About Ann
Ann Patmore is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress and anxiety, and with those managing family or parenting pressures. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, focus and concentration problems, and low self-esteem.
Ann focuses on practical conversation and clear planning. She listens to what is happening now and helps people set manageable steps. Sessions often involve talking through everyday situations, spotting patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps.
She has particular experience with adults who receive a late diagnosis of ADHD and with related concentration and memory issues. That experience shapes how she frames problems and suggests strategies that fit daily life. Ann also addresses addiction issues, relationship concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse when these come up.
People bring a wide range of worries including abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Ann supports work on anger, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the strain of divorce or separation. She is familiar with issues that affect LGBT clients and the pressures of career change or compassion fatigue.
Her way of working begins with a short assessment and a plan that sets clear goals. She uses evidence-based techniques that focus on skills practice and reflection. To start, clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a first session.
How Ann uses evidence-based methods in online work
Ann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and learning. One approach emphasises breaking problems into small, manageable steps and testing what helps; this is useful for anxiety, phobias and everyday stress. Another common strand addresses attention and organisation, offering practical strategies for concentration, memory and the challenges that come with a later ADHD diagnosis.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Ann starts by listening to your main concerns and goals, then suggests a way of working. She will check in and adjust methods as you go so the plan fits your feedback and needs.
If you want to try online work, confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, such as shorter check-ins between commitments or sessions that avoid travel time. They can also allow different ways of working, like focusing on practical tools without long travel, and the therapist will discuss what will best fit your routine and preferences.
