Ann-Marie Ritchie works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and low self-esteem.
About Ann-Marie
Ann-Marie Ritchie works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and low self-esteem. She also helps with anger, coping with life changes, forgiveness, social anxiety and young adult issues. She uses a practical, down-to-earth style that focuses on what people can do next.
Ann-Marie follows a collaborative approach. She listens first, and helps people notice the strengths they already have. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than overly technical.
Background and approach
The aim is to make changes that fit into everyday life. Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she combines listening, looking at thought patterns, and finding small steps that lead to improvement.
Techniques are chosen to match the concern and the person rather than following a single script. Ann-Marie has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.
Her background supports short-term practical work and longer conversations when needed. People can expect clear, simple goals and practical tools to use between sessions. The focus is on making daily life feel more manageable.
Ann-Marie aims to offer a calm space where concerns are talked through and realistic steps are planned.

Approaches Ann-Marie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt the mix of listening, skills work and short tasks to what suits them best. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break from work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or pacing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep work moving forward over time.
