Ann-Louise | Psychotherapist, Counsellor

Counselling Bloomsbury - London

My name is Ann-Louise and I am a Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist registered with UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). I am also a member of CPJA (Council for Psychoanalytic and Jungian Analysts).

My Private Practice is based in Bloomsbury, London.

I provide one-to-one Psychotherapy with both Individuals and Couples.
Therapy can be provided on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period. 

Safe, confidential and non-judgmental

I am committed to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment where we can explore issues and acknowledge psychological pain which may have been present throughout your life, or that may have developed over time in response to difficult life experiences and relationships. The aim of our work together is to identify, better understand and work through the issues that are impacting negatively on your life, to allow positive change to occur.

It can be difficult to take the first steps towards starting therapy. You may be unsure what to expect, wonder whether you will feel safe and be uncertain about what will be expected of you in sessions. I am always happy to answer any questions you have to allow you to feel comfortable and to give you a sense of what therapy may be like and what to expect.

I welcome this opportunity because I want you to feel comfortable so you will take the steps needed to experience therapy. An initial assessment appointment, which takes place at the beginning of a period of therapy, is also an opportunity for you to find out more about what therapy will be like and to ask any questions you may have.

I attend supervision and Professional Development training on a regular basis, throughout the year, as I believe expanding my knowledge and keeping up to date with current developments in Psychotherapy and mental and emotional health issues is important.
