About Ann

Ann Ellison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, grief, sleeping difficulties, career concerns, coping with life changes and ADHD. She aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Ann works in a calm, non-judgemental way. She listens closely and helps people name what is most worrying them.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and aim to build small, useful skills for day-to-day life. Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a person-centred stance. That means she pays attention to each person’s goals and adapts tools to fit their situation.

She uses therapies that help people reframe unhelpful thoughts, accept difficult feelings, and process traumatic memories when needed. People can expect clear explanations about what happens in sessions. Ann helps set achievable aims and reviews progress regularly.

She balances structured techniques with space to talk about feelings and experiences. She offers a mix of session formats to suit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the listed scheduling options.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then take small actions that match their values and goals. ACT can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that make problems worse and practising different ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like low mood or sleep problems. EMDR is a method used to work through distressing memories by guiding attention while recalling them, which some people find helpful after trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. That might mean trying short CBT exercises one week and using ACT ideas or EMDR-related work in later sessions, depending on goals and comfort levels.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, travel or family life.
