More about Anna

3 years' experience

BACP

I am a Gestalt counsellor who believes in the transformative power of creative therapeutic approaches. By integrating dialogue, creative techniques, mindfulness, and poly-vagal exercises I help you explore how you perceive yourself and connect with your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I tailor my approach to your individual needs, combining various modalities to offer a unique and personalised experience. My goal is to empower you to increase self-awareness, build self-esteem and address any blocks that make you feel stuck. I am experienced working with neurodiversity, cultural and relational issues, abuse and chronic illness.

I am a compassionate and emphatic counsellor experienced at working with a broad range of individuals and challenges. While I have expertise working with trauma, cultural identity issues and helping to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, I also work with all types of relationship problems, including abuse and co-dependency and work-related issues.

Don’t be alone with whatever you are carrying. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery is a courageous step, and as your therapist, I am here to walk beside you with empathy and understanding. Together, we'll explore your unique path in a nurturing space where you are seen, heard, and understood in a non-judgmental way.

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.
