Ann is a wonderful therapist. She helps me talk through difficult things and get to the bottom of my thought patterns and feelings. She is always supportive, reassuring, and respectful. She picks up on cues very well that I otherwise would not have noticed myself. She makes it easy to talk about things I especially don’t know where to start with. Overall, very positive experience.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered in the UK with 8 years of professional work experience. My primary mode of therapy is Transactional Analysis (Psychotherapy) using a relational approach. I have worked with a variety of people facing a range of mental health concerns and disorders, as well as relationship issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, acceptance, empathy and compassion. Sessions are client led, where your needs and goals are kept front and centre at all times. We will build a treatment plan, to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support you in that journey, by providing a safe confidential space for you to explore your concerns.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ann is amazing. Empathetic and clear in her communication
Ann has the qualities you look for in a mental health professional. She has a warm and kind personality on top of her extensive knowledge of supportive practices for various kinds of struggles. I admire, and respect her work and highly recommend her services!
Ann has been hugely helpful to me. She’s highly experienced and has a lot of useful strategies.
So wonderful and respectful
Ann has been a great support in a moment when my life was chaos. Things have calmed down a little bit but she's supported me through my emotional roller coaster these past months. Family issues, ADHD diagnosis and several other things that were hunting me from my past. There's still a lot of work to do but Ann has been amazing this whole time. Thank you Ann.
Feels like I’m talking to a good friend. She has been Priceless for my recovery.
Ann has been super helpful for me. Offering me helpful insightful suggestions and really picking up on the important points that help me to organise my thoughts. She is a great listener and really knowledgeable.
I have only had a few sessions with her but already I see myself improving and she listens but also asks questions and really try’s to understand how I’m feeling and unwrap the issues. She is a delight to talk to every week
So far I really enjoy her and am thankful for her help.
