Thank you for considering an option other than betterhelp!

As winter and darkness draw in, thoughts turn to the festive season where expectation and reality so often don’t match. Family tensions can be fuelled by Christmas spirit; you may be finding old anxieties resurfacing, mixing with new worries and an increased feeling that you are struggling to cope – life can be overwhelming.

Perhaps you are ready for a change? Would you like to feel more positive and find some strategies that will help you to overcome the feelings that are holding you back? Working out what can be done to improve how you are feeling can seem like a difficult task. Whatever your reason for having clicked on this link, I would like to help you - you can feel better.

Or, are you the worried parent of a child/young person who is struggling, having panic attacks, self-harming or worse suicidal? Low self-confidence, school and exam pressures, bullying, questioning sexuality and gender, social media and smartphones are all taking their toll on our young people.

My name is Annie (she/her), and I am not here to judge. I will listen and hear you. My focus is on being able to build a genuine relationship in which you feel comfortable enough to explore what you want and who you are. I would like to help you work out ways to make your life better, provide the space you need to feel more confident.

Asking for help can be difficult. I will do my best to make things as easy as possible for you once you have taken the leap.

I am a fully qualified and Íø±¬ÃÅ Accredited, person-centred counsellor, which means that you decide what you want to bring to each session, and we move forward together from there.

I work with adults, students, young people and children from a variety of different backgrounds and with a rainbow of individual needs (including SEN and ASD). I hope to be able to meet with you soon.

I am also available to work with counselling students.

Fee structure:

Children, students, concessions £40, Adults £60

I work from home. I am available for face to face sessions, I also working online via Zoom. I find both types of interaction work really well. Please contact me for details.

In the first session, we will go through my client contract which covers some of the boundaries around working together. I will also get some personal details from you. After that, it is over to you - why have you come for counselling and what do you hope to achieve. We will establish whether we think we can work together and look at how we should move forward from this point.
