Ann Patmore is a United Kingdom based therapist with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, parenting concerns, motivation and self esteem, and has particular expertise in attention and concentration difficulties including ADHD and late diagnosis into adulthood. Her practice also addresses issues such as confidence, memory, addictions, relationships, trauma and compassion fatigue.

She holds BACP, which is membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person she works with. Ann adapts her dialogue and treatment plans to reflect an individual’s circumstances, goals and strengths, combining practical strategies with sensitive listening.

Ann approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin the process of change. She aims to create a collaborative environment where clients can build skills, increase self-understanding and make meaningful progress toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Ann Patmore uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skill building and understanding patterns that contribute to difficulties. One strand of her work emphasizes structured skill development to help with attention, concentration and ADHD-related challenges, offering clear strategies for managing day-to-day focus and organization. Another element centres on short-term, goal-oriented approaches to reduce stress and anxiety by identifying unhelpful patterns and rehearsing alternative responses. A further area of focus involves supportive, exploratory work for family, relationship and parenting issues, helping people improve communication, set boundaries and process difficult experiences.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Ann will work with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to continue support during transitions, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, evidence-informed care from a distance while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
