Addiction-Sign-Post-Final2
Hello

I'm Anna, a certified addiction therapist, relationship psychotherapist and a psychosexual therapist.

I'm on a mission to help people embrace their recovery and end the emotional pain and isolation associated with addiction. I believe wholeheartedly that we all deserve to live a full recovered life.

I help my clients repair the damage that addiction has caused, so they can have a full, happy recovered life – one that includes meaningful relationships, happy family dynamics and a sex life that they’re comfortable with. My approach is comprehensive but gentle and holistic. My work has taught me that rebuilding and repairing relationships after addiction is key to a successful recovery. I believe there is no situation too difficult to be bettered and no unhappiness too great to be lessened. Whether it’s you who has a problem with addiction or your partner or family member does, therapy can help you make sense of what’s happened and find the best way forward.

My superpower is putting people at ease while discussing super sensitive issues related to addiction, relationships and sex.

I combine my natural ability to talk about uncomfortable topics with my knowledge, counselling skills and coaching tools to create my unique brand of addiction therapy. I tackle the hard issues by normalising the challenges, sharing helpful information and observations in a caring, respectful and sometimes even humorous way.

Everyone deserves a

a full recovered life!

Difficulties will happen to us all. In therapy we address them together without shame or blame.

What My Clients Say

Background Overlay

"I've known Anna about eight years, in that time I took one year out to try different therapy approaches and found myself coming back. Anna has gone above and beyond for me there have been moments in my life were all I had was Anna support. I truly believe God used Anna to keep me alive. She has never given up and has seen me at absolute worst. On the darkest of days, I'd never cancel my session with Anna because I she was on my side and just wanted me to get well. I'd say if you’re not sure, just try, what have you to lose?  The misery will still be waiting if it doesn't work out. It's been a slow process but after 3 years being off work for depression, addiction and anything else you can think of, we got back to work and Anna was right there supporting me through. If I could give Anna a Google rating she'd get 5 stars (10 if could). "

MJ

"In a time of great desperation, whilst caught in the middle of a whirlwind of uncertainty and chaos in the early stages of recovery from substance abuse, we rolled the dice one last time and contacted Anna. Not only did Anna help us to save our marriage, but she helped us to grow into more emotionally balanced people. We will be eternally grateful for the patience and encouragement that she showed us from our very first session right up to the present day. "

SR

"Anna has been my therapist for many years and has been instrumental in helping me process and create boundaries as I have gone through life’s ups and downs. To people on the ‘outside’ you would say I was strong, successful and have it together. It isn’t that I’m not those things, but I am only able to be that because I allow myself the grace to be emotionally held and supported. Anna’s ability to be a consist and stable figure in my life through her professional therapeutic relationship, ensures that I know she is on my side, and has helped me through some of the most challenging times: divorce, being a single parent, a child with an eating disorder, navigating new relationships eventually leading to marriage, and expanding business. When I’m in sessions with Anna I get to have time to cry, laugh, think, and invent, but mostly, 50 minutes of being kind to myself each week."

The olive branch method

Why an olive branch?

It’s not simply because I have an olive tree outside my garden office. The olive branch sums up the philosophy behind my work. Confused? Well, you could say that starting therapy is akin to accepting an olive branch. After all, the olive branch has long been a symbol of renewal and hope, friendship and reconciliation, and above all, peace. It is an icon for those who aspire to build bridges, resolve conflicts, and cultivate harmonious relationships.

When my clients and I talk about what a recovered life might look like, these themes come up time and again. It is an absolute privilege to witness my clients achieve their aspirations, to see them thrive, as relationships heal, conflicts end, and they find hope and positivity once more. Knowing that our work together has played a part in their success is all the motivation I need.
