About Annie
Annie Ryan is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing a wide range of concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Annie draws on five years of independent practice experience to offer calm, practical support.
She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT matters, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges connected to parenting and career.
Background and approach
Everyday problems such as low self-esteem, anger and communication difficulties are included too. Annie aims to create a warm, respectful space for clients to talk through what is troubling them. Sessions focus on being open and honest together, then agreeing a straightforward plan to move forward.
She adapts the pace to each person and checks progress regularly. Alongside core concerns she has particular interest in issues like attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family strains, caregiver stress and body image. She also supports people with codependency, dissociation, separation and domestic violence histories.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through several formats. Practical details such as scheduling and payment use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Finding the right fit is collaborative. Annie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest an approach to try. She reviews progress together and adapts methods if something is not working, so the plan evolves with the client's feedback.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, care duties and busy schedules, while keeping contact consistent between sessions.
