Work with Anna

Hi, I’m Anna and I have been working as a counsellor since 2012. I am an Integrative Therapist, which means I am trained in a range of the main talking therapies. I adapt my approach to best fit you - everyone is unique, and we can discuss together at the start what you feel you need from therapy.

Personal Introduction

Experience

My background is in the voluntary sector, working with adults and young people across a variety of settings. I have significant experience in working with trauma and abuse and in helping people find freedom from shame.

A safe, authentic and non-judgmental space for you to explore what is troubling you. I always count it a real honour to hear the story of those I work with. When I work with you, I hope to understand what is causing you pain or difficulty and give you the space you need to reflect, express and grow in understanding. My hope is that you feel truly listened to, develop awareness of what is happening in your world and feel empowered to make any necessary changes.

Our work together could include space to express feelings, an exploration of your core beliefs, or creative approaches that help you tap into thoughts, fears, or emotions that may be influencing you, perhaps unconsciously. To help with trauma, we might explore the impact of trauma on the brain and memory, with ‘psycho-education’ around common symptoms such as flashbacks, and practical techniques to help. These are just some examples.

I work face-to-face with individuals in the Rotherham/Doncaster area.
