About Annie
Annie Ryan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of private practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and anger, among other concerns. Annie aims to listen clearly and help clients find practical ways to manage the problems they bring.
She helps people cope with life changes, addiction, grief and trauma. She also supports issues linked to intimacy, parenting, career pressures and low self-esteem. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue, as listed in her profile.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on honest, practical conversations. Annie and the client set a pace that suits the individual and review progress periodically. She talks through goals and steps so people can try small changes between meetings.
Annie has experience with additional concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family issues and body image. She also works with people affected by divorce, domestic violence and caregiving stress. Her background includes helping those processing adoption and foster care experiences.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation about what is working and what is not. She invites clients to be open about their needs so they can build a realistic plan together. To begin, the site’s matching process and scheduling steps are used to set up the first appointment.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in counselling include cognitive approaches and trauma-informed methods. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety, and they include practical exercises to try between sessions. Trauma-informed methods focus on understanding how past experiences affect current reactions, and they help people develop ways to respond differently to triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. Decisions about methods are collaborative and reviewed over time so the plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because specific formats are not detailed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar setting or who need more flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can explain the practical options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
