Anna Humphries

I currently have morning and evening availability on Monday and Thursday.

I offer face to face sessions in Haggerston. I can help you with a variety of presenting concerns such as anxiety, identity, depression and relationship issues.  I provide you a space which is safe and contained and in which we can think together about how you understand yourself and your relationships with others. I am particularly interested in how we make sense of things both consciously and unconsciously and how our early experiences affect how we feel about ourselves and our relationships throughout our lives. Working at depth can lead to meaningful emotional understanding and change.

I am experienced at working both with young and older adults as well as people from a wide variety of ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds with several years’ experience working as a Psychotherapist in NHS Secondary Care and as a Counsellor in higher education.

If you feel I may be able to help, or you would like to find out more about my approach please do get in touch via email or telephone to arrange a brief initial telephone consultation for which I do not charge.

I offer sessions at a minimum of once a week frequency. My practice is psychanalytically informed and the regularity and security of the frame (meeting at the same time and place each week) is central to the therapeutic approach I offer.  

I always suggest at least 2 initial consultations to give space to get to know each other, to have an understanding of what you are bringing and also of how I work and could help you. The first consultation is to give you time to tell me about yourself in an unhurried manner. The second consultation will include time to talk about the therapeutic contract which we agree to in ongoing work together.
