Anna-Maria Anderson

I see clients on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and currently have limited availability.

Sessions are weekly in frequency.

I am unable to offer evening and weekend appointments.

I offer long and short-term counselling online. This means you can join our sessions without the hassle of leaving home. The secure online platform enables us to see each other as we would if face-to-face, or if you prefer, you can turn your camera off. An internet connection is required and a safe and private place where you can talk freely. I hold a certificate in online and telephone counselling and although I have worked face-to-face in the past, I find working online to be more accessable, especially to those who may find leaving home overwhelming, or clients who have tight schedules. It also works well when people need to access therapy from different locations.

I am a fully qualified and insured counsellor, holding a Foundation Degree (Distinction) in Transactional Analysis in Humanistic Counselling (Level 5). My career history prior to becoming a counsellor is diverse, from warehouse work to being a PA within an International company and even an equestrian career! My journey through life led me to become a single parent and enter higher education as an adult to retrain as a counsellor, which taught me it is possible to find a new passion. It seems to be inbuilt into my personality to connect with people from all walks of life, which I experience as being helpful as a counsellor, as I am able to connect well with most people who come to me for therapy.

I hold a Level 4 qualification in Suicide Prevention, and a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism. I also hold Level 2 and 3 qualifications in Counselling Skills,Transactional Analysis 101 and regularly undertake CPD in many different areas.

I started out counselling through an organisations to support victims of sexual and domestic abuse and can provide a safe way of working with many forms of trauma. I also worked for an organisation providing support to problem gamblers and affected others and have experience and understanding of the impact of addiction, along with knowledge in the neurobiology of substance misuse, which puts me in a good postion to support clients who are struggling in this area, or their relatives. I work with a large spectrum of different areas

with clients, which you can learn more about if you read on!

My modality is Transactional Analysis (TA), developed by Eric Berne. TA has been written to be understood by all, and I have received much positive feedback from client's who tell me learning TA concepts has really deepened their understand of themselves and others. I may also use techniques from other modalities such as CBT, psychoeducation, Gestalt, or through creativity. My approach is tailored to the individual.

If you have found yourself in a difficult place and feel you would benefit from support to reach where you would like to be, then I could possibly help. Having a safe space away from the pressures of day-to-day life, to talk without judgement and concentrate fully on yourself, can be a profound experience. Often life can lead us to feel overwhelmed, anxious or lost. You might be questioning whether a relationship is right and need some professional support to enable you to explore and make better sense of your thoughts and feelings. Conflict could be becoming the main form of interaction within a relationship and you wish to explore the dynamics and take control of navigating towards less stressful and healthier connection.

Affairs happen, relationships end for various reasons and families split. These events can leave us sat with grief, unanswered questions and a lack of hope and clarity around what the future may hold. I can provide support and a place to talk freely and work through emotions such as pain, guilt, confusion, hopelessness, and overwhelm.

Anxiety is a really common form of suffering I see in clients. I work using a range of techniques to help reduce symptoms and to help increase a sense of calm. Once someone is experiencing greater stability and ability to function, we often look at where the anxiety is coming from and work at a deeper level to change internal processes.

Often as adults we can feel we are 'spinning too many plates'. We may have returned to education, or be having a troubled time at work. Having someone to support us and talk to each week can be such a comfort and together we can look at ways to help manage and reduce stress, explore available resources and manage situations as they arise.

Often clients can eventually move away from working in the present to looking back to learn and understand how their childhood has influenced who they have become. This can lead more fulfilling relationships and positive behavioural changes. 

You may well be feeling nervous about starting therapy, but hopefully I can put you at ease! Questions and enquiries are always welcome and clients who start sessions soon tend to relax into themselves and the therapeutic space, which is just for them!

Initially, I will ask you to provide me with some insight of what has led you to seek counselling. If you can provide some information on your initial email, this would be helpful.

There are a couple of areas I do not feel appropriately qualifed to work with. These are adoption and food limiting eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia.

Before we embark on our counselling journey together, I will ask you to complete an assessment session. This is an important process to help me to get to know you better and enables us to gather important information to aid our work together. It will feel different from a counselling session, as I will be leading the focus of the session by asking a series of questions, where as counselling is more of a spontanious and organic process.

