Anna Hodgson

I am the local village counsellor and based in Brantham, where I have a warm and comfortable counselling room.

I am available some evenings and all day Wednesday. I am available on a Saturday morning. 

I offer a free 20 minute consultation 

You deserve a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is warm, empathetic, and non‑judgemental, offering a supportive environment where you can show up exactly as you are. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to be yourself, while also being gently encouraged to explore new perspectives and possibilities.

My style is compassionate and collaborative. I take the time to understand your experiences and meet you where you are, while offering thoughtful challenge when it feels helpful. Growth often comes from balancing kindness with honesty, and together we can explore patterns, deepen self‑awareness, and build practical tools that support lasting change.

🌿 About Me

My name is Anna, and I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist. I work with children, young people, adults, couples, and families, offering a safe, compassionate, and adaptable therapeutic space for people of all ages.

🧠 My Experience

With over 20 years of experience, I have supported adults facing a wide range of challenges, including:

Alcohol and drug-related issues

Domestic abuse

Childhood trauma

Depression and anxiety

Emotional instability

Low self-esteem and anger

Self-harm

Identity and LGBTQ+ issues

I also have extensive experience working with neurodivergent clients and with adults who have experienced physical or sexual harm in childhood.

🌱 Working With Children

Alongside my work with adults, I have over two decades of experience supporting children in a therapeutic capacity. Much of this has involved working with children in care who have experienced significant trauma and loss.

I am passionate about offering creative, flexible, and child‑centred therapeutic support. I understand the pressures and complexities children face today, and I aim to help them navigate their emotions and experiences through regular, consistent counselling.

🎨 How I Work

I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each client. My therapeutic services include:

Talking therapy

Play therapy

Creative approaches

Gardening therapy

Walking therapy

I believe in thinking outside the box and meeting clients—especially children—where they are, using methods that feel natural and supportive for them.

🏡 My Practice

I am based in the village of Brantham, where I offer sessions in a warm, comfortable, and welcoming counselling room. My aim is to create a space where people feel safe, heard, and understood.
