About Ann
Ann Marsh is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also lists concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and workplace difficulties.
Ann prefers clear, conversational sessions. She works in a way that helps people talk through what is happening now and how the past may still affect them. Sessions are aimed at making sense of feelings, learning practical ways to respond, and exploring different ways of describing painful experiences.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural tools, existential questions and narrative techniques. That means she pays attention to relationships and patterns, listens for what matters most to the client, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going, and invites clients to tell their experience in ways that can change how they feel about it.
In practice, this can look like reflecting on difficult memories, naming unhelpful thinking, trying small behaviour changes between sessions, or rewriting troublesome stories about the self. Ann aims to help people who carry guilt or shame work through those feelings and the situations behind them without promising a specific outcome.
Sessions follow a straightforward process for first contact and ongoing work. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an appointment through the service.
How Ann integrates different approaches for online work
Ann draws on attachment-based ideas that focus on how past and present relationships shape feelings and expectations. This can help when shame or guilt feels tied to others or to early care. Client-centred practice puts the person's concerns and priorities at the centre, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so the client can find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and actions that keep distress going, offering practical steps to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and decide collaboratively which methods to use based on the client's goals and preferences.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people work from different locations and choose whether to use video, phone or another supported format if those are offered. Ann will help plan sessions so they fit into everyday life while focusing on the issues you bring.
