Counselling and Coaching with Ann-Marie

(M NCS Prof. Accred, IPT-UK Accredited Member)

Hi, I’m Ann-Marie

I’m a professionally accredited Counsellor (Prof. Dip Psy C.), Children & Young People’s Therapist (CYPT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapist, accredited with both the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (MNCS Prof. Accred NCS18-06005) and IPT-UK (2020996).  I’m also a Certified Coach (Cert. Coaching NTNU).

I offer a warm, collaborative and person-centred approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based therapies, including Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Couples & Relational Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
Every person and relationship is unique, so together we’ll decide which approach best supports you.

How I Work

I’m genuinely interested in who you are, what’s happening in your world, and how you make sense of things.
My job is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk freely, explore emotions, and discover new perspectives.

Together we can:

• Understand patterns that shape how you relate to others

• Identify practical ways to manage challenges

• Build insight and confidence to move toward your goals

I’m passionate about equality and neurodiversity, and I have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent adults and young people who may experience the world differently.

Experience

My experience includes working within NHS Talking Therapies services supporting mild-to-moderate depression and anxiety, and within youth counselling services and schools, helping adults, young people and children from many backgrounds.

Is My Approach Right for You?

You may find our work helpful if you:

• • Find relationships or friendships difficult to form or maintain

  • Struggle with a specific relationship — partner, parent or friend

  • Feel shaped by difficult early family experiences

  • Notice a gap between how you appear to others and how you actually feel

  • Want to understand recurring patterns but can’t seem to change them
