I’m Anna, a humanistic counsellor working online and in person in Hackney. I currently have a small amount of availability for new clients, mostly in daytime slots – please contact me for more details.

I work in Private Practice from Farringdon and New Cross Gate. I identify as queer and genderfluid. ​ After starting my working life as an actor, I began my counselling journey over 30 years ago as a Samaritan volunteer and spent 10 years working as a Counselling Supervisor at ChildLine. I managed METRO charity’s LGBTQIA+ Counselling service for 11-25 year olds, as well as being responsible for covering the adult service. I am a member of the Gendered Intelligence Network for Therapists and Counsellors. I also am a qualified teacher. Please see my website for current availability.

Perhaps you feel stuck, find yourself in the middle of a crisis, or you want a space in which to examine and reflect on your own story and what has brought you to the point you’re at now. Perhaps you want to see if there is another way of telling your story. My intention is to grow a unique and collaborative relationship with you. We may work on your present situation as well as the whole of your history. Putting it as simply as I can: I provide a confidential space in which you’ll be able to talk openly.

Welcome to my profile. I understand that there are times when it is vital to have someone to talk to in a safe, supportive and confidential environment. Such an environment can often be a relief, facilitating a better understanding of one’s challenges and creating opportunities for deep personal transformation and improved relationships with others. I am charted psychologist with British Psychological Society Accredited and registered Psychotherapist with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and European Association for Counsellors

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and my approach to therapy has been informed by both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, alongside attention to what our bodies might hold and can tell us. This means that as well as recognising you as the expert on your own experiences, we may look back at some of your early and family history and how those relationships may be influencing what is happening for you in the present.

I am a counsellor offering in-person and online sessions on a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, gender, and sexuality. Based in Liverpool Street, I mostly support LGBTQIA+ clients, and am committed to creating a welcoming, non-judgemental space that is trans-affirming, queer-affirming, and anti-racist.

I am an integrative psychotherapist, working in a psychoanalytic framework (both in person and online). This means I draw upon multiple approaches to provide therapy informed by your needs. This might be short or long-term therapy, but will be deep work, for people who want to explore the roots of their difficulties.

***Available for new clients on Tuesdays and Thursdays*** I work with individuals and couples- providing a warm, calm, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, experiences, relationships, or life challenges. Whether you need a compassionate listener or a deeply reflective and analytical approach, we will work towards your goals. In couples therapy, we can work together on a range of issues, including improving communication, managing conflict, navigating relationship transitions, and healing from grief or trauma.

I am a qualified and accredited psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist, with over 20 years of experience working with people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds.   I am committed to my work, and care deeply about people, their wellbeing and place in the world.   I am conscious of how difficult it can be to start talking openly, and my aim will always be to establish a safe, creative connection – so that what has perhaps previously been unspoken can be shared, processed and understood together.   I have worked in private practice, as well as many years
