About Ann
Ann Foster is a counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She uses a relational, client-led style and focuses on what each person brings to the room. Ann keeps sessions centred on the client's needs and goals while offering steady support through difficult moments.
She draws on client-centred principles to build trust and help people feel heard. Ann also uses narrative and trauma-focused ideas to untangle stories that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
Internal Family Systems informs her work when exploring inner parts and how they relate to one another. People come to her with stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar-related concerns. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse.
Additional areas she supports include eating and body-image worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness, work strain and compassion fatigue. In sessions Ann aims for clear, practical steps alongside emotional processing. Conversations look at patterns, communication, and small changes that fit everyday life.
She helps people work through career questions, commitment difficulties, control issues and problems with attachment or avoidance. Her approach is collaborative: clients and Ann make a plan together and review progress as they go. Sessions may include talk, reflection and exercises that build new ways of coping.
Ann communicates in plain terms and focuses on realistic goals that a person can use between meetings.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ann will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together they will choose techniques that fit those aims. That collaborative planning includes checking how well methods are working and adjusting them as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when visual cues are helpful; phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or need more frequent brief contact. These formats help people fit therapy around work and family commitments and keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
