Anna Alward

My usual working hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 10am and 8pm. I will try to be flexible whenever I can.

The best way to contact me is by email: anna.alward@gmail.com 

I'm happy to arrange a phone call at a time that suits you, so that you can ask any questions before deciding whether to book a session. 

Hello and welcome. 

Life brings so many challenges. As an older therapist, I offer a wealth of life experience alongside my professional training. I aim to provide a warm, secure and confidential in-person space in Ramsgate where you can safely explore your thoughts, navigate life transitions, and find a way forward.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming. I will do my best to help with this and am always happy to answer questions. If it's daunting to telephone, it can feel a little easier to send an email.

I am an integrative therapist offering a warm, confidential and validating space. Because no two people are the same, the integrative approach draws on a blend of person-centred, CBT, creative and psychodynamic modalities, to tailor our work specifically to your unique needs and pace. 

I work with people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures and offer affirmative support for the LGBGT+ community across all generations. 

Relationship counselling is available to navigate communication difficulties, conflict and diverse family and relationship structures.

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy to support you in navigating a world built for neuro-typicals. 

Trauma-informed support to help you to gently process past trauma, adverse childhood experiences and loss. 

Therapy to support young people with self discovery and older adults with transitions of all kinds.

Or maybe you have been longing for a space to talk in confidence and to feel heard and understood.  

I work in a comfortable therapy space, which is located in a large ground floor room in a house where parking is available nearby, and if cycling, there is an inner hallway to leave your bike. Ramsgate train station is a 10-12 walk. 

You are welcome to get in contact by email and let me know if you have questions. We can arrange a free initial phone call if this would be of help. 

Alternatively, you can arrange an in-person consultation at my usual fee, which will give you a longer time to explore your thoughts. This first session is often of help in itself, and there's no obligation to continue, but if you'd like to have further meetings, these can be arranged for as long as you feel they are of help.

I offer a sliding scale of fees, usually from £50-£70 per session, but lower fees can sometimes be negotiated if you are on a low income.
