Ann Ellison is a counsellor who uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Ann has 16 years of experience working with common life stresses, including anxiety and depression.

Her practice focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and improve daily coping. She helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse to manage intrusive memories and strong emotions.

Background and approach

Ann also supports people struggling with anger, low self-esteem or difficulty sleeping. Sessions involve listening first and then trying simple, concrete steps together. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to change unhelpful thought patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help people notice their values and take actions that matter to them. For some people, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used to work through traumatic memories. Client-Centred Therapy provides a warm, respectful atmosphere that encourages honesty and self-paced progress.

Ann adapts her approach to the issues a person brings and their preferred pace. She works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Booking begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a suitable time.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How Ann’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small, practical steps in line with what matters to them. It often involves learning to accept difficult thoughts while still doing the things that are important. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thoughts and behaviours that make problems worse and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by processing them in a structured way with the therapist’s guidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ann will discuss goals, preferences and the issues a person brings, and then suggest which methods to try first. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online therapy with Ann can be done by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and text-based formats work well for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family commitments or mobility needs while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical change and emotional support.
