Annie Ryan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stressful life moments. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about what is worrying them. Annie draws on five years working in independent practice to guide the process.

She holds BACP as a professional credential. Annie focuses on everyday problems like stress and anxiety, and on complex concerns such as trauma, addictions and bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain and career questions. Her wider interests include attachment, adoption and foster care matters, codependency and body image. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client now.

Together they identify priorities and set simple, practical goals. Progress is checked regularly so the pace can be changed if needed. The aim is skills and insights that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Annie offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options suit different routines and comfort levels and can be chosen for shorter check-ins or deeper weekly work. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability. Annie is not taking international clients and works with people in English only. She welcomes contacts from those ready to take a first step toward change.

How Annie's approaches work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to focus on clear, practical change. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks big worries into small steps and builds skills for managing stress and anxiety. Another is trauma-informed work, which helps people understand their reactions and develop ways to feel steadier after upsetting events. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Annie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on methods to try. Progress is reviewed together and the plan is adjusted if something isn’t helping. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are useful for in-depth weekly work and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into busy days and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, brief support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking.r These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, ongoing support while working with what the client finds most helpful.
