"I can’t say enough good things about Anna’s services and how she’s helped me. Anna’s approach is kind, supportive and brilliantly insightful when it comes to picking apart negative/unhelpful thought patterns. I’ve been able to tackle and confront long-standing issues with clear and compassionate strategies to help reduce my anxiety, increase my self-esteem and overall mental health. I now have the tools needed to continue that growth and it’s all thanks to Anna and the work we’ve done. Five stars isn’t quite enough!"

Jodie Q

"Anna is a truly brilliant counsellor. I have been working with her for just over a year, during which time my life turned upside down and inside out. I know I would be in a much more chaotic and dysfunctional place if I were not working with Anna. I look forward to our sessions, even if I know they will be painful, because she has facilitated such a wonderful rapport between us. She meets me exactly where I am at each week with compassion and warmth and without judgement. She laughs with me when that is all I am able to do, and she tolerates my awful swearing without batting an eyelid (can't actually confirm this as we do our sessions over the phone). Anna is highly skilled in her practice - she reflects your words back to you through a different lens, offering new perspectives. She helps you to identify common threads in seemingly disparate thought patterns. She takes the utmost care to listen and absorb all the information you give her, and helps you make sense of it. She does all of this while also being totally delightful, kind and relatable. It's awesome. If you are having a tough time and are looking for a counsellor, there is no one I would recommend more highly. Thanks, Anna :) "

Alice P

"Exceptional therapist! Five stars doesn't do justice to the incredible support and guidance I received. Anna's professionalism and unwavering support created a safe space where I felt truly heard and understood. Her dedication to my growth and journey toward self-acceptance was evident in every session. Her wisdom and empathy have left an indelible mark on my life. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a compassionate and transformative therapeutic experience!"

Rayyan Al K

"I came to Anna at a complicated time in my life whilst I was struggling a lot. She instantly made me feel at ease and created a safe environment to explore and process any issues I had. Even as the world changed rapidly around us and my circumstances changed drastically Anna was flexible and understanding, she always ensured that space was there as long as I needed it and I know that, even though our sessions are coming to an end, that space would be there if ever I needed it again. Working with Anna has been completely transformative to me and I'm very grateful to have found her. As well as being a wonderful and professional therapist Anna is a kind and friendly person who sets you at ease, this makes the process of talking about difficult things that bit less daunting! Thanks Anna!"

"Anna has been great from the very first day. She helped me work through issues and thoughts that have been lingering in my life for years. I have come out the other side much stronger and more confident in myself and in life. I’m glad I have found Anna and that I am able to return to her in the future. Thank you for everything."

Edyta D

"I came to Anna for help in May 2021 as I needed to process the difficulties I have been through. The sessions have been extremeley beneficial and helped me to work through each situation whilst gradually rebuilding my confidence and self esteem. I would recommend Anna to anybody who needs someone to talk to and/or just simply get things off their chest. Thank you."

Antony B

"Working with Anna has been genuinely life changing for me. She was able to take me on a such an incredible journey of self exploration and resolve the issues I came to her with. She is also so real and authentic as a person and these qualities really shine through in her practice. It was such a pleasure working with her!"

Ally C

"Working with Anna has been a total game changer for me. Her warm and open nature creates a relaxed environment, and I've always felt it's been a safe space to talk in. I love her holistic approach and I feel like a new person since having sessions with Anna. I would (and do) highly recommend her services to anyone looking for counselling."

Lucy H

"Working with Anna was a great experience for me. She helped me pinpoint and deal with my anxiety issues. I was able to make big life decisions to fix my problems after discussing them with her. She never provided advice, but navigated the conversation expertly and made sure that I asked myself the right questions to come to the conclusion of how to move forward on my own. I will be forever grateful for her guidance and help during a very rough time in my life. If you're thinking about therapy, give Anna a try - she's very easy to talk to and may just be the help you need!"

James H

"I am so happy that I found Anna’s services. She provides a warm supportive environment and a safe space to talk about whatever you might want to work through within a session. My experience has been incredibly positive and the whole process has been incredibly helpful. It has been one of the few grounding points in a very weird year. Anna’s person centred approach is definitely one I connect with and has helped to unlock a lot of areas I hadn’t even considered when I first approached therapy. Anna has the ability to put you at ease from the very beginning and creates an environment that you feel comfortable working through things in. I cannot recommend having sessions with Anna highly enough."

