Are you struggling with trauma, low self esteem, depression, self sabotaging behaviours, obsessions ,anxiety, or major life events? There comes a time when these issues get on top of us , we feel stuck and need to make a change!. I am a Registered and fully accredited BABCP Psychotherapist and Core Mental Health Professional (NMC Registered) and I’d love to help you on your journey towards change and self-discovery. My goals are to help you understand yourself, life experience and your trauma on a deeper level then to help brake unhelpful cycles/ patterns of thoughts and behaviours creating a positive change.

I provide support for people wanting to make a change to their lives in order to live well and live healthy. Changing an element of your lifestyle can be extremely challenging, for example managing your weight, stopping smoking or reducing alcohol consumption. Often these factors are tied up with the complexities of our lives, managing stress, living with illness, overcoming obstacles in our lives. I work with people to help them make lasting and meaningful changes to behaviours that are causing them difficulties and find ways to improve overall health and wellbeing.

Perhaps you may feel anxious, worried or on edge? Maybe you struggle getting on with daily tasks or not enjoying things as much as you did? Do you have negative memories from the past that impact your life now? Or you may have negative thoughts about yourself which may affect your relationship with others? We may talk about your difficulties and set goals to help you in therapy. In our sessions you will experience acceptance and empathy so as to express your thoughts and feelings in a safe and warm space created by our therapeutic relationship.

Talking through personal feelings and experiences, with someone you trust not to judge, allows healing, acceptance, self care and awareness develop. Some may need to explore early years experiences to better understand the impact early experiences may have had. Others may want to start with understanding themselves in current relationships with others. It may be certain anxiety triggers or behaviours that someone may want to work through, or a general sense of low mood and lack of motivation. Each person is unique and accessing support can feel like a big step.

I work with people of all ages and backgrounds who may be facing a range of difficulties which is creating emotional distress. People may be affected by low mood/depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, intense and overwhelming emotions, problems in managing relationships, anger, adjustment to life changes and transitions, grief and loss, low confidence, shame and self criticism. I can also help people who are pregnant or in the postnatal period and struggling with fear around birth, birth trauma, parenting, bonding and attachment, and perinatal (baby) loss.

Hey! I'm Anna, a CBT Therapist specialised in children, pre-teens, adolescents and young adults; ages 5-25. I can also work with adults.

I would say my expertise lies mostly with anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. I work with the clients goals in mind, at their own pace and ability. No two clients are the same and adjust my skills accordingly. Whether you’re looking for small changes in perspective, understanding or attitude, or you want a deeper more meaningful change in thinking, behaviour and habits I am willing to walk that journey with you.

We are told how important exercise is for our physical well-being, your mental health is no different. Mental health and physical health are interconnected. Stress, anxiety, and depression can manifest as physical symptoms. So, maintaining good mental health can positively influence physical health. Therapy changes lives and for that reason, if you are unhappy, stressed, and not sure what to do, you need to remember that life is short, and you deserve to live the life you want. Put yourself first and do what makes you happy! I will help you become your own therapist, providing you with healthy tools and support tailored for you.

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Constantly held back by emotions and feelings that you can't 'shake off'? Do you keep saying 'never again', and end up doing the same things despite not wanting to do it? I know what it's like, but your life doesn't have to be like this. I understand asking for help can seem scary even though it is the very thing you want and need. These are all common feelings and experiences amongst the many adults I've worked with since 2010, and continue to do so in a gentle, effective, and safe way. I offer a free telephone call so you can ask questions and we can determine how best to help you.

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to friends and can't talk to family, it is all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non-stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friends, sudden or chronic terminal illness, loss of the person you used to be, ageing, guilty lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving, or the prickling heartache from loss of your pet. You don’t even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self. You need a safe space.
