About Ann

Ann Patmore greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, worried or stuck. She focuses on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety and problems linked to family life and parenting. Ann also supports people facing issues with self-esteem, focus, ADHD and life changes.

Ann has worked in the United Kingdom for 12 years and holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing. She commonly helps people who are adjusting to a late ADHD diagnosis in adulthood and those coping with concentration or memory concerns.

Background and approach

Her approach is practical and personal rather than one-size-fits-all. Sessions begin with a short conversation to understand what matters most to the person. From there she and the client shape a simple plan with realistic steps.

She adapts language and pace to each person, so conversations feel approachable and clear. Ann also offers support around relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addiction issues and trauma and abuse. She listens for patterns such as control issues, codependency or attachment concerns, then works with people to build new ways of reacting and relating.

Her style is respectful and sensitive, aiming to make therapy manageable alongside life commitments. Practical techniques and reflective conversation are used together to improve daily functioning and emotional coping. Ann encourages small, steady changes rather than sudden overhauls.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Ann lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit your life

Ann works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach is brief, structured work aimed at improving concentration and managing symptoms of anxiety and ADHD; this involves setting specific goals and practising simple skills between sessions. Another approach uses reflective dialogue and problem-solving to address relationship strain, family difficulties and trauma-related reactions, helping people notice patterns and try different responses.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ann will listen to your history, current concerns and what you hope to achieve, then help choose techniques that suit your needs and preferences. She tailors pace and methods as you go, checking in regularly to make sure the work feels useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations when seeing facial cues helps, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel without losing continuity of care.
