About Ann
Ann Ellison is a counsellor who uses person-centred care alongside practical therapies to help people manage anxiety, depression and life stress. She holds BACP accreditation and brings 16 years of experience working with people through difficult changes. Ann aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk honestly about what they are feeling.
Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centred listening and EMDR where appropriate.
Background and approach
She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, achievable changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to work towards. Ann has particular experience supporting people after trauma and abuse, and she also helps with anger, sleep difficulties and low self-esteem.
She uses practical tools for coping, alongside exploration of values and goals. This can make daily life feel more manageable. People also come to her for help with relationships, career transitions, grief and ADHD-related challenges.
She works at a pace set by the individual and adapts techniques to their needs. The aim is to build skills for facing current problems and for future resilience. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Ann acknowledges that courage.
She encourages clear, small next steps so people can find a way forward steadily and with support.

How Ann’s approaches work in online therapy
Ann combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people facing anxiety, low mood and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that matter, even when thoughts feel difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse and tests simple changes to those patterns to see if life improves.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ann will talk through what feels most useful and try methods at a pace the person can manage. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection and flexible contact between calls. These options make therapy more accessible for people with busy schedules or limited ability to travel.
