Anne McLain

I currently have availability

I work Monday to Friday 8am to 7pm

The shortest days of winter can sometimes make life's difficulties feel even heavier. Perhaps old worries have resurfaced, new challenges have appeared, or you're finding yourself feeling anxious, low, angry, lonely or simply overwhelmed. Family relationships proving difficult, work or study becoming increasingly stressful, or perhaps you just need someone to talk to. 

Maybe you know something needs to change, but you're not sure where to begin. Working out what can be done to improve how you are feeling can seem difficult. Whatever your reason for clicking on this link, you don't have to face it alone. I would like to help - you can feel better.

If you are the parent of a child or young person who is struggling, I can provide a safe, supportive space where they can begin to make sense of what they are experiencing and develop greater confidence in themselves.

My name is Annie (she/her), and I am not here to judge. I will listen and hear you. My focus is on being able to build a genuine relationship in which you feel comfortable enough to explore what you want and who you are. I would like to help you work out ways to make your life better; provide the space you need to feel more confident.

Asking for help can be difficult. I will do my best to make things as easy as possible for you once you have taken the leap.

I am a fully qualified and BACP Accredited, person-centred counsellor, which means that you decide what you want to bring to each session, and we move forward together from there.

I work with adults, students, young people and children from a variety of different backgrounds and with a rainbow of individual needs (including SEN and Neurodiversity). I hope to be able to meet with you soon.

I am also available to work with counselling students.

Fee structure:

Children, students, concessions £40, Adults £60

I work from home. I am available for face to face sessions, I also working online via Zoom. I find both types of interaction work really well. Please contact me for details.

In the first session, we will go through my client contract which covers some of the boundaries around working together. I will also get some personal details from you. After that, it is over to you - why have you come for counselling and what do you hope to achieve. We will establish whether we think we can work together and look at how we should move forward from this point.
