Counselling
Counselling
Regular time to talk about whatever is on your mind: feelings, relationships, things that have happened, or a sense that something isn't right. You don't need to know exactly what you want to say.
About counsellingCounselling and coaching for adults
You don't need the right words to start.
I'm Annie Andrews, a counsellor working with adults. I offer counselling, anger management counselling and coaching, each shaped around you: what you want to talk about, how you'd like to work, and a pace that feels manageable.

Hello
Counselling that fits the person in the room
People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes there's something specific: a relationship that has gone wrong, a loss, a feeling that won't shift. Sometimes it's harder to name, and you just know that things don't feel right.
I don't expect you to arrive with a neat explanation. My job is to listen carefully, to understand how things are for you, and to work out with you what might help. You won't be judged, and you won't be asked to fit yourself into someone else's idea of how you should be feeling.
I've worked as a counsellor in community, educational and therapeutic settings, with adults, children and young people. That range has shown me that no two people want quite the same thing from counselling.

Three ways to work with me
Not sure which fits? That's what the free initial conversation is for.
My specialism
Anger management counselling
One-to-one counselling focused on anger: what sets it off, what sits underneath it, and how it affects you and the people around you. Anger is the area I've specialised in.
About anger management counsellingCoaching
Coaching
A more forward-looking way of working, for when you want to think through a decision, a change, or what you want next, and work out how to get there.
About coachingWhat people bring
Some of the things I have experience working with
Anxiety and overwhelm
When your mind won't settle, or everyday things have started to feel like too much.
Self-esteem and confidence
A harsh inner voice, or a sense that you're never quite good enough.
Anger and difficult emotions
Feelings that seem to take over, or that you've learned to keep locked away.
Relationships
Patterns with partners, family, friends or colleagues that keep repeating or keep hurting.
Trauma and the past
Things that happened, recently or long ago, that still shape how you feel now.
Identity and life changes
Working out who you are, where you belong, or how to adjust when life shifts.
Low mood and depression
Feeling flat, heavy or stuck, whether or not you'd call it depression.
Something without a name
You don't need a label or a reason. "I'm not sure" is a good enough place to begin.
Counselling should be shaped around the person, and what feels helpful to them.
My approach
How I work
My approach is person-centred and integrative. In plain terms, I adapt how I work to you rather than following a fixed script.
My part is to offer a relationship that is honest, warm and non-judgemental, where you can think out loud and make sense of things in your own way. What we do is guided by your experiences, your needs and what you find useful.
