Ann Patmore, BACP

Ann Patmore is a United Kingdom credentialed therapist with 12 years of professional experience, offering calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and relationship challenges. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients navigate family conflicts, parenting difficulties, motivation and issues with self esteem, confidence, concentration and memory.

Ann has a particular interest in ADHD, including supporting adults who receive a late diagnosis, and she brings experience in improving focus and concentration. Her practice also addresses a wide range of life stresses such as trauma and abuse, addictions, career concerns, compassion fatigue and the emotional impact of separation or family breakdown.

She works with sensitivity and respect, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Ann aims to create a collaborative space where practical strategies and personal insight are combined to meet the individual needs of each client. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects recognised professional standards in the United Kingdom.

Taking the first step into therapy can be challenging, and Ann acknowledges that courage. She encourages prospective clients by offering supportive, client-centred guidance from the initial contact onward.

Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online support

Ann uses evidence-based, skills-focused techniques that help people develop practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety and difficulties with attention and concentration. These approaches teach concrete tools for organising tasks, improving focus and reducing overwhelm, which can be especially helpful for adults adjusting to a late ADHD diagnosis.

She also applies attachment-informed and relational work that explores patterns in family and close relationships. This style of work helps clients understand how past connections influence present interactions and supports healthier communication and boundary setting in families and partnerships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Ann works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they adapt the pace and focus of sessions to suit the individual journey.

Online therapy with Ann is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access regular support from home or other convenient locations, while still working with registered professionals who tailor the work to each client.
