About Ann
Ann Ellison is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to make therapy feel straightforward and respectful. She draws on 16 years of experience in the UK and a BACP credential to offer steady support for common, everyday struggles. Her manner is warm and plainspoken, aimed at people who need help working through stressful or painful situations.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety with practical steps to reduce overwhelm. For those affected by trauma and abuse she offers a calm space to talk through difficult memories at a pace that suits the person. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, loss, sleep problems and life changes.
Ann uses a mix of approaches alongside her client-centred stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and make small behaviour changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers ways to clarify values and take action even when feelings are hard. She also lists EMDR as part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories.
Sessions focus on what a person needs right now, whether that is short-term coping or longer conversations about career pressures and relationships. She aims to make each session a practical step forward, with plain language and realistic tasks to try between meetings.

How Ann’s approaches fit with online work
Ann uses a client-centred stance to shape sessions around each person’s concerns, giving space to talk and decide what matters most. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and building a trusting working relationship to help people feel heard and understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, supports people to clarify their values and take meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult, which can be useful for life changes and motivation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to choose methods that suit their goals and comfort, and may combine listening-led sessions with CBT or ACT exercises when helpful.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy levels, for example shorter check-ins when days are full.
