I also work with children and teens, helping them navigate emotions, build resilience, and express themselves in a safe space.
Welcome to Your Space! I’m Anna, a therapist with dual background in Psychology and Art Therapy. I believe healing begins with feeling truly heard, which is why I strive to provide a warm, open, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all—Hence I tailor each session to your individual needs, whether through conversation, creative expression, or a combination of both. My role is to support you in uncovering your strengths, processing challenges, and finding clarity in whatever you’re going through.

My therapeutic approach helps you to identify any issues, address your needs and plan future goals to help reduce symptoms such as negative thinking, rumination, emotional dysregulation, anxiety and low mood. I work closely with many issues in particular, Borderline Personality Disorder, (BPD), ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, womens issues, negative thinking, OCD and many others. Each individual is different and therefore each approach is planned according to your personal needs. I also offer pre-assessment for ADHD to support individuals thinking of getting assessed formally.

Ideal clients are people who look fine on the outside but feel stuck inside: anxiety, overwhelm, trauma triggers, OCD patterns, grief, addiction, burnout, or relationship stress. They come because they can’t switch off, sleep is poor, emotions feel too much or nothing, and the same patterns keep repeating. I help by getting to the root cause, not just managing symptoms. I specialise in trauma-informed psychotherapy and use practical tools clients can use in real life to feel calmer, clearer, and back in control.

Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.

Having spent many years working as a volunteer with adolescents in difficulties, suffering from anxiety, stress and depression I have great respect for the demands both adolescents and adults face.
Sometimes we need a non-bias“outside” perspective to hear our own voices. As an integrative therapist I utilize approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person centered, Solution focused, mindfulness etc. depending on the needs and requests of each individual. Pulling apart what may often feel like a tangled ball of wool in ones head in order to recognise, prioritize and cope with the sometimes over whelming thoughts, feeling and behaviors that present. Providing a secure, non-judgmental, confidential environment in which you can safely express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns at a rate that is comfortable to you

As a qualified Counsellor Psychotherapist, I believe that discovering the secrets of happiness isn’t just for a fortunate few—it’s a path we all walk. Throughout my personal and professional experiences, I’ve come to realize that no one sets out to be unhappy.Often we adapt to life’s challenges out of necessity, sometimes without even realizing it. But here’s the exciting part: everything we’ve learned, we can also unlearn. This means we have the power to reshape our journey towards peace, joy and fulfilment.I wholeheartedly believe that therapy is a transformative journey open to everyone seeking growth, healing, and self-discovery
