About Anne

Anne Ryan-Thomas is a BACP-registered therapist with 12 years of practical counselling experience who works with people at different stages of life and from diverse backgrounds. She previously spent 20 years working as a nurse in the NHS, which informs her interest in health-related concerns and the connection between physical wellbeing and emotional health.

Anne uses a range of therapeutic methods, including a person-centred way of working, cognitive behavioral therapy, and creative arts therapy, and she shapes her approach to meet each individual’s needs. Her practice emphasizes listening, collaboration, and practical tools to help clients explore challenges and build coping strategies.

Based in the United Kingdom, Anne combines clinical training with frontline healthcare experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, and other personal difficulties. She is registered with the BACP - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and aims to provide a respectful, empathetic space where clients can work toward their goals.

Approaches That Shape Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes the client’s own perspective and personal growth, offering a supportive, non-directive space to explore feelings and choices and often helping with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, providing practical strategies that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and related problems. Narrative Therapy invites clients to separate themselves from their difficulties by re-examining personal stories and creating alternative, more empowering narratives, which can be useful for trauma, identity concerns, and long-standing patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Anne works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most helpful and adapt the work as progress is made.

Online therapy with Anne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home, while allowing sessions to be scheduled around work, caregiving, or mobility needs.
