Anne Prendergast

My main availability is Wednesday daytimes and Monday and Wednesday evenings.

I have been qualified as a counsellor since 2006.

Accredited with the BACP.

Trained and practicing in EMDR therapy for trauma.

I have 8 years experience of working in occupational health counselling, working with bereavement, work issues, relationship issues, physical health issues, bullying, trauma, anxiety and depression, abusive relationships, stress.

I have a particular interest and experience in working with neurodiversity.

Trained in mindfulness and coaching.

I have worked with several charities and spent 7 years working as a specialist practitioner in maternal and paternal mental health, during and after pregnancy, including working as a parent/infant therapist, supporting the creation of strong bonds with new babies.

I work predominantly online/telephone.

I am happy to have a free informal chat to see if we are a fit, before starting any therapy.  We can discuss what you need and what I can offer.

I wish to have a clear understanding of what you are hoping to achieve from counselling, so I will go through an assessment with you on the first session to gain some clarity regarding your needs.  Although sometimes it is also ok not to be clear about what you want at first, but to work towards that.
