Anxiety, fear & phobia counselling & therapy Astwood Bank

As a dedicated therapist, I specialise in helping my clients overcome all forms of anxiety, fears, and phobias through a gentle and compassionate approach. By integrating techniques such as hypnotherapy, counselling, EFT, IEMT, NLP and mindfulness, I tailor each session to address my clients' unique needs, fostering a safe and empowering space for healing. My goal is to provide practical tools and structured support that enable lasting change, which helps my clients regain control and confidence in their lives.

I help people to understand who they are and how their brains work so they can live free from anxiety and never have to rely on medication or traditional talking therapies again.

How does anxiety affect you? At work? In your relationships? How you see yourself? Your ability to achieve your goals? Perhaps all of these and more!

I've been there and I know the way out.

I will help you dissolve all of this and uncover the magic inside you so that you can live a life of ongoing growth, fulfilment, happiness and purpose.

Welcome! I’m Anna, although our office is located in London, I work online from Hull.

Since 2011, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals confront their fears, phobias, and anxieties, guiding them toward a more peaceful and confident life.

Anxiety is exhausting. That constant hum of worry, the racing thoughts, the sense that something is wrong — even when nothing seems to be.
You try to keep going, keep smiling, keep coping… but inside, it’s chaos.
Maybe you have never really felt safe – not with others, not even with yourself."

If you are tired of living like this, you are not alone. And you do not have to do it all on your own anymore.

I have 16 years of experience as a psychotherapist to draw on in helping you to deal with anxiety. I tailor my approach to each individual using CBT alongside Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and others. I do understand how overwhelming anxiety can be and will offer you a safe place to talk whilst encouraging you to make the changes necessary to help you feel better.

My role is to get to know you and for you to develop a greater understanding of yourself in a safe, confidential, supportive and jargon-free environment - a space for you to explore what you want to explore, also how you feel, think and act. Working at your own pace, I offer guidance and support so fresh ways of seeing yourself, the options and making choices become available. Alongside the issues you bring to counselling, we may look at where you would like to be in your life and what prevents you getting there, so far.
