Anna Driver

Right now, you’re stuck between what your life looks like to everyone else and how it actually feels to live it.

You love your family.

You’ve built a good life.

But something needs to change.

Not because your life is bad but because you’re tired of feeling stuck and like something is missing.

You’re constantly questioning:

• "Is this just me..is it the menopause..or is it just the relationships around me?"

You don’t know what to do but you need to do something.

You’re terrified of getting it wrong.

You talk to your friends but you don’t tell them everything.

You ask chat GPT:

• “Is this the menopause or am I just unhappy?”
• “How do you know if your marriage is over?”

You find that it's posts on instagram that help you feel better about yourself.

You need a break through.

Maybe you’re looking for permission to leave.

Waiting for something to happen.

Secretly wishing there was an affair or some undeniable proof that something is wrong.

Not because you want that to happen but because it would make the decision for you.

But what you acctualy need is a way forward.

A chance to reconnect with yourself and create something more.

A space to discover what lights you up, what matters to you and what you want from this next chapter of your life.

A space to feel like you again and discover what you’re capable of.

A space to be honest and feel supported away from family and friends.

Because sometimes the thing you’re missing is just yourself.

Therapy with me is not about telling you to leave your relationship or turn your life upside down.

It’s simply about helping you reconnect with yourself away from your family and friends.

A space for you to figure out:

• how you really feel
• what you actually want
• who you are underneath all the responsibilities, the pressure and the expectations you’ve carried for so long

My approach is gentle, honest and grounded in real life. No therapy jargon. No judgement.

Don’t wait for breaking point to turn it around.

Finding the right therapist is a fundamental part of the counselling process. 

Feeling comfortable and connected is key to your overall experience and outcome.

The best way to discover if we are a good fit for each other is to meet, either by telephone, video call or in person.

That's why I offer the free introductory call.

It's an opportunity for us to meet.

I'll explain the way I work and you can ask any questions you might have.

We can talk through your hopes and expectations of our time together and we'll both get a feel for how our sessions will be.

I work flexibly and adjust session plans to suit your needs and desired outcomes.

There is no pressure to take it any further, I always recommend speaking to a few therapists first, you'll know when it feels right, and I urge you to trust that feeling.

I offer you a calm space, in a relaxed rural setting.

A safe space where you can untangle your thoughts and reconnect with yourself.

Where you can be real and honest about what you're experiencing.

Together we can take steps towards change.

Change doesn't have to be dramatic, it doesn't mean a complete overhaul of your life, it's just looking at new ways of managing the demands you face so you can move forward in a positive way.

Think of your first session as a conversation. You don't need to prepare anything.

You don’t need a clear plan or there are no right answers.

Just come as you are.

Together we’ll explore what’s been happening in your life and what’s brought you here. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable.

There’s no pressure or rush to tell me everything at once.

My role isn’t to judge or tell you what decisions to make, instead I offer a supportive space to make sense of what’s going on in your world and start exploring what you need to move forward.

The first step can feel daunting but you don’t have to have it all figured out, that’s the point so come as you are, no pressure.

My clients tell me they leave their first session feeling lighter, relieved to have finally talked about it and surprised how easy it felt.

I do offer a free 20 minute introductory call before your first session. It's a relaxed call that gives us a chance to meet each other either in person, via telephone or video call.

There's no pressure to book. 

I always suggest giving yourself some time after the call to process the information before deciding on your next steps.

I offer a variety of sessions plans and block bookings:

Personal Therapy - 50 mins - £65

Walking Therapy - 50 min - £75

Goal Focused Session - 90 mins - £120

Wellbeing Check-In (existing clients only) 30 mins - £45

I'll look forward to meeting you.
