My Experience

HI, I am Anna. I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience supporting young people, adults, teams, and organisations. My work uses evidence-based psychological therapy and coaching approaches that help people overcome barriers, build resilience, enhance performance, and achieve meaningful goals. Whatever it is, I will do my best to understand and help.

I will work with you, to provide a compassionate, trauma and culturally informed space, where we can better make sense of your experiences, develop your strengths, and create lasting change.

Areas of Special Interest

Psychological Therapy

I specialise in helping people who have experienced what life has thrown at them including trauma, adversity, stress, anxiety, low mood, burnout, and challenging life transitions. Drawing on evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I support people to process difficult experiences, improve emotional wellbeing, and build fulfilling lives aligned with their values.

I can help with:

  • Anxiety (and related difficulties such as OCD, phobias, social anxiety etc)
  • Depression
  • Low self-esteem
  • Performance anxiety and confidence
  • Relationship issues
  • Sport coaching in relation to anxiety, goal setting, focus and attention, balancing performance with life, coping with accidents in sport
  • Trauma (including PSTD and C-PTSD)
  • Understanding yourself and directions in life
  • Work related issues (eg confidence, direction, relational difficulties, effectiveness and performance)

Coaching and Performance Psychology

I am an accredited coach working with professionals, leaders, athletes, and individuals seeking to reach their full potential. Whether you are looking to improve confidence, overcome self-doubt, strengthen leadership skills, enhance focus or achieve personal or professional goals, I use psychological principles to help you perform at your best. 

I also support athletes and sports professionals to develop mental resilience, manage pressure, maintain motivation, improve focus, and optimise performance.

Supervision and Consultancy

I provide clinical supervision, reflective practice, and professional support (including training) to psychologists, therapists, and other helping professionals. I also work with organisations to promote staff wellbeing, reduce burnout, develop psychologically informed workplaces, and support leaders in creating healthy, high-performing teams that are trauma and culture informed.

My Values

I recognise that culture, identity, relationships, and life experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. I welcome people from all backgrounds and will work with you to provide a space that feels safe, respectful, and non-judgemental to explore challenges, including trauma, discrimination, racism, workplace difficulties, and life transitions.

My aim is to help people move forward with greater clarity, confidence and purpose in a way that feels right for you. I believe that you, have the ability to accomplish the things you want, my job is to help you believe it too. 

The Models I Work With

I use a range of psychological therapies to suit your needs, which we can discuss together during our first appointment.  I predominantly use Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) models.  These can be used in their ‘pure’ form or as part of an integrative approach depending on what works best for you.

If you are feeling a bit “stuck” with where you want to go in life, need more balance or want to improve your performance at work or in sport, then coaching might be helpful for you. In coaching, my goal is to help you reach your potential and achieve the goals you set for our work. I offer a free 30 minute session to see if we are a good fit.

Clinic Information

I currently hold a clinic in Petersfield, Hampshire with appointments on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday mornings and Friday all day. I also offer virtual appointments throughout the week and some evenings.

I work with people from aged 16 years upwards.
