Anna Goulder

I offer sessions Monday-Saturday face to face, on zoom and phone.

I believe that everyone is unique and important. We all experience times when life is hard or confusing. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression or low mood. Perhaps you are having difficulty in your relationships. You may have gone through a past trauma or perhaps been diagnosed with a disability or illness and are worried about the future. Often it isn't possible to share difficult feelings with people in our lives and so therapy can provide a safe and supportive space, free of judgement, to express and work through uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. The idea of therapy can feel daunting but it can also be transformational.

I like to work with clients in a collaborative way, helping people to gain more insight and self awareness. This awareness can help alleviate anxiety and stress and lead to a greater sense of freedom and choice. We will talk about what you want to share and go at your own pace. 

I firmly believe people are often far more resourceful than they think and so I will also spend time identifying your strengths and what is going well for you. 

I endeavour to meet every client with warmth, respect and kindness. I am caring, insightful and have a good sense of humour too.

Background

I have a background in the arts and education, and have worked as an actor. I have worked in a variety of settings including: prisons, dementia care homes, schools, law firms, charities, business and corporate settings and local community groups.  

I am also currently working at Alternatives Trust East London offering low-cost counselling.

£55 per 50 minute session on zoom/phone

£65 per 50 minute session face to face in Greenwich.

As an integrative counsellor I draw from different therapeutic approaches including Person-Centred, CBT, Existential, Psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis. This means that my sessions are bespoke and built around what each client needs.

I have worked with clients who have sought counselling for a variety of reasons including:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Stress
• Low self-confidence
• Abusive relationships
• Counselling for abortion
• Career problems
• Autism diagnosis
• Bereavement
• Parenting difficulties
• Religious conflict
• Childhood experiences

The first initial consultation is via telephone or zoom and is free of charge. This is an opportunity to see if we could be a good fit to work together and to answer any questions you may have.

There is no obligation to have counselling with me after this call.

I offer face to face sessions 6pm-10pm on Tuesdays at The Awareness Centre in Clapham, SW4 9JX.

I offer online sessions on zoom throughout the week.
