Anne Marie is an experienced psychotherapist. She works with individuals when they are struggling by helping them find solutions to their problems by creating a safe space where they can untangle their thoughts and process their feelings.

Crippling anxiety, overwhelming grief, black depression are sources of deep pain and dark suffering.
I qualified in 2012 and since then I have trained in CBT, emotion therapy, addictive behaviours, and grief and loss. My approach is an integrative one, blending these therapeutic modalities to the specific needs of the client as well as to the times we live in: the pandemic has left many of us feeling isolated and alone and uncertain of what lies ahead.

Employing a psychoanalytical approach, I guide individuals in exploring how their unconscious mind influences current relationships, thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors, particularly in the context of recurrent loss and traumatic events.

By fostering a relationship built on trust and mutual respect, I create a confidential environment where clients can freely express themselves without fear of judgment. This open dialogue is essential for recognizing the experiences that have shaped their journey and the challenges they currently face.

If you are experiencing relationship difficulties, bereavement, life transitions, anger, stress, low mood, anxiety etc please feel free to come and talk.
It is impossible to tell you exactly what your therapy process will be like, as you are unique, with your own experience, strengths and difficulties. Good therapy will be tailored to you and your individual situation. That said, in all models of therapeutic work I will work with you to define your goals and to develop the steps you will take to achieve those goals in therapy. Your therapeutic process will not only focus on your current situation and experiences, but also on the internal patterns that may be contributing to how you are feeling.

Some reasons you might look for counselling may be:● Depression ● Anxiety ● Panic Attacks ● Struggling with Relationships ● Confidence and Self Esteem ● Bereavement
I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and counselor alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results. Our therapy sessions can either be in English or in Romanian.

Bereavement Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
