“Quiet stability.

Connecting the dots of what I'm thinking without me having to say a thing.  

Understanding  what I'm feeling without me having to spell it out or elaborate on it.  

A great ability to settle into comfortable silence…the capacity to do all of that with such literal STYLE.” K.R

“Joyous, enriching, playful” S.C

“Grounding, creative, body-based exploration and support with discomfort, dis-ease, uncertainty. Seriously playful, kind company on the existential journey” K.S

“Incredibly friendly, open and patient.  Questioning without being intrusive, and doing so in a kind way.  Not afraid to challenge.“ M.J

“It has helped me to better acknowledge and understand how I feel, and how different emotions feel in my body. It has also helped me to recognise the kinds of expectations I bring into certain situations and helped me to let go of them more and just experience a moment for what it is, rather than what I want it to be (which is sometimes better / different in a good way). And it has made me realise that I don’t necessarily have to change the way I feel, and the idea that I have to be happy all the time is actually what causes a lot of negative feelings.” J.S 

“I went to see Annie at a point in my life where i realised i needed to change things and really look inside at my thoughts and behaviours. Therapy was new to me and especially art therapy was a bit of a leap into the unknown. 

I cannot stress how grateful I am for taking that leap. Annie supported me through two years of self discovery... the tears (and there were many), the aha moments and sharing joy. She slowed down my thinking as I try to rush past my issues and would encourage me to sit with the uncomfortable. 

I came away from my time with Annie as a much more intuitive person, with greater understanding of my needs and my reasons for why i do what i do. Its very hard to change the habits of a lifetime but Annie set me on a path to being the me I want to be. 

I cannot recommend Annie's services enough and can assure you,  your life will be improved from having her as your therapist. “

“It’s okay if you don’t know what you want to talk about at therapy, and you don’t need to expect to talk about the most difficult things all the time. Sometimes just having space to work through the everyday can be so valuable, especially when you’re going through something difficult. Think of it as a safe space where you can do and say whatever you need.”

“Therapy has helped me to learn a huge amount about myself, how I approach situations and how I build relationships. It has helped me to move forward after bereavement and feel confident in staying well in the future.” CS

“would come to you if i felt i was getting narrowed down in my options / approach / attitude, getting tied up in unconscious assumptions / rules and wanted to realign myself back into my own true values. Kind of opening back out into freedom, courage to follow my own way.”

“Your comforting humanness, transparency, willingness to be messy and let the world be messy - that willingness to ‘be with’ on the existential plain.  I like how you make me feel "felt with” as opposed to being just understood.” S.P
