I am a person-centred & CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) Counsellor, who sees clients face to face in a private setting in my own home, in Bexley, Kent. I work short or long term with clients aged 5 to 85+ on any of the issues mentioned above. I worked for three years as a Counsellor at a Project for permanently excluded children, and still work for CRUSE Bereavement Care with children and adults suffering loss. I have wide experience of working with a diverse range of clients of differing gender, ages, sexual orientation and socio-economic classes, with differing cultures, racial and religious backgrounds. I regularly attend training courses and enjoy learning new techniques. I adhere to the BACP Ethics and have regular supervision.

"Anne, you became my sunshine and chased my cloudy days away, now I smile nearly all the time." Nine Year Old Boy
 
"The best gift I gave my son was to listen to how he felt/interpreted my divorce. The skills Anne taught me to achieve this will stay with me forever. In a matter of weeks the change in my son was overwhelming. The guilt he carried around with him vanished. I once again had my happy confident son back. It's as if Anne's wand had magic powers and my son's behaviour changed in the best possible way. Anne truly has a special gift. The skills she showed in understanding my son's pain, turning negative thoughts he had into positive ones, is such a wonderful thing to see and hear." Mother of Nine Year Old Boy
