People often come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or work stress that builds over time. Sometimes it's a specific event, other times it's a gradual sense that something isn't right. My approach is warm and collaborative. Therapy offers a space to think together about what you are experiencing and the patterns shaping how you feel about yourself and your relationships. Trauma and attachment often sit beneath the difficulties people bring, and part of the work may involve exploring how earlier experiences have shaped you.

Life after the death of a baby can feel as though the ground has disappeared beneath your feet. Everyday things like pregnancy announcements, social media, or being around babies and young children can be intensely painful, and you may find yourself avoiding people and situations you once enjoyed. You and your partner may grieve very differently, which can create distance, misunderstandings or conflict at the time you most need each other. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious about a possible future pregnancy or whether you will be able to have a baby, counselling can offer a gentle space to begin finding your way forward.

Right now, as you read this, you are likely not in a good place. You may be feeling distressed and hopeless or overwhelmed. This may have been going on for a long time and you may have tried to cope in different ways - but it's no longer working? You have tried talking to friends and family but that isn't working either? Maybe there are things that happened a long time ago in your childhood and this is still affecting you today - therapy can be a place to begin to look at all of this and can be the start of beginning to feel better and with improving self-esteem.

Hi, I am Anni! I work mostly with people who are starting to notice patterns in their relationships or within themselves that don’t feel good anymore. You might keep ending up in similar dynamics, feel stuck in certain ways of relating, or sense that something just isn’t quite right. Many of my clients are navigating relationship difficulties, life transitions, or questions around identity and self-worth. Some are also living between cultures or adjusting to life in a new country. In our work, we slow things down and begin to make sense of what’s underneath—so change feels more meaningful, not just like a quick fix.

Couples rarely come to therapy because of the dishwasher. They come because something has started happening between them that neither fully understands anymore. The same arguments repeat in different forms. One person pursues, the other withdraws. Conversations become scorekeeping, silence, defensiveness, exhaustion. You talk and talk and still leave feeling unheard. Intimacy starts giving way to logistics. Resentment grows quietly underneath ordinary life. Often both people feel alone inside the relationship at the same time.

When a person navigates loss, trauma, depression, anxiety and prolonged grief, the brain is often in 'survival mode', this state can reduce the ability to process complex information. To support emotional healing, a trauma-informed practice integrates specialized therapeutic techniques with practical, daily-life support to address both the traumatic event and the resulting experiences of "stuck" or complicated grief. This approach recognises that when loss involves sudden, violent, or traumatic circumstances, the body’s threat system is activated, requiring a "trauma-first" approach to prioritize safety and stability.

Are you adversely affected by negative or unwanted emotions? A large focus in my work is helping my clients to achieve conscious control of an otherwise subconscious process. After 6 - 8 sessions of working with me, you will have much better control of your emotions, therefore a lot of issues that revolve around unwanted emotions will no longer be an issue. If you're interested in DBT, get in touch and I'll show you another approach that gets much better results with far less effort in a significantly shorter timeframe.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).

Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
