MY APPROACH
You’re not alone
Just having a space to talk it through can be a great place to begin.
Perhaps you’re feeling anxious, stuck or overwhelmed.
Maybe you’re noticing patterns you’d like to understand but you don’t know where to start.
Or maybe you know what’s happened, but you need a space to process it, and begin to recover.
My approach is rooted in person-centred counselling: thoughtful, collaborative and empathetic.
But I can also be challenging, and questioning, encouraging you to fully explore your world and through that exploration, find solutions.
There’s no right or wrong reason to come for therapy, but I can help with past traumas, childhood experiences, and relationship patterns. Current issues may include
01
Anxiety & overwhelm
Worries, stress and negative thoughts can become overwhelming, and it’s hard to know how to make them stop.
02
Low mood & feeling stuck
Life can feels heavy, pointless, or not how you had hoped.
03
Stress & burnout
The demands of life can feel overwhelming, with not obvious way out.
04
Confidence & self-worth
Self-doubt and crises of confidence can leave you with dread and unable to achieve your potential
05
Difficult Relationships – Family, work and friendships
Processing what has gone on, and why, and finding a way forward
06
Grief & loss
Allowing your feelings, and understanding the grieving process, without pressure to move on or feel a certain way.
Anna Worthington
COUNSELLOR · NCPS ACCREDITED
The role of therapy is to empower people to live better lives.
Hello, I’m Anna.
I trained as a person-centred counsellor and have worked in private practice for over 6 years. My approach to practice has developed through my experience, further training and a continuing curiosity about people.
I’m particularly interested in how our experiences shape our lives. How we can process the past and take control of our futures. I’m fascinated by neurobiology – how the brain works, and the ability we have to rewire our minds. I’m also interested in the connection between mind, body and the autonomic nervous system. I take a holistic approach to life and therapy and believe in the importance of treating our lives as a whole.
I love nature, and personally enjoy the healing power of being outdoors.
I provide a neutral and welcoming space to all in therapy. I am relaxed and friendly, but can also be challenging and am not afraid to question – though always with your best interests at heart. Your word will always be final. I enjoy getting to know each and every one of my clients and feel honoured to be allowed to be part of their journey.
I am fully professionally insured and an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society.
My training & qualifications
Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory, Levels 3 & 4 — Exeter College.
Level 3 Advanced Practitioner in Emotional Freedom Technique, accredited by the EFT & Mindfulness Centre.
Continuing professional development includes anxiety and panic, chronic stress, complex trauma, depression, and the connection between the brain and recovery.
WORKING TOGETHER
Your therapy.
Your way.
Different people feel comfortable in different settings, and have different schedule limitations. We’ll find a way of working that feels right for you.
A familiar space. A real connection.
Therapy from a private, comfortable place of your choosing. We can meet over Zoom or talk by telephone, making sessions easier to fit into your life.
From wherever you feel comfortable
You’ll need a quiet, private space and a reliable internet connection or phone signal.
Time together, away from everyday life.
If you prefer to sit together in the same room, I also offer in-person sessions in Kennington, London SE17. We can talk through what you’re looking for in our introductory call.

ONE STEP AT A TIME
Starting can be simple.
01
Say hello
Send me a short email. You don’t need to tell your whole story — just let me know you’d like to talk.
02
Have a conversation
We’ll arrange a free 20-minute call to get to know each other and explore what you’re looking for.
03
Find a way forward
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll agree a time and setting for your first session. We’ll take it from there.
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
It’s okay to
have questions.
If there’s something else on your mind, please get in touch.
I’ve never had therapy. Where do I start?
You can start with a free 20-minute conversation, by phone or online. We’ll talk a little about what’s brought you here, I’ll explain how I work, and you can ask questions. It’s a chance to see whether working together feels right, with no obligation to continue.
What does person-centred therapy mean?
It means you are at the centre of our work. I bring warmth, curiosity and professional experience, while respecting that you know your own life best. We’ll explore what matters to you, at a pace that feels manageable, rather than follow a fixed agenda.
Do I need to know what I want to talk about?
No. You might have something specific on your mind, or simply a feeling that things aren’t quite right. You don’t need a diagnosis, a clear explanation, or the ‘right’ words to begin. We can find a starting point together.
How long are sessions, and how much do they cost?
Sessions last 60 minutes. An individual session is £60, or you can book six sessions for £300. Concessionary rates are available — please ask. Your introductory 20-minute conversation is free.
How many sessions will I need?
There’s no single answer. You may want to focus on something specific or take time to explore a little more. We can discuss this together and review how the work is feeling as we go. You don’t need to decide everything at the start.
Will our conversations be confidential?
Confidentiality is an important part of our work together. Before we begin, we’ll discuss how this works, how your information is handled, and the professional limits to confidentiality, so that you can make an informed choice.
WHEN YOU FEEL READY
A conversation
can be a beginning.
You don’t need to have the words ready.
A simple “hello” is enough.
