Anne Timpson

 Hello, I’m Anne. I have a gentle approach to therapy where I listen to you carefully and then we talk together. I’m interested in discovering why you are as you are, and often find that our past contains helpful clues.

Understanding yourself can help you feel more in control. I aim to help you increase your self-awareness because we all have blind spots. It gives you the option in the moment of doing things differently from your old pattern of behaviour.

I work with a range of problems and I am particularly interested in relationships. These could be with your parents, your children, your siblings, your friends, your work colleagues and of course your partners. You’re welcome to come as an individual or as a couple - both options have their advantages.

And relationships also include the ones you have lost through bereavement, a loss you may want help in coming to terms with.

Challenges in life, including those in relationships, can leave us feeling unsettled and unhappy. Our work together will be to develop the resources you have within you, to help you handle difficult situations and to feel more at ease

In the first session I ask you a series of essential questions to establish whether we are able to work together. After this I am very keen to hear your story. At the end of the session clients usually know whether they want to continue to work together or you may wish to reflect and decide in the following days.
