About Anne
Anne Ryan-Thomas is a BACP-registered counsellor with 12 years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger and a broad range of life challenges. Her practice also covers relationship strain, addictions, sleep and eating issues, mood concerns and career-related stress.
She draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to keep sessions practical and focused. Anne adapts her way of working to each person and uses narrative and Jungian ideas when helpful. She also brings experience from a prior 20-year nursing career in the NHS and uses that background when people want to look at health-related problems or the mind-body connection.
Sessions are conversational. People can expect to talk through what leads to angry responses, notice patterns, and practise different ways of responding. Anne uses simple exercises from CBT alongside reflective discussion to help reduce reactivity and build day-to-day coping skills.
She supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar and longer-term mood issues, as well as challenges around identity and LGBT concerns. She also works with caregiver stress and long-term health conditions where emotional strain is a factor.
Anne aims to be straightforward and practical in sessions. She helps people spot what keeps problems going and tests small changes that can be used straight away. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Anne draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people explore their own solutions, which suits people who want reflective conversation about anger and relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers clear strategies and exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, helping with irritability, workplace stress and reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne discusses needs, goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods in collaboration. That means trying practical CBT tools where useful and using client-centred listening or narrative exploration where it helps to understand patterns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make attending easier by fitting sessions into a lunch break, avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many people find it simpler to try exercises between meetings and bring observations back to therapy, which can speed up practical change without promising outcomes.
