Who I Work With
You might look as if you're doing OK on the outside but inside, things seem tangled or overwhelming. You might question yourself constantly or feel guilty about saying no. You might not be sure of who you are; what you like, want or need, you just know what you've been told you should be.
​
Maybe you grew up in a home where love came with conditions or where your parents' anger or silence shaped your sense of safety. Maybe there was another parent who looked the other way? Now, as an adult, you find yourself carrying old patterns and behaviours; people pleasing or second guessing yourself, keeping quiet to keep the peace.
​
I work with people who are beginning to realise that their early experiences still echo in how they live and in their relationships. If you've been wondering why it's so difficult to feel authentically you, therapy can help. Not by telling you who to be but by helping you gently uncover who you've always been.
About Anna
I'm Anna, a psychodynamic counsellor with a gentle and grounded approach. I work with adults who are feeling lost, stuck or overwhelmed. Therapy with me is about listening to what's underneath; your thoughts, emotions, patterns and deeper parts of you that are waiting to be seen and heard.
​
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in-line with their Ethical Framework to ensure your safety and wellbeing are always prioritised.
​
My way of working is relaxed and relational. I'll offer you a space where you can speak freely without judgement and at a pace that feels comfortable for you. While my work is rooted in psychodynamic theory, I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together.
​
You don't have to have all the answers and you don't have to figure it out alone. You're welcome exactly as you are and we'll start from there.

Next Steps
If what you've read here resonates with you, you might be wondering what happens next. Here's where we begin:
​
-
Get in touch: Use the contact form to send me a message. You don't need to know exactly what to say, just a few lines about what's bringing you here is enough. I'll reply as soon as I can.
​​
-
Book a free, no obligation 20-minute phone or video call: We'll talk about what is going on for you and how I work. It's a chance to ask any questions and get a feel for whether this space feels right for you. There's no pressure, it's just a chat.
​​
-
Come in for a 50 minute consultation: If you decide to go ahead, we'll book an initial in-person session. This is a deeper space to talk about your reasons for seeking therapy and to explore whether on-going sessions might be helpful. It's also a chance for us to meet and see how it feels to work in the room.
​
You don't have to have this all figured out to begin, just the sense that something in you is ready.
