Taking the step to seeking therapy is both courageous and empowering. From my own personal journey and professional experience, I understand how crucial it is to connect with a counsellor who genuinely understands and aligns with your unique needs.
“I’m a counsellor that meets you where you are, ensuring you are truly understood”.
As a pluralistic counsellor, I integrate multiple therapeutic approaches to support your individual journey. My practice specialises in the following interconnected areas:
Understanding anxiety, managing stress levels, and developing coping strategies tailored specifically to your experiences.
Providing a safe, compassionate environment to explore past experiences and trauma. Often, traumatic experiences from childhood or earlier life stages continue to impact us, feeling as raw and immediate as if they happened yesterday. By exploring these memories gently, we aim to facilitate emotional processing, healing, and relief from persistent anxiety.
Supporting you in exploring your self-worth, strengths, and personal values, boosting confidence, and fostering self-compassion. Frequently, experiences from childhood or past trauma can negatively impact our self-esteem and influence how we interact with others in adulthood. Therapy provides the space to reclaim your self-worth and improve relationships and self-perception.
Creating therapeutic spaces sensitive and tailored to the unique experiences of neurodiverse individuals. Increasing awareness and understanding of neurodiversity often brings adults to question aspects of their identity and the support they need. Together, we explore these new insights, helping you understand yourself better and advocating effectively for your needs.
Inner Child Therapy involves reconnecting with your younger self—the part of you that holds childhood experiences, emotions, and memories. Through creative exploration, including guided imagery, expressive arts, journaling, and dialogue exercises, we address how childhood wounds and unmet emotional needs continue influencing your adult life. Connecting with and nurturing your inner child can promote profound emotional healing, increase self-awareness, and build resilience against anxiety and emotional distress.

My counselling approach prioritises creating a compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential environment. I’m committed to making sure you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood.
I offer therapy in a warm, natural therapeutic space located on the ground floor with disability access. Our large, inviting space provides opportunities for diverse therapeutic exploration—whether that’s relaxing on the floor with bean bags surrounded by nature and fairy lights, sitting comfortably on a sofa reminiscent of your own living room, or engaging creatively at our table equipped for art and crafting activities.
I hold professional qualifications and maintain memberships with respected counselling bodies, ensuring high professional standards and ongoing training.
Your past experiences have already shown your resilience—let’s rediscover your strengths and navigate your path forward together.

Client, 2025
Alannah is lovely & since going to see her I’ve been able to understand more about the things that have been going on in my head but this has taught me how to start to deal with them aswell. For the few sessions that I’ve had with her I already feel better and feel I’m able to process things better without doubting myself. The setting of the room I feel works perfectly too. It’s warm, welcoming & a safe place to be. I look forward to my sessions particularly if I’m feeling overwhelmed, I feel a lot more calm when I leave. Id highly recommend her services.

Alannah has changed my life and I am very pleased I came across her when searching for a counsellor. I am 100% a better person both mentally and physically than before I began my counselling journey and I would recommend her to anyone seeking similar services.
Client, 2025
I've had therapy before within my workplace, and I just felt judged or made to feel like I needed to move on quickly. I had three sessions with Alannah where she gave me Brainspotting. Before seeing Alannah I was riddled with negative thoughts. This technique she used helped me get rid of all that and move on – It was great.
2021 Client
I had been struggling with work for a while, I felt bullied and isolated. Alannah supported me in finding my own strengths and confidence to be able to become more assertive with my boundaries. I now have a new job that I love and feel happier in myself and my workplace.

I was in a black hole before coming to see you. I couldn't get out. Then there you were, and you jumped into that hole with me bringing a ladder, step by step I’ve climbed up it with you by my side all the way. You helped my mind become itself again and remind me what I’m capable of. Thanks Alannah.

I know you’ll tell me that it was me who put all the work in and we only saw each other six times, but honestly you saved me. My wife and children thank you for bringing me back to myself. I never thought I’d feel like me again. I can never thank you enough Alannah.
2022 Client
Alannah is a fantastic counsellor who has helped me more than I can begin to describe and guided me on my journey to better mental health, she would always tell me that I've done it for myself but the truth is she showed me how to find myself again after being lost in the fog of depression & anxiety.
