Online Counselling for England

As an Accredited EMDR and CBT Therapist, my specialism is helping people rapidly build confidence, resilience, self esteem, skills, strengths and new strategies. I’m passionate about helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, OCD, stress, anger, struggles with relationships, communication, doubt, authenticity, identity, transitions, emotional regulation and wellbeing. My style is practical and encouraging, warm and down to earth. My evidence based approach is firmly rooted in what truly works to help people find lasting freedom. My emphasis is helping you make the changes that’ll make the biggest positive differences to your life.

Feeling overwhelmed, out of control, repeating or destructive patterns in behaviour and thinking, relationships issues, feeling low, anxious or suffering from grief. I work with a range of mental health difficulties and emotional issues. These can be difficult and distressing times and therapy can, quite literally, be a life-saver. It can also be an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth and exploration. Therapy will give you an opportunity to be heard without judgment and time to explore anything in a safe space.

I have a well established psychotherapy practice working with a range of clients and couples, from an integrative, relational perspective. I also specialise in working with the LGBTQi+ community. I offer face to face and online as well as psychotherapy groups. Please look at my website for further information, https://www.annacopepsychotherapy.co.uk/

If you’re feeling spun out or wrung out from anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and its related emotions and problems you’ve come to the right place. You may be looking for a safe space to talk things through, or practical strategies to discover and reach your life goals or address a specific problem. You may be unsure about what brings you to therapy, but know in your body that it's time to start dealing with some of the discomfort and distress that's disrupting your enjoyment of life. You've already shown up with a sense of curiosity and courage by reading this, so why not take another step on the journey and schedule a session?

I am a Queer Non-Binary / LGBTQIA+ Person-Centred Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor. I work with people with all kinds of issues, concerns and distress. I work with individual adults (18+) who are gay, bi, queer, trans, non-binary, cis, agender, intersex & sexuality/gender questioning. I also work with people who are neurodivergent, hear voices or have unusual beliefs /experiences, people in non-monogamous or poly relationships, people labelled with PTSD, schizophrenia or a personality disorder.

It can be exceptionally tough to start looking for therapy, and I'm proud of you for doing so today. As both a practicing therapist and as someone who has healed and grown in therapy myself, I know how it feels to be in both chairs in the therapy office. If you are looking for somewhere to create meaning in your life, you are feeling lost or hopeless, or you are seeking emotional support, please get in touch. I’m offering therapy exclusively through Skype, Zoom, and by phone, depending on your preference. While I plan to be back in the office to see people face-to-face when it is safe to do so, I am also excited to see you online!

If you are looking at this website, then I would like to be bold and guess that you are thinking about taking a brave step towards seeking help from a therapist? You might feel that you are 'not yourself', maybe you would like to be able to talk about a difficult past or current difficulty but are not sure how? Maybe the relationships in your family feel strained or difficult? Whether you would like support as an individual, couple, family or chosen family I would be privileged to support you in finding your way through the trees to be able to see the whole wood. I look forward to meeting you.

I'm Helen, a gestalt psychotherapist in advanced training. I offer a safe, inclusive, non-judgmental space, where I can support you to more deeply understand the situations that have brought you to therapy. I am committed to trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, neurodivergent-aware and queer-affirmative practices.
