Annette Braun

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and my approach to therapy has been informed by both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, as well as attention to what our bodies might hold and can tell us. I have worked in the voluntary sector with homeless and vulnerable adults and have been a volunteer counsellor for a LGBTQ charity. I used to work in higher education and I am also interested in challenges related to working in the university sector.

As a therapist I offer a non-judgemental space for clients to explore whatever they want to bring. Perhaps something in your life is no longer working or has become too difficult to bear. It might be that your customary ways of living or relating no longer serve you or no longer feel possible. Therapy provides opportunities to think, feel and reflect on what is happening in the present, on your past, and on your internal and external worlds. You might be coming to therapy wanting to discuss relationship, work and/or family experiences and we might find that there are common themes or patterns. Therapy is a place where you can be curious and take risks and where I will provide a holding and relational space where all parts of you are welcome.

I work online Monday - Thursday and in-person on Fridays in Hackney E8. 

I offer an initial, no fee, 20 minute phone or online conversation. This is an opportunity where we can meet, ask questions and find out more about what you are hoping for in terms of your therapy and whether I might be a suitable therapist for you.
