About Ann
Ann Ellison is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people feel calmer and more in control. She brings 16 years of experience and a BACP credential to her work. Ann keeps things straightforward and easy to follow so parents can read quickly and decide if they want to try a session.
She focuses on stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, and problems with sleeping.
Background and approach
Career worries, relationship strains, grief and self-esteem concerns are other common topics she addresses. Ann listens without judging and encourages people to talk at their own pace. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment approaches, and EMDR to help process difficult memories and change unhelpful patterns.
Sessions are practical and focused on small steps that fit into daily life. Her style is calm and direct. She helps people spot thoughts and behaviours that hold them back and then practises alternatives together.
Conversations include ways to manage stress, simple exercises to improve sleep, and techniques to reduce anxiety. People can expect clear explanations and straightforward tasks between sessions. Ann explains what she is doing and checks that the approach fits each person.
This makes it easier to build progress one step at a time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Ann uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses over time. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems because it focuses on small, practical changes that people can practise between sessions.She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, to help people process distressing memories. EMDR sessions can support reduction in the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger when the approach fits the person's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans so the approach matches each person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides choice of techniques.
Online therapy offers flexibility and more ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit short check-ins, while live chat and text messaging provide ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while still working through practical exercises and emotional material.
