"From the beginning I loved Anne-Marie's therapy practice. It felt very honest, caring and natural. She provided me with a space to get all the thoughts that were overwhelming me out from inside my head into the open, which really helped relieve the pressure." - PJ, London

Whether it feels too big to talk about, or even too small to bother anyone with, if it's making you feel anxious or disrupting your life it may be reassuring to talk to someone who knows how to help.

I am an experienced counsellor and both a registered and accredited member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) working in Camden, North London and I have spent many years developing in this field.

My approach is person-centred, which means I respect the ability within all of us to grow and develop to be who we fully are, given the right growth conditions for us to do this.

This requires a unique kind of relationship and an authentic and transparent way of communicating as the basis for self exploration.

By tuning into how you are feeling, together we shape the meaning behind what you're experiencing. In this way you can move around freely and start to join the dots to better understand the deeper layers of any difficulties. It's simple, yet it can have a powerful effect.

Importantly you will not be judged and so you'll discover a freedom to express those emotions & thoughts we're not 'supposed' to express, finding all facets of yourself being accepted.

Once you are able to move freely in your experience emotions surface, new understanding emerges and with this movement comes change, self acceptance and a growing self knowledge that gives you more resilience to live how you truly want, beyond the expectations of others.

Clients come to see me about all sorts of things. It could be you're in a crisis of some kind, maybe a relationship break up, a bereavement or an issue with someone that's really affecting your self confidence.

It could be that you're making a significant change in your life and you need extra support to help you through it. Or perhaps you want to meet with me as part of developing a deeper sense of being well in yourself. Therapy is all about having a place for self exploration.

Whatever it is you will find a welcoming space where you will have the freedom to do what you need to do.

"I found Anne-Marie to be warm and welcoming, we soon built up a good rapport where I felt very comfortable. The changes I made over several months really improved my wellbeing and made a very positive impact on my life. I’m grateful to know that I can go back and see Anne-Marie if and when I need to, and see this as another tool in my toolkit for looking after myself." -   CG, London
