Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in Bristol
Life can feel confusing, exhausting, or difficult to navigate alone. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, addiction, grief and bereavement, as well as those facing complex transitions such as midlife challenges, parenting children with additional needs, and questions around neurodiversity and identity.
My approach is thoughtful, warm, and collaborative. I offer a confidential space where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard, without judgement or pressure. It's an opportunity to, reflect, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and what is keeping you stuck.

Additionally I specialise in:
OCD,
Neurodivergent adults, parents of children with additional needs, partners of adults on the autism spectrum.
Sometimes difficulties can have a major impact on our well-being, relationships or work. Maybe friends and family can offer some support but we may also choose to see a qualified and experienced practitioner, who can provide a safe space in which to work with whatever is going on for us. I have a wide range of experience, including working in the NHS, at university as Associate Lecturer (14 years) and in a GP practice as a Lead Therapist and Supervisor, delivering Relational Integrative Therapy. I draw on Psychodynamic and Person-Centred approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), relational CBT and CFT (Compassion-Focussed Therapy).

I have experience supporting people with the following: Alzheimer’s – Anxiety – Bereavement – Low Self-Esteem – OCD – Panic Attacks – Stress – Suicidal Thoughts - Trauma.
Are you feeling so overwhelmed that you feel out of your depth? Or experiencing a sense of loss, unable to cope? Fear is our worst enemy, and we will try and find a way of taking back control. If you feel you are struggling there is a strength in reaching out for support. Counselling helps you to gain a better understanding of self through the therapeutic process, and I believe we are all unique and have the potential to change, therefore develop a belief in your ability to cope. You will begin to make sense of the past and begin to recognise your true self.

You may be carrying the effects of trauma, long-term stress or difficult life experiences that your body hasn't been able to to fully process. Perhaps you feel on the edge, numb, overwhelmed, or easily triggered, without knowing why. Many of my clients want to understand what their nervous system is doing, why they feel stuck and how they can feel safer, calmer and more connected inside themselves again.
You may be carrying the impact of early experiences that left you feeling unsafe, unseen or overwhelmed. Childhood trauma often shows up later as anxiety, over-thinking, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting.

I work with both individuals and couples. As an individual, some sudden event may have thrown you into crisis and challenged your ability to cope. This might include, a difficulty in a relationship; a loss/bereavement of some kind; or a change that has resulted in stress/anxiety and a feeling of being destabilised. Alternatively you may be suffering from a more general, on-going struggle to see any direction or purpose. A feeling of being disconnected from yourself and others and of there being very little enjoyment in your life.

You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, or exhausted from trying to cope on your own. Whether you are living with the impact of trauma, struggling with addiction, or navigating the challenges of ADHD, it can feel isolating and difficult to know where to turn. My aim is to help you feel more in control, more connected to yourself, and more able to move forward with confidence. Reaching out can feel like a big step, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful and lasting change. I offer a free 30 minute session to get to know one another and sessions cost between £40-60 each from there on.

Are you constantly fighting an internal battle? Whether it’s the weight of a 'loud' inner critic, burnout, or realising your own behaviours have started to worry you. These feelings are often signals that something deeper needs attention. You might be struggling to set boundaries or finding that past experiences are still showing up in your present life in ways you didn't expect.
Hi I’m Anna, I work with adults who are ready to stop just “getting by” and start becoming who you always meant to be. I offer a safe, space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and how past experiences may still be influencing the present.

Perhaps you are struggling to communicate your needs within a particular relationship in your life; or feel “stuck” in repetitive communication patterns with others. Perhaps you have been struggling with your own mental health, and are noticing how this is impacted by, and impacts upon your position in certain close relationships. As an individual, couple, or family, I can explore with you different ways of understanding and communicating about those things which may be troubling you. I believe that therapy can help us to tap into our own resources and solutions to problems which maybe feel more difficult to discover alone.

So often in our lives we reach a place where we are struggling in some capacity or another. It may be a deep-rooted issue that goes back to childhood, a past relationship or a trauma. It may be some destructive behaviour such as a form of self-harm or an eating disorder. It may be a negative thought process that is having an impact on our daily life. Whatever the issue, I believe counselling can help. Having a place where we can allow ourselves time and a calm space to think, talk and work things out can be absolutely priceless.
