More about Anna
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a BACP accredited, client-centred Counsellor and Mindfulness Teacher licensed in the UK (1993 and 2020), and a Yoga Therapist licensed with IAYT (February 2023) with over 30 years of working experience using the skills of therapy and counselling. I am also completing my training as a CBT psychotherapist and a Masters in Art Therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, eating disorders, low self-esteem, OCD, personality disorders, addictions, neurodiversity, bereavement, childhood trauma, relationship problems, and post natal depression . I offer couples counselling and run a group on Better Help offering yoga therapy tools to aid the symptoms of anxiety.
My therapy style is client-centered, and combines Rogerian counseling with Yoga Therapy as needed, to assist with the integration of body and mind, thus offering a somatic experience. I also offer CBT and use Art therapy as a modality in thier own right, or as an intervention on occasions when the client finds it helpful. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to take the first steps to explore your inner world. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you on that journey and aim to offer a safe, confidential space where you can make the changes you desire.
I look forward to getting to know you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Anna is caring and extremely knowledgeable. She has keen insight and could see right to my issues immediately, and helped me deal with them in a compassionate manner
Anna is very comprehensive of what my primary concers are and always tryies to understand how I'm feeling about a certain situation. She makes me think a lot and that can have a positive outcome!
I really like Anna as my therapist. Sessions with her make me feel better. She listens to all of my concerns and she’s very professional. Talking to Anna helped to get myself more and my brain.
I found out about BetterHelp in the process of ‘rediscovery’ of myself after recent diagnoses for ADHD and ASD (Asperger’s). I so glad I sought help from you and that you found Anna to help me with this process. Anna is a wonderful listener and comes up with such positive support on issues which cause me difficulty. She has so much patience and when we have reached a point for new exploration she has suggested approaches that I would never have considered like a few minutes of ‘Chair Yoga’ as well as little meditation journeys back into events of my life. I greatly value my weekly video sessions with Anna and, by the way, I have taken up yoga.
I trusted Anna from the first moment. She has a very calm and present energy, which helps me to open up and reflect on my challenges in a healthy way.
Anna works hard to understand what I want from our sessions and always provides useful suggestions and helpful mindfulness activities. She never pressured me to participate in anything and is always super respectful and kind. Hats off to her.
