About Ann
Ann Ellison uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She combines conversations with evidence-based techniques to make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings. Ann speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone under pressure.
With 16 years of experience, Ann draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people with a history of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
These methods are applied in straightforward ways so people can practise new skills between sessions. Ann supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, motivation and relationship strain. She also works with grief, sleeping difficulties, career concerns and ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life. Her style is calm and down-to-earth. She encourages honest conversation and aims to reduce shame around hard topics.
People can expect practical tools, gentle reflection and collaborative goal-setting. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is used to connect someone to her. After that, sessions can be booked and arranged according to what works best for the individual.
Ann keeps the process clear and paced to suit each person.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to test new outcomes. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and motivation.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by processing them in a structured way under guidance. It is applied for trauma and abuse histories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, then tailor sessions accordingly in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when you do not want to be on camera, live chat works for quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
