My name is Peace Anumah. I am a Bible-believing, born-again Christian and an experienced, qualified Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in mental health since 2004 and have over 16 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy. I hold senior accredited status with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and am accredited by the UK and European EMDR Academy. 

In my practice, I create a safe space where my clients can feel relaxed and openly speak, scream, cry, vent, and charge forward with fierce determination toward a more rewarding life. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where individuals, couples and families can take time to explore and understand their thoughts and feelings, helping them navigate the complexities of family life, work, relationships, etc.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I am aware of the complex impact trauma (any perceived trauma) has on a person’s suffering and how it shapes a person’s ability to cope. I also help clients whose childhood, bad relationships, bad experiences and overall past affect their decisions and choices in having a fulfilling life. Don’t let the voice from the past ruin your present and future.

I offer counselling support to help clients – individuals, couples and families- create a vision, set goals and timelines, and remain organised and focused on their journey to therapeutic healing and change. With my strategies, clients are able to realise and learn how thought processes (negative self-talk) impact feelings and behaviours, and how to resolve conflict and develop healthier ways of communicating.

I enjoy helping people; it is my innate instinct. When someone is in need, I always offer a helping hand as a knee-jerk reaction. I value personal growth and connection with clients, helping them get “unstuck” by removing barriers and roadblocks that inhibit their passion.

My private practice is Piece into Peace (www.pieceintopeace.com)

An initial paid counselling assessment is offered to all clients. This assessment process is not counselling but it is a necessary part of deciding if we can offer you counselling going forwards.

The initial assessment gives you an opportunity to meet me and discuss why you have come to ‘Piece Into Peace’ and what you want to get from the counselling. We will also discuss a number of other topics such as explaining what counselling involves; the Counselling contract; and answering any questions you might have. 

The initial assessment session (s) will normally take 50 minutes. An essential part of your therapeutic experience requires developing a therapeutic relationship with your counsellor. It is okay to say that you don't wish to work with me as it needs to feel right for you. Please note that the initial assessment can be more than 1 session depending on the situation.

If at the end of this assessment process it is agreed that we may be able to help you, it is then for you to decide whether you would like to undertake ongoing counselling.  If your counsellor doesn't think we are best placed to help you, they may suggest another organisation or other services that would be available to you.
