Anna Knowles

Counselling for Adults (Individual & Couples) young adults/adolescents.

Life can feel difficult at times, and it’s not always easy to talk about what you’re going through. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, but it’s also a reminder that you matter and that you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

I offer a warm, safe, and confidential space where you can speak openly and honestly about whatever is on your mind, without fear of judgement. Sometimes it can be hard to talk to friends, family, or loved ones, and having someone outside of your everyday life to listen can make a real difference.

I work with adults, couples, young adults, and adolescents, supporting people through challenges such as anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed, or simply feeling stuck.

My role isn’t to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, so that you can find your own way forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone.

I am an integrative therapist with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals and couples aged 16 and over.

 My approach is tailored to each client, drawing on a range of therapeutic theories and techniques depending on your individual needs, experiences, and goals for therapy.

During the initial assessment, we will work collaboratively to explore what has brought you to therapy and identify the most effective approach to support you in getting the most from the therapeutic process.

My professional experience includes:

• Working in private practice with individuals and couples aged 16+

• Over 9 years of experience within the higher education sector, providing counselling support to students and helping them continue their studies and achieve their full potential

• Supporting adults experiencing difficulties related to substance misuse

I currently work within my own private practice and offer both face-to-face and remote counselling sessions via Teams or telephone.

I am accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and I am also registered with Bupa, AXA, AVIVA, VITALITY & WPA

I offer short-term, long-term, and open-ended therapy to suit your individual needs.

The 1st session will give you an opportunity to -

• Meet 
• Ask questions
• Discuss what has brought you to therapy
• What you would like to achieve.
