About Ann
Ann Patmore offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by everyday pressures. She helps with stress, anxiety, parenting strains, low self-esteem and problems with focus and concentration. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and practical for anyone unsure where to begin.
Patmore is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people navigating ADHD, including those diagnosed later in adulthood, and with issues linked to memory and motivation.
Background and approach
Her approach is attuned to people who struggle to concentrate or to keep routines on track. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. She listens for what matters most and adapts conversations and plans to fit everyday life.
The work is direct and compassionate, with simple tools to try between sessions when those are useful. Ann also supports people dealing with family conflict, relationship problems and recovery after trauma and abuse. She can help with anger, addiction-related concerns, feelings of isolation and the strain that comes from career change or compassion fatigue.
She will explain options and work at a pace that suits the individual. The emphasis is on practical steps, clearer communication and managing emotions so daily life becomes easier to handle.

Online support
Another common approach is work that improves attention and organisation through routine building and small behavioural changes. This is helpful for people with ADHD or with difficulties concentrating, as it focuses on simple strategies to improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss options, try methods that match the client's goals and adapt techniques based on what feels helpful in practice.
Online formats make this flexible. Video calls let you read expressions and work in a conversational way. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written conversations or need support across the day. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and other commitments rather than requiring travel.
