It´s great to talk with Anna. I was nervous before the first session but Anna made me feel understood and safe from the very beginning. Our sessions help me to challenge myself in various situations and find my place in social gatherings. I am very grateful!

Hello. My name is Anna and the thing I love most about counselling is the diverse mix of people that I am lucky enough to work with.
No two clients are the same and I feel privileged to be trusted with the inner thoughts and experiences of each and every one of my clients and I take that very seriously. I treat each person respectfully and admire them for the unique individual that they are.
During my time as a therapist, I have helped clients with their understanding and self-awareness of a broad range of issues and experiences. My work has included 8 years as a committee member for Women’s Aid, 2 years working for Mind, the mental health charity, 1 year working at a secondary school counselling 11-18 year old pupils and 4 years as a volunteer counsellor at Rape Crisis.
I am a counsellor for the charity Sporting Chance, founded by former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams MBE, which enables me to work with elite athletes from various sporting professions including football, squash and horse racing. My work includes two days a week at Woman's Trust, a London based specialist mental health charity, counselling women that have experienced domestic abuse.
I have a range of client experience in different areas including, but not limited to:
Eating disorders
Obsessive compulsive disorder
Alcohol and drug misuse
Self-harm
Incest
Physical trauma
Sports injury
Rape and physical abuse
Pre-trial therapy
Domestic violence and psychological control
Child separation
Sexuality
Depression
Self-destructive tendencies
Personality disorders
Insomnia
Divorce
Career progression
Anxiety
Suicidal ideation
Anger
Low self esteem
I am a fully qualified BACP accredited therapist. I am a member of the BACP and am governed by their ethical framework. I have a full DBS check and professional indemnity insurance. In addition to my counselling training, I have a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice, qualifications in couples counselling, clinical supervision, safeguarding, sexual oppression and domestic violence training and autism awareness and eating disorders. I also have an MSc from Kings College London in Psychology and Neuroscience. I have undertaken extensive research into mood disorders.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

It´s great to talk with Anna. I was nervous before the first session but Anna made me feel understood and safe from the very beginning. Our sessions help me to challenge myself in various situations and find my place in social gatherings. I am very grateful!
Very empathetic and professional, offers great listening and also initially chooses supportive language that helps to unravel layers further on. After all of this provides great expertise and open communication about everything discussed. Challenges you in a way where you want to dig deeper and understand the matter more
Anna is an absolute gem, I rest easy knowing I have her by my side.
Very helpful in listening to my issues and finds ways to help me and overcome them
Anna is empathetic, professional and has a profound understanding of my concerns. She is great at her job.
Anna listens to my concenrns and helps me with ways to resolve them. I found her way of dealing with issues very helpful and she made me aware of some things about myself that I would not have thought without her
I’ve been seeing Anna on and off for two years and she has greatly helped with many areas of life from facing and overcoming addiction to dealing with bullying and past childhood sexual abuse. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.
I’m new to therapy on better help but Anna has so far been amazing, I feel she listened to my concerns and gives me useful practical advise to help. I feel very comfortable with her.
I immediately felt at ease with Anna and confident that she had the experience I was seeking in a therapist. I will definitely reconnect with her when I'm able to.
She is amazing, perfect match!
Very easy to talk to. Listens to my concerns/problems and helps a lot
Anna has been absolutely wonderful, very supportive, validates my feelings and is helping me move forward not only with my eating disorder but with relationships and family as well. Highly recommend her!
Anna has been fantastic. I have been seeing her for 6 months and see has help me work past alot of my anxiety
I was very hesitant starting therapy, I had therapy previously but wasn’t a good match with my old therapist. I was assigned to Anna when I signed up, when I speak to her it is a safe space, she really engages with what you’re saying. Speaking to Anna feels like a warm a hug on a rainy day, I would definitely recommend Anna as a therapist.
Anna has really helped me already and gives me the space and guidance to come to my own realisations. I'd recommend her every time
I really enjoy my sessions with Anna. I feel confident in sharing my thoughts, experiences and emotions with her. Anna listens attentively and offers me guidance, while encouraging me to discover my own solutions. Anna’s knowledge and expertise has been positively matched to my needs.
Anna from day one has been nothing but professional and incredibly supportive. She has helped me immensely. Her knowledge and support is more than I could have hoped for starting therapy.
It’s my second time doing therapy and this time I feel that I really found the right match for my current needs. She really listens to me and I feel that she really gets me. I couldn’t have been matched with a better therapist. Looking forward to carry on working with Anna and see what can we discover together in this journey. Thank you.
Anna has been a remarkable amount
Anna is the friendliest, caring and supporting therapist and I always feel so uplifted and hopeful after speaking with her :) x
I haven't worked with Anna for long but from the first session she was very empathetic, caring and easy to talk to while remaining professional. She is good at mostly letting me lead the sessions but always has good insights and asks great questions that help me reflect on everything I bring to the session. The approach she employs with me is helpful and I'm very happy I found her.
Anna is a warm and supportive counsellor who listens and responds and acknowledges what I'm expressing and I feel heard, valued and respected. We are only in the early stages but I appreciate how often she responds and consistently.
