Hi, I'm Anna. I'm a warm, friendly CBT psychotherapist, providing therapy for children and young people ages 8-24. I am always child-centred; your child's voice will be at the heart of us working together towards their goals. I have worked with children and young people for over 15 years across a variety of settings including charities and private health care. I have delivered CBT and adapted therapy creatively as required, to meet the diverse needs of my young clients. Following an initial call, I will complete a clinical assessment to ensure the best treatment pathway and will take time to fully understand your therapy goals.
I am based in South Cumbria but work across the UK, with sessions delivered remotely on Teams. I also offer the option for face-to-face therapy locally, for clients able to travel to Kendal. 50-minute sessions are delivered weekly
I am passionate about supporting children and young people to understand and recover from the challenges holding them back from achieving their potential. I will take time to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, as well as a shared understanding of the difficulties, and can include parents in the therapy journey as required.

I will spend time getting to know you and your difficulties, to help us work together to understand what is keeping you stuck. I will help you to understand your problems and to set goals to get you where you want to be. We can expect to see symptoms begin to lift within the first few weeks, and recovery typically after 8-16 sessions depending the severity of your symptoms.

I typically use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; this means we will work at understanding any difficult or unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behaviour which may be keeping you stuck. We can work together creatively and make the sessions interesting and even fun! I can help you to find strategies and tools to help you increase your resilience and confidence in situations you find difficult.