Assessment and counselling sessions last 50 minutes.

We will run though apects of the counselling relationship, such as confidentiality, which you will also be given details of in writing through my professional contract. I have a contract in place with all clients, which ensures there is clarity around what is expected from both parties, which helps to build a feeling of safety.

I work with clients for a minimum of six sessions and with some people long term. At the assesment I will encourage you to talk about what has brought you to counselling and how you would like to benefit. We will then form what is called a working contract, which will and enables us to focus and structure our work towards meeting your personal goals. This is verbal and we will review it regularly and can make adjustments or change it according to your personal needs and desires.

I see clients on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and currently have limited availability. 

I work with clients exclusively online, which allows you to access therapy from the comfort of your own home and without the cost and time of travelling to sessions. 

Having a safe space away from the pressures of day-to-day life, to talk without judgement and concentrate fully on yourself can be a profound experience. You may be feeling overwhelmed about a situation, struggling mentally in daily life, or wish to process and make sense of things that have happened in your past. Once we have established what has brought you to counselling, we can work together towards meeting your needs, at your own pace. Counselling is a space for reflection, exploration and an opportunity to deepen self-awareness, which is the catalyst for change.

I offer long and short-term counselling online, via Zoom. Clients can benefit from meeting virtually from the comfort of their own home and being able to choose whether to be able to see each other as you would face-to-face or turn the camera off. An internet connection is required and a safe and private place where you can talk freely. This way of working can be appealing, due to accessibility and time efficiency and reduces geographical constraints.

I am a fully qualified and insured counsellor, holding a Foundation Degree (Distinction) in Transactional Analysis in Humanistic Counselling (Level 5). I also hold a Level 4 qualification in Suicide Prevention, a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and have recently completed a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism. I also hold Level 2 and 3 qualifications in Counselling Skills and a Transactional Analysis 101. I am wholeheartedly invested in a lifetime of learning and personal development and regularly undertake CPD.

My modality is Transactional Analysis, developed by Eric Berne. TA has been written to be understood by all, meaning concepts can be shared to aid client’s understanding of self and others. I may also use techniques from other modalities such as CBP, psychoeducation, Gestalt, or through creativity. My approach is tailored to each individual client based on their preferences and way of processing.

I work with clients to provide support through times of depression and feelings of hopelessness, towards feeling happier and more in control of their mental wellbeing. For those struggling with anxiety, I use a range of techniques to help them to feel calmer. Perhaps you are finding anger to be negatively impacting your behaviour and relationships and would like to gain more control. I also support clients who live with more complex mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Those struggling within a relationship may find it helpful to explore and understand their thoughts and feelings, take a closer look at the dynamics of your relationship and work towards finding ways in which to reduce conflict. The aim for others may be to move towards healing after a break-up or divorce.

Most of us have experienced trauma of some kind and human beings can suffer layers of trauma of varying degrees. The impact of trauma may be outside of conscious awareness, or symptoms can be so severe that they impair a person’s ability to function and lead a happy life. Abuse of all forms in childhood and adulthood and traumatic life events can all be reasons for seeking the support of a counsellor. I can provide a safe way of working with trauma, in correspondence with an individual’s needs, whether that’s dealing with emotional pain, difficulty self-regulating, or breaking a cycle of unhealthy relationships.

I have also worked specifically in the field of addiction and feel very passionate about providing support to those struggling and to the families of those affected. Addiction is often a coping mechanism in response to an underlying issue and I offer the opportunity to look at ways of replacing unhealthy behaviours with healthy ways of coping and the opportunity for the client to look at what may lie beneath. Addiction can lead to pain, feelings of shame, confusion and disbelief. I can offer acceptance, empathy and a space to talk freely.

Initially, I will ask you to provide me with some insight of what has led you to seek counselling.  If you can provide some information on your intial email, this would be helpful.  It may also be helpful to have a chat via Zoom. 

During our first session I will complete an assessment with you.  This will help me to get to know you better and provide me with important information to aid our work together.