Rachael H

"I worked with Anna for roughly 8 months from (January to August) to help overcome some personal issues I was struggling with at the time. Anna's person centred approach helped me to build confidence in myself and eventually overcome my hurdles. Anna was kind and very easy to work with, she quickly made me feel at ease and provided the perfect atmosphere in which to begin address my problems, I never once felt judged or unable to voice my feelings. Choosing to work with Anna was one of the best decisions I've ever made and have helped me become a happier, more confident person. I would highly recommend her services to anyone considering therapy."

Josh S

"This was my first time in therapy and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Anna made me feel very comfortable and she was extremely supportive throughout the whole process. I loved working with her and it helped me understand a lot of things. I would definitely recommend working with Anna without a doubt."

Elena L

"I couldn’t rate Anna highly enough. Through her sessions I’ve developed so much personally, have gained new perspectives on life and have overcome personal issues that I genuinely wouldn’t have been able to do without the work undertaken in our sessions. When I first started working with Anna I couldn’t even identify what my problems were, only that I was deeply unhappy, Anna helped me to unpick that and identify what the key problem was. The person centred approach helped me both gain understanding into what was happening in my life and build my self confidence. In the sessions you are given the tools to understand and question your thought processes so you are able to gradually identify certain patterns or make sense of the issues you are facing. Throughout the process Anna made me feel completely at ease and supported, I never once doubted her approach or felt any judgement. Working with Anna has benefited me massively and I only wish I would have decided to do it sooner. I’m so glad I contacted her for therapy as I couldn’t imagine using anyone else or having a better experience."

Natalie

"Anna was always warm and welcoming during our therapy and enabled me to talk through some really difficult experiences and emotions by offering a safe space free from judgement. Her therapy came at a really crucial point in my life and I couldn't be more grateful for the space and time she gave to me. I definitely recommend her counselling services to anyone looking for the same :)."

Jacquelyn S-W

"Anna is a very friendly, calm and attentive therapist who has helped me tremendously over the last18 months. This was my first experience working with a therapist and Anna was great at guiding me through, providing a safe space which enabled me to openly discuss issues I wanted help with. I would thoroughly recommend Anna!"

Marc W

"I’ve worked with Anna for a little over a year now via video conferencing and when I think back to where I was, it’s been a game changer to my confidence. Tackling those inner demons is a tough journey, but Anna makes it all that easier through her provision of a safe and comfortable environment with her friendly and open approach. In being validated and heard I’ve been able to cultivate awareness of patterns in thoughts and behaviours which enables me to work through them, and also put a few issues to bed. I am grateful for the flexibility of the sessions also, as I no longer need them on a weekly basis, but as and when situations arise that I need to digest. I truly recommend working with Anna, you'll just wish you started sooner!"

Sophie D

"I feel very lucky to have found Anna. She's clear, kind and professional in her approach. Anna listened to me and understood my goals and helped me to work towards them. I've made progress and have really valued working with her over the last year. Working with Anna has made a huge difference to me and I would recommend her wholeheartedly."

Clare A

"Anna has helped me immensely over the last couple of months, she has a kind approach, asks the right questions at the right times, knows when to challenge and when to support. She is extremely patient and understanding, she makes you feel relaxed and at ease very quickly, meaning you can open up and always feel heard. Thank you Anna!"

Lauren S

"Anna really helped me with a difficult time in my life. I appreciated that she clearly stated in our initial session that she didn't offer advice or solutions, but her approach was to question my feelings in order for me to explore and decide the route I wanted to go down in order to make me life happier for myself and deal with situations I found hard. She was also very relatable and friendly. I ended my sessions as she had helped me into a place in my life where I could take things from there, recalling our sessions if bad feelings before did arise. However, I am glad the door is open if I do need her sessions again."

Freddie N

"I have been attending sessions with Anna for a year or so now. I first came to her looking for help to understand some of the overwhelming feelings I was experiencing. I initially attended on a weekly basis, I found Anna offered a safe space where I was able to explore feelings and thoughts without any judgement. Anna spent a lot of time listening to me and then replaying back some of my own thoughts that I had voiced in that session, it was that “hearing back” process that really unlocked a lot of my own personal understanding and helped to make sense of a lot of things. At the beginning I had to really work on certain things such as reframing my mind on the positives and this felt like homework at first, now instead this feels second nature. I moved to fortnightly sessions which have continued to help me in my own journey of growth and reflection. Anna’s calm character and demeanour really complement her person-centred therapy approach. Of all the therapists I first enquired with, I’m so very glad I found and met Anna."

Lorenza C

Zak

"Anna was an absolutely brilliant counsellor and I could not recommend her highly enough. She is understanding, non-judgemental, and really easy to speak with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about therapy/counselling. :)"
