My name is Annabel, and I’m a family & systemic psychotherapist working across the lifespan—from young children to older adults. While I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds, I have a particular interest in supporting families with children and adolescents- supporting families through separation- and women with PMDD. Over the past ten years, I’ve worked with families facing a wide range of challenges, including mental health difficulties, behavioural concerns, family conflict, and navigating significant life transitions. I am a skilled assessor and can help disentangle what is going on.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with adults and couples. My clients usually seek help for specific reasons such as panic attacks, physical pain or discomfort without apparent medical reason, phobic anxieties or problems with eating, sleeping or sexuality. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships.

I help children, teens and adults feel more settled, confident and connected. With young people, I use creative and relational approaches to build emotional awareness and resilience. For adults, especially teachers and caregivers, I offer space to manage stress, burnout and identity shifts. My approach is calm, compassionate and focused on helping you (or your child) feel heard and supported. My clients are often capable people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected. For children and teens, it’s anxiety, school stress or confidence struggles. For adults, it’s burnout, boundaries and finding balance again.

You might want to talk about thoughts and feelings that are difficult to discuss with others, or consider what has happened to bring you to this point in your life. This can be a space for exploration and discovery, a protected hour in which you will be listened to. My focus is on listening openly, without judgment, to whatever you bring. I will listen to your experiences and your point of view and together we can look at different perspectives which can help you to live more freely.

Many of the couples and partners I work with feel like they’ve lost their way together. Arguments may repeat in familiar cycles, or silence has replaced communication. Some arrive in crisis — after betrayal or distance has grown — while others simply want to feel closer again but aren’t sure how. My clients often describe feeling unheard, unseen, or caught in patterns they can’t shift, no matter how hard they try. Beneath the surface conflict, there’s usually a longing to reconnect, to understand each other better, and to feel emotionally safe again. Some couples hope to rebuild and move forward together; others are unsure whether

I’m a qualified CBT therapist, Yoga instructor, and studied somatic psychotherapy (movement based). At times life can feel very over whelming, we can lose perspective and fall into a pattern of unhealthy habits. These behaviours may be your coping strategies to help you feel better but aren’t so helpful to your physical and mental well being resulting in feeling anxious and depressed. Having an outside perspective on what’s going on in your life can help refocus your mind and realign your life style with your core values so you can begin living with balance, integrity and autonomy.

Love is complex. We can all encounter relational or intimacy struggles as we try to find our place in the world romantically or sexually. Becoming comfortable with who we are or with others can be challenging. Modern ideas on love include the freedom to choose the kind of relationship that works best for us. Contemporary relationships defy conventions, and in today’s world, where diversity intersects with all aspects of life, understanding love requires a deep dive into the societal, neurobiological, and the emotional landscapes that shape it.

Life often presents challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, trapped in unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and struggling with emotions that seem too intense to manage. These issues can impact our day-to-day life, relationships, and overall well-being, leading to symptoms like anxiety, panic, depression, or a sense of hopelessness. I specialise in supporting individuals through anxiety (including generalised anxiety, OCD, panic, and PTSD), depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. Together, we can work towards meaningful change and emotional balance.

In an ideal world, we would feel unconditionally loved and accepted, free to be openly ourselves, able to develop and maintain meaningful relationships and eager to explore the world around us. The reality is that many of us have had challenging experiences in our lives and we carry inner hurts and wounds. You may be experiencing overwhelming anxiety and/or panic attacks. You may feel depressed, stressed, worthless or have suicidal thoughts. Feelings of anger, sadness, grief, tearfulness or loneliness may be unbearable, perhaps due to bereavement, trauma, abuse or family issues. Maybe you struggle with low self-esteem.

Divorce Counsellors

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
