Hello, I'm Anna.
I work with adults who have long term emotional difficulties or feel stuck in the circles of self-defeating behaviours.
I help my clients to understand the underlying reasons of their issues and change their experiences.
My approach
I work online worldwide, and use schema therapy to address long-standing emotional challenges. It will be great for you if you feel stuck in a repetitive cycle but struggle to break free.
​
-
You will have a warm and caring space to be listened to, understood, and validated.
-
We will understand the origins of your loneliness.
-
We will work with all aspects of your experience: behaviour, thoughts, and emotions.
-
We will find ways to fulfil your needs in connection and attachment.
-
You will be able to calm the emotional response you have to the traumatic memories.
​
Some clients require more structure, others need a more client-led approach. We will find the right pace and format together.
What does the process look like?
1. Begin with a free 30-minute session to discuss your needs and how I can help.
​
2. If I am the right therapist for you, I will provide a specific plan for your needs.
3. We will work according to the plan once or twice a week, with regular assessments of the progress.
How long does it take?
​We work on the issues that took many years to form. Luckily, the neural pathways that make you think, feel, and behave in certain ways, can be changed. The transformation requires time, effort, end consistency.
​
The therapy usually takes at least one year and can take longer, depending on the complexity of your issues and the frequency of the sessions.
What are my values?
Relationships
Therapy is about the therapeutic relationship that heals.
Safety
Acceptance, confidentiality, and consistency are the cornerstones of safety.
Respect
All emotions are valid. All sides of personality are there for a reason.
Cooperation
You are the expert in your life. We work together to make it better.
