About Anne
Anne Ryan-Thomas is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship and family concerns, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar.
Anne draws on a mix of clear talking therapies. She uses client-centred ways of working that focus on a person's own priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Narrative and Jungian ideas can be used to look at life stories and deeper personal meaning.
Before training as a counsellor, Anne worked for 20 years as a nurse in the NHS. That background shaped her interest in health-related issues and the mind-body connection. She often integrates practical health understanding when people bring chronic pain, illness or caregiving stress.
Sessions tend to be practical and down to earth. Anne aims to help people try small, manageable changes and then review how those changes feel. She offers coaching-style support alongside therapy when people want help with career or goal-focused work.
Her experience includes working with addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and issues around identity including LGBT concerns. She works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches transfer to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what matters to the person and builds on their own goals; online sessions can use this to structure each meeting around current concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces practical exercises and experiments that can be set as between-session tasks. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe their life stories, which can be explored through conversation and written or creative tasks remotely.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what fits best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more towards practical CBT tasks, reflective narrative work, or client-centred conversation.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also support practical homework, written reflections and shorter check-in meetings when needed.
