Ann Marsh is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with issues linked to trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. Ann’s style aims to be straightforward and practical so parents can find clear ways forward.

Ann is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of clinical experience and uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small steps that feel doable. Her work often looks at how early attachments affect current relationships and feelings. She combines conversational, client-led listening with techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and stories people tell themselves.

This can help with panic attacks, social anxiety and mood difficulties. Ann also pays attention to issues like abandonment, guilt and shame, and difficulties with communication. She helps people think about life purpose and rebuild self-love after painful experiences.

Where trauma is present, she aims to help people regain a sense of control and forward momentum. Appointments are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and reduce fear of abandonment or repeated hurt. Client-centred therapy focuses on clear, compassionate listening and helping the person lead the pace of sessions; it is useful when someone needs a calm space to make sense of difficult emotions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises; it is often used for anxiety, panic attacks and mood issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that suit the person and adjust the plan as things change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for work breaks, caring responsibilities and different levels of energy while still keeping therapy accessible.
