. My background means I work with professionals who may have anxiety and stress at work or experiencing life's transitions including navigating divorce, relationships or issues with addiction. It might be you feel anxious, overwhelmed or something just feels not right at work or home. Many of my clients find that working with me is often the bridge they need between where they are now and where they want to be and go on to lead fulfilling lives.

On the outside it looks like everything's fine. You appear confident in work, people seek your advice, you've been considered a high achiever for most of your life. But on the inside, you feel exhausted and disconnected. It's hard for you to switch off, you constantly feel guilty for resting, you hate asking for help. You're irritable, losing sleep and although you're functioning everyday, you're surviving more than you are thriving. It feels like no matter what you do, it's never good enough. Your inner critic says to just get on with it, other people have it worse. But, you're ready for change, you just don't know where to start.

Anxiety can take many forms, but it often shows up as persistent worry, overthinking, avoidance, physical tension, or feeling constantly on edge. Many people I work with feel stuck in cycles of fear and uncertainty that affect their daily life, relationships, work and confidence. CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours. Together, we identify the patterns that keep anxiety going and develop practical strategies to help you respond differently. My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms, but to help you develop long-term tools and confidence to manage anxiety independently.

Are you struggling with patterns in your relationships that keep repeating? Grieving a significant loss and feeling stuck in the process? Living with illness that's affecting your emotional wellbeing and relationships? I understand how these challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating.

I work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety in relationships and low self-esteem or feelings of not being 'good enough.'
You may feel anxious or on edge in relationships but more confident when on your own, or notice repeating relationships patterns that feel difficult to change. You may struggle to express how you feel, leading to frustration, self-doubt or feeling overlooked.
