Therapy is a beginning, an opportunity for understanding, self-acceptance, personal growth and change. We often do not treat ourselves with the same kindness, compassion and understanding as we treat others and this can take a toll on how we feel, function and relate to others. Therapy gives you time for you, to explore what you are feeling and why you are feeling a certain way, this helps to better understand your needs in order to move to a more fulfilled and happier way of being. I have a particular interest in relationships and how we are in relationships, as this can have a huge impact on our personal wellbeing.

Welcome. I'm Annie and since 2007, I have had the privilege of supporting young people from 11- 18 years of age as a School Counsellor. My experience enables me to fully grasp the challenges young people can face and continues to allow me to witness how young people can grow through counselling.
Adolescence is a time of significant change and for some can be very demanding, experiencing stresses around relationships, school, identity, sexuality, gender and transitions. In addition, challenging life events can often leave trauma and prove difficult to cope with and the goal of moving safely into adulthood harder to achieve.

You’ve spent years second-guessing yourself, and now you’re trying to remember who you were before all the self-doubt.
Maybe you've been made to feel like you're the problem - too sensitive, too emotional, too much. You second guess yourself constantly and feel responsible for everyone else’s wellbeing. Over time, that can take a real toll on your self-worth and leave you carrying a level of anxiety that’s hard to switch off, even when things are "fine."
My clients are insightful and caring, but often stuck in survival mode. I offer a calm, trauma-informed space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath all the coping.

My approach is calm & collaborative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, and attachment-based ideas.
I work with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship difficulties who feel overwhelmed or stuck. You may find yourself overthinking, doubting yourself, or struggling to cope in the way you used to. For some, these difficulties are linked to past experiences, including trauma or emotional neglect, which can affect identity, self-worth, or how safe life feels. I also support those experiencing trauma, dissociation or parts of self that feel confusing or hard to understand. Together, we gently make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward at your pace.

Attachment-based Counsellors
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioural Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
