Profile

Anne is fully a accredited psychotherapist affiliated to and working under the guidelines of the IACP. Anne’s Masters qualification in Psychotherapy was preceded by a post graduate higher diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Before studying to become a Psychotherapist Anne worked as and co-owned a successful Personal Fitness Training business for over ten years. Working so closely with individuals’ in her previous career Anne has gained great insight into human behaviour and motivation. Anne now couples her experience and knowledge of human behaviour with her studies and clinical experience in Psychotherapy.

As a student Anne saw the positive personal impact that comes from furthering ones education, both on a personal level and a vocational level. Eight years ago Anne got the opportunity to work on a pilot programme which saw long term unemployed individuals undertaking further study. Anne has moved from a tutor to a mentor (of tutors) position. Anne gets to work closely with mentees, using her knowledge and experience to put in place a scaffold in which the mentee can grow and in turn create an environment for their students that is safe and one that allows every individual to reach their fullest potential. Anne uses a humanistic approach in all of the work that she does. Anne’s move into psychotherapy is born out of her desire to assist people as they try to cope with issues preventing them from leading a full life.
