Anna Dallavalle

I am an Italian and English speaking Counsellor and Psychotherapist accredited with BACP.

Reaching out when in distress can be a very difficult thing to do. Distress can manifest in very different ways: some people feel unbearably sad and hopeless; others don’t seem to be able to stop worrying and fretting. Anger, shame, guilt and generally feeling bad about oneself are also common emotions that lead people to counselling. Irrespective of what leads you here today, looking at my profile, this is a very important step.

I work with clients 18+ and my aim is to help them reach their goals and, generally, improve their quality of life.

Sometimes people find it difficult to formulate goals for their therapy and this is OK. Together, we will unpick the issues that keep them stuck and find a way forward.

As an integrative therapist I pull upon a range of therapies (including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT and Solution Focused Therapy) best suited to you and your circumstances.  

Availability

I am running a mixed practice, either seeing clients remotely or face to face, as they prefer.

Remote work takes place on the telephone, WhatsApp or an encrypted platform called Whereby. There is no need for the client to download anything on their phone or laptop. Clicking a link is all that's needed.

For clients who prefer meeting in person, my consulting room in Netherton Park is easily reachable by car (just off the A1).  There is plenty of onsite parking and toilets facilities are available.

A session lasts 50 minutes and my fee is £55 for individuals and £70 for couples.

In the course of the first session, I will explain how I work and, together, we will discuss what you hope to achieve from your therapy. It is not uncommon for the goals to change as we work and that is fine. Some people prefer to use the counselling space in a less structured way and that is also possible.
