It´s great to talk with Anna. I was nervous before the first session but Anna made me feel understood and safe from the very beginning. Our sessions help me to challenge myself in various situations and find my place in social gatherings. I am very grateful!

More about Anna

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hello. My name is Anna and the thing I love most about counselling is the diverse mix of people that I am lucky enough to work with.

No two clients are the same and I feel privileged to be trusted with the inner thoughts and experiences of each and every one of my clients and I take that very seriously. I treat each person respectfully and admire them for the unique individual that they are.

During my time as a therapist, I have helped clients with their understanding and self-awareness of a broad range of issues and experiences. My work has included 8 years as a committee member for Women’s Aid, 2 years working for Mind, the mental health charity, 1 year working at a secondary school counselling 11-18 year old pupils and 4 years as a volunteer counsellor at Rape Crisis.

I am a counsellor for the charity Sporting Chance, founded by former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams MBE, which enables me to work with elite athletes from various sporting professions including football, squash and horse racing. My work includes two days a week at Woman's Trust, a London based specialist mental health charity, counselling women that have experienced domestic abuse.

I have a range of client experience in different areas including, but not limited to:

Eating disorders

Obsessive compulsive disorder

Alcohol and drug misuse

Self-harm

Incest

Physical trauma

Sports injury

Rape and physical abuse

Pre-trial therapy

Domestic violence and psychological control

Child separation

Sexuality

Depression

Self-destructive tendencies

Personality disorders

Insomnia

Divorce

Career progression

Anxiety

Suicidal ideation

Anger

Low self esteem

I am a fully qualified BACP accredited therapist. I am a member of the BACP and am governed by their ethical framework. I have a full DBS check and professional indemnity insurance. In addition to my counselling training, I have a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice, qualifications in couples counselling, clinical supervision, safeguarding, sexual oppression and domestic violence training and autism awareness and eating disorders. I also have an MSc from Kings College London in Psychology and Neuroscience. I have undertaken extensive research into mood disorders.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I was very hesitant starting therapy, I had therapy previously but wasn’t a good match with my old therapist. I was assigned to Anna when I signed up, when I speak to her it is a safe space, she really engages with what you’re saying. Speaking to Anna feels like a warm a hug on a rainy day, I would definitely recommend Anna as a therapist.

I haven't worked with Anna for long but from the first session she was very empathetic, caring and easy to talk to while remaining professional. She is good at mostly letting me lead the sessions but always has good insights and asks great questions that help me reflect on everything I bring to the session. The approach she employs with me is helpful and I'm very happy I found her.
