About Anna

As a counsellor and personal coach I am passionate and committed to helping others on their journey to healing and self discovery. 

  • I hold high level, relevant and quality qualifications
  • I take part in regular CPD (continuing professional development) to keep up to date with and continue to broaden my knowledge within the fields of psychotherapy, counselling and coaching.
  • I attend regular supervision with another trained and qualified therapist to make sure I am supporting my clients in the best way possible
  • My work is client-centred, my core values being non-judgement, openness, acceptance, warmth and compassion

As a registered member of BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) within both their counselling and coaching divisions, I work within an ethical framework which means I hold the wellbeing, needs, and safety of my clients at the heart of my work.

My Background

My background is in education specialising in early years and families as well as modern foreign languages. I have worked both in the UK and overseas. I am a mother, daughter, sister, partner, friend, work colleague and member of my community.  

I have been a stay-at-home mother and run my own small business. I have been impacted by separation, divorce and infidelity and have experienced the many highs and lows that life can throw our way.

My Personal Journey

Attempting to navigate distressing life events alone can be incredibly challenging, many of us weren't given the tools to successfully cope with and grow from these experiences.  Counselling and coaching gave me the support I needed not only to work through these difficult times, but also the opportunity to get to know and understand myself. I realised that in order to manage both my personal and professional relationships better, I first needed to repair the relationship I had with myself. The therapists I worked with supported me in becoming my own best advocate.  This allowed me to make the best choices for myself and those most important to me from a place of compassion, awareness and empowerment.

Areas of expertise

I have a particular interest in working with those who have been affected by infidelity and challenges in their close relationships. Having experienced separation, divorce and betrayal myself, I understand how brutally painful and devastating these experiences can be.

Most people will be affected in some way by infidelity during their lifetime, either as partners, a family member or friend.  However, it's a topic that is often kept in the shadows and not talked about. It can lead to significant life changes such as separation and divorce but also to a stronger more fulfilling relationship with yourself and your partner if that is the path for you. However you have been impacted by infidelity, I aim to work with you to shine a light on this complex, often misunderstood yet common human experience. There is the possibility of a better life beyond this devastation - even if it wasn't the one you planned.

Who I work with

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, each with their unique stories and challenges. This experience has enriched my practice and deepened my understanding of the complexities of human emotions and relationships.

My role is to support you to gain clarity around how you got here, what you would like your life to look like and how to get there. I will meet you on your journey both as a human being and a professional.
