Hello there, I'm Annie.
Something has brought you here, and I would love to help.....so a little about me.
I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist (CPCAB- Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body).
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy BACP, working to a professional standard and upholding the ethical framework.
I am also a SafeLives UK qualified Independent Domestic Violence Advocate.
I am trained to level 1 in Internal Family Systems, a parts- based model of psychotherapy developed by Richard Schwartz in the US, that is currently gaining popularity in the UK and worldwide. A method of understanding our internal wounds and defence mechanisms to gain freedom from unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
I don't believe that therapy is a one size fits all situation. I prefer to use my skills and training to find the perfect fit for your needs.
Prior to my therapist training, I had a career with West Yorkshire Police, providing safeguarding roles and training police officers and partner agencies.
With over 20 years experience working with victims of domestic abuse. I have worked alongside perpetrator behavioural change programmes and have in depth knowledge of the dynamics of controlling and abusive behaviour patterns, their effects and consequences.
As a trauma specialist, with 4 years experience at a Rape Crisis charity, I have worked with survivors of sexual abuse, including incest and Child Sexual Exploitation.
I can help with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, insomnia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and any other debilitating condition that is getting in the way of you living your best life.
Carer stress is largely unrecognised, in all its forms. If you have found yourself in this position, of any kind, often without a choice, then I can help you to navigate your situation to the best possible scenario. I have lived experience of life as a carer.
I deliver counselling sessions to adolescents at a local secondary school, enquiries regarding sessions with young people are welcome.
Standard session fees are £50 for fifty minutes
Whatever is troubling you, please don't be on your own with it, I can listen with empathy, sensitivity and no judgement. Together we will find a way through this for you. We all need a little help sometimes.
