About Ann
She holds a BACP credential, which is membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has completed a Level 5 CBT Practitioner Diploma and a Level 5 Person-Centred Practitioner Diploma. Those Level 5 diplomas represent advanced, practical training in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and in the person-centred approach, both of which she draws on to help reduce anxiety, stress, intrusive thoughts, low mood, and other emotional difficulties. Her work aims to build coping tools, strengthen confidence, and promote lasting, positive change.
Although she has over twenty years of experience working specifically with people affected by addiction, her current counselling practice also supports those coping with bereavement, family issues, relationship problems, self-esteem and workplace stress, among other concerns. Her background in children’s residential settings developed a deep sensitivity to complex family dynamics, and she brings patience and understanding to collaborations that explore causes of distress and pathways to recovery.

Approaches
Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support
Ann combines person-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tailor online sessions to each person’s needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental environment and helping people draw on their own strengths and values to find solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical, evidence-informed strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can be especially useful for anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive patterns. She also integrates Emotionally-Focused elements to help explore and process strong feelings in relationships and bereavement when needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and adjusts the approach as progress unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques to meet individual needs, and Ann adopts that same collaborative stance.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs and allow ongoing support even when life is busy or changing. Many people find that remote sessions deliver consistent, effective care while offering greater access and convenience.
