Calm support when life feels overwhelming
Hi, I’m Ann.
I offer a compassionate, down-to-earth space where emotional healing is supported with clarity, respect, and care. My integrated approach draws on a range of therapeutic models – including attachment-informed, trauma-sensitive, and strengths-based practices – tailored to meet your unique needs.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, low mood, relationship challenges, or the emotional impact of chronic pain, I’ll work alongside you to reconnect with what matters and move toward a life shaped by your values. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build insight, and gently strengthen your emotional resilience.
My Approach to Therapy
I work with adults aged 18 and over. My practice is inclusive and welcoming of clients across all neurotypes, including autistic individuals and people with ADHD, whether formally diagnosed or exploring their neurodivergence. I adapt language, pace and therapeutic materials so sessions feel accessible, respectful and emotionally safe for each person.
I support clients to explore early relational experiences, reframe core beliefs, and build self-compassion. Whether you're seeking short-term support or deeper, long-term work, sessions are collaborative and paced to suit you.
With a rich background in mental health, trauma-informed care, and organisational governance, I bring a thoughtful, ethical lens to every session. Therapy with me is grounded, flexible, and always centred on your wellbeing
Qualifications & Experience
I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor with a degree in Therapeutic Counselling and full registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My practice is firmly grounded in the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring that you are met with professionalism, empathy, and integrity.
In addition to my formal counselling qualifications, I bring over 30 years of experience in life coaching, supporting individuals through complex life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. This extensive background enriches my integrative therapeutic approach, allowing me to draw on a wide range of tools and insights tailored to your needs.
My work is underpinned by:
- A commitment to ethical, trauma-informed care
- A deep understanding of emotional regulation, grief, and resilience
- A client-centred philosophy that supports you to reclaim your voice and sense of purpose
I am police checked (DBS) and fully insured.
How I Work
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you – it’s about reclaiming your narrative, processing difficult emotions, and cultivating self-compassion. I integrate evidence-based strategies with a strong emphasis on emotional safety and client autonomy.

Regulate Emotions
Understand and manage anxiety, anger, grief, or overwhelm with grounded, compassionate tools.
Reclaim Your Story
Move beyond the weight of pain, trauma, or loss by reconnecting with your strengths and identity
Live by Your Values
Prioritise what truly matters –beyond roles, pressures, or expectations.

My location
I work from private rooms in a quiet part of Wolverhampton, offering a calm and confidential space for in-person counselling. I welcome clients from Tettenhall, Tettenhall Wood, Codsall, Wombourne, and surrounding areas. Full location details will be provided once your session is arranged.
I can sometimes offer walking therapy or meeting outside if clients wish but it’s weather dependant.
In addition to face-to-face therapy, I also offer online counselling via Google Meet and Teams, as well as telephone counselling, working with clients across the UK. This provides a flexible and accessible way to access support from the comfort of your own space.
If you're unsure whether in-person, online, or telephone counselling is right for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch to discuss what might feel most comfortable.
